The new lightest model in the 10\/22 line, it weighs a mere 3.5 pounds, thanks partly to its 16.1-inch cold hammer-forged tensioned barrel with a lightweight carbon-fiber sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/ruger.com\/news\/2024-12-19a.html?utm_source=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">news release announcing the new rifle<\/a>, in addition to the reduction in weight, the stainless steel tensioned barrel is more rigid, reducing vibration, and is even threaded 1\/2\u2033-28 for the addition of a muzzle device of the user\u2019s choice. The gun also features a tough but lightweight Magpul MOE X-22 stock that is painted black and features a textured splatter paint for an improved grip in even the worst weather conditions while complementing the rifle\u2019s aesthetics. The stock, which has a 13.5-inch length of pull, features M-Lok attachment slots at the 6 o\u2019clock position and integral sling loops for use with locking sling swivels.<\/p>\n<p>A genuine Ruger BX-Trigger with an approximate pull weight of 2.75 pounds and a crisp, clean break add to the custom feel of the new model.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the lightweight model, Ruger\u2019s Custom Shop has added two new 10\/22 rifles fitted into a chassis manufactured by Grey Birch and featuring a tensioned barrel with a carbon-fiber sleeve and BX-Trigger. They have identical features, with one for right-handed shooters and one for left-handed shooters. The high-end Grey Birch chassis, which folds for easy transport, is adjustable for length of pull and comb height.<\/p>\n<p>The rifles\u2019 10-inch forends feature M-Lok slots and have Arca-Swiss rails under the forends. These little rifles are as cool-looking chassis rimfires as you\u2019ll likely find on the market. And with the 10\/22\u2019s legendary accuracy and reliability, there\u2019s little doubt they\u2019ll put a smile on shooters\u2019 faces who are into long-range rimfire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications: 10\/22 with Carbon-Fiber Barrel Sleeve<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Caliber:<\/strong>          .22 Long Rifle<\/p>\n<p><strong>Action:<\/strong>           Semi-Auto<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barrel:<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a016.1 inches<\/p>\n<p><strong>OA Length:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0  34.1 inches<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a03.5 pounds (empty)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stock: <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Magpul MOE X-22<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sights <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0None (Picatinny rail)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finish:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong> Clear satin<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capacity:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 10<\/p>\n<p><strong>MSRP: <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0$649<\/p>\n<p><strong>Specifications: Custom Shop 10\/22 Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Caliber:<\/strong>          .22 Long Rifle<\/p>\n<p><strong>Action:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Semi-Auto<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barrel:<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a016.1 inches<\/p>\n<p><strong>OA Length:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a036.8 inches<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a04.2 pounds (empty)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stock: <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Gray Birch Chassis<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sights <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0None (Picatinny rail)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finish:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Hard-coat anodized black<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capacity:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a010<\/p>\n<p><strong>MSRP: <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0$1,129<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/ruger-expands-10-22-line-with-lightweight-models\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruger\u2019s 10\/22 line, which includes some of the most popular rimfire autoloaders ever produced, is expanding.
