The Ruger 10/22 is a semiautomatic rimfire rifle that is ideally suited for small game hunting, informal target shooting, plinking and action-shooting events. The Ruger 10/22 was one of the first rifles to be designed as an adult gun and not a “youth rifle” and was also one of the first modern rifles chambered in .22.
With its easy handling capabilities and inexpensive ammunition, the Ruger 10/22 is an ideal rifle for those just starting out or those who are searching for a low-priced rifle for target and plinking use. The popularity of the Ruger 10/22 has led it to become one of the most customizable firearms on the market.
