Ruger maintains its position as a leading manufacturer of robust, reliable firearms within the commercial sporting market. KFF Defense assesses the 10/22 Takedown as a highly functional .22 LR platform, engineered for both utility and portability, consistent with Ruger’s reputation for US-manufactured precision.
Key Features
Takedown Mechanism
The 10/22 Takedown rifle features a straightforward, positive lockup system that permits rapid separation of the barrel assembly from the receiver. This design facilitates compact storage and discreet transport without compromising the rifle’s zero upon reassembly, integrating a robust locking interface for consistent barrel-to-receiver alignment.
Receiver Construction
The heat-stabilized, glass-filled polymer trigger housing assembly is precision-machined to maintain manufacturing tolerances, ensuring reliable, jam-free operation. This assembly is designed for ease of maintenance and resistance to environmental factors. The rifle utilizes a combination of a blued alloy steel receiver and a synthetic stock, optimizing both durability and weight characteristics.
Barrel Profile
This model incorporates an 18.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel. Cold hammer forging generates precise rifling and concentricity, contributing to consistent ballistic performance and extended barrel life. The barrel is threaded to 1/2″-28, permitting the direct integration of muzzle devices or sound suppressors.
Rotary Magazine System
The rifle is supplied with Ruger’s proprietary BX-1 10-round rotary magazine. This system is engineered for smooth, reliable feeding, maintaining the cartridge’s integrity and positioning for consistent chambering. The compact design of the magazine minimizes protrusion below the stock line.
Sights and Optic Integration
The 10/22 Takedown comes equipped with a protected blade front sight and an adjustable ghost ring rear sight. Additionally, the receiver is factory-drilled and tapped, supplied with a Picatinny-style scope base adapter to facilitate direct optic mounting, thereby expanding the rifle’s operational versatility.
Stock Design
The synthetic stock is dimensionally stable and resistant to adverse weather conditions and impacts. This specific model features a durable camouflage finish, providing visual disruption in varied environments. The stock includes an ergonomic grip and buttpad for enhanced shooter interface and recoil mitigation.
