“10/22”

An interesting and affordable straight-pull bolt action, the Force B1, from Hammerli, is a devastating companion for any small-game hunter.

Get a closer look at the Davidson's Ruger 10/22 Compact Leopard, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

Winchester introduces the Wildcat, a striker-fired autoloading rimfire rifle that is a snap to clean because its lower receiver is easily removed from the upper with a push of a button; then hunters punch the bore by merely insert a cleaning rod through the rifle's rear access port, protecting the crown.

For 2018, Ruger introduces another rifle to existing arsenal of rimfire beauties. The RPR takes the Ruger American Rimfire bolt-action and places it in a “precision” one-piece chassis manufactured with strengthening glass-filled nylon.

What happens when you combine one of the most versatile rimfire rifles with a feature-filled stock from the premier maker of firearm-related polymer products? One such result is Magpul’s X-22 Backpacker Stock for Ruger’s 10/22 Takedown rifle.

Just two years ago, Ruger celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its venerable 10/22. One of the industry's most widely respected rimfire rifles, the 10/22 has earned a lasting home in the gun safe of many a hunter and shooter. Its dependability and versatility have endeared it to the American public, and there are few doubts that it'll be around for another five decades, at least.

Magpul had its new Hunter X-22 stock—designed specifically for the Ruger 10/22—on display at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nashville. The X-22 features an adjustable LOP and comb height, and will retail for $139.
