Most 10/22s sell for much less than this one, so this one deserves a close look. It is a Ruger 10/22 in.22 LR with a 20-inch barrel, a 10-round magazine and a black finish, priced around seven hundred thirteen dollars. Ask your dealer what separates it from the base models.

The 20-inch barrel is the full-length version, the same as the original rifle, and it gives a long sight radius. The 10/22 is reliable and gentle to shoot, and its rotary magazine feeds smoothly. For squirrel hunting, plinking and teaching, it is hard to beat.

The black finish suggests a synthetic stock, which stays stable in humid weather. The aftermarket for 10/22 parts is large, so you can upgrade triggers and stocks over time. Pairing the rifle with a small scope gives you good accuracy at fifty yards.

If the price includes extras such as an optic or special stock, the dealer can confirm. Clean the action after a few hundred rounds, since rimfire ammunition leaves residue. This rifle is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for the background check and transfer.
