Millions of 10/22 rifles later, people still keep buying them, and this version is easy to see why. It is chambered in .22 LR, finished in blue steel with a black stock, and the barrel is threaded.

The BX-Trigger is Ruger's name for an upgraded trigger, and it is the part that makes a 10/22 shoot better out of the box. A crisp break helps you hit small targets and makes a good rifle for teaching someone to shoot. Wipe the metal down after damp mornings and keep the bore clean, and a rifle like this can last for generations.

A .22 is the great equalizer on the farm: groundhogs, squirrels, cans, and paper. The rifle is light enough to carry all day, and ammunition is cheap enough that you can shoot a lot. If you want a rifle to practice fundamentals before deer season, this is it.

The 10/22 is also one of the most customizable rifles ever made, so you can change the stock, sights, and more as you learn.

New. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
