History of the Ruger 10/22

In 1963, founder William B. Ruger began developing the 10/22 rifle initially for police officers and military personnel. The Ruger 10-22 was first introduced to the public in 1964 and quickly gained popularity. It became a reputable rifle on the market known for its accuracy, durability, and low cost. In 1974, Ruger made a slight modification to the design by removing some of the chrome from the barrel and changing out the sights with a peep sight.

Although the Ruger 1022 was originally intended for law enforcement officers, it is now considered an excellent small game hunting rifle. Its lightweight design and aluminum receiver make it easy to carry in the field. From hunters to target shooters, the durable and rugged 10/22 Ruger is meant for everyone. In fact, we wrote previously about this popular Ruger firearm in a blog post entitled 6 Reasons You Should Own a Ruger 10/22.

Ruger 10/22 Carbine

The Ruger 10/22 Carbine maintains the classic look and feel of the original 10/22 Ruger. Its precise Ruger design ensures consistent and reliable performance. It comes chambered in .22 LR with an 18.5 inch barrel and a 10 round magazine. It features a hardwood stock, a gold bead front sight and adjustable rear sight, and alloy steel material. The cold hammer-forged barrel is locked into the receiver by a unique, two-screw, V-block system. It also includes an easy-to-use extended magazine release that provides smooth removal of the flush-mounted magazine, a cross-bolt safety, and a heat-stabilized, glass-filled, polymer trigger housing assembly.
