With proven performance, a legendary action and a renowned, reliable rotary magazine, the Ruger 10/22 rifle is ideally suited for informal target shooting, plinking, small game hunting and action-shooting events. It is sleek, perfectly balanced, rugged and superbly accurate. The 10/22 Takedown features easy, quick separation of the barrel from the action for ease of transportation and storage. Takedown is as simple as locking the bolt back and verifying that the rifle is unloaded, pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies and pulling them apart. It also has an extended magazine release for the flush-mount, detachable 10-round rotary magazine, and a precision-rifled cold hammer-forged barrel. This model has a threaded barrel capped with an SR-556/Mini-14-style flash suppressor mounted with a 1/2"-28 thread. The combination scope base adapter for both Weaver-style and .22 "tip-off" scope mounts is provided with every rifle. The 10/22 Takedown includes a backpack-style bag, which provides ample storage for your 10/22 with extra pockets and magazine pouches.

The 22 Long Rifle is the world's most popular cartridge, with annual production well into the billions of rounds. Developed in 1887 for blackpowder, it has been loaded with smokeless powder since the 1890s. The 22 Long Rifle is a rimfire cartridge using the .613-inch case developed for the 22 Long, but standard is a heavier 40-grain bullet at 1180 feet per second. .22 Long Rifle ammunition is widely manufactured and varies tremendously, from sub-sonic and match ammunition at lower velocities to lighter bullets at higher velocities, all the way to a 30-grain bullet at 1700 feet per second. With low report, almost no recoil, and superb accuracy the 22 Long Rifle has no equal for short-range target shooting, plinking, and training in both rifle and pistol; and with high velocity hollow-point ammunition is extremely effective for small game and pests out to perhaps 75 yards. Virtually all manufacturers offer 22 Long Rifle, with choices in both rifles and handguns in all action types.
