“stock”

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.

The Ruger American has some great features—hammer-forged barrel, reliable action, crisp trigger—but many would not consider the molded, polymer stock to be among them. With that in mind, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach went with an aftermarket solution in his quest to build a precision hunting rifle.

For 2020, Browning updates its popular Gold 10-Gauge shotgun with a redesigned stock and forearm with textured gripping surfaces and updated aesthetics.

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.

The new Browning Cynergy Wicked Wing sports a composite stock and a burnt bronze Cerakote finish on the receiver, making it nearly impervious to the kind of weather waterfowl hunters dream of.

The Bergara B-14 Wilderness Ridge sports a carbon-fiber barrel, a lightweight synthetic stock and a fluted bolt, all working in tandem to create a rifle that is as lightweight as it is precise.

Built on the popular Model 336 action, the Marlin 1895 GSBL (Guide series, Stainless steel, Big-loop, Laminate stock) is chambered in .45-70 Govt. and features a full-length tubular magazine.
