Who This Rifle Is For
This is the rifle for the Missouri hunter who needs a tool, not a trophy. It’s for the landowner managing pests around the barn or garden. It’s for the shooter who wants a low-cost, high-round-count training platform that mimics the manual of arms of larger rifles. When it comes to introducing a new shooter to firearms, the mild recoil and report of the .22LR make this an ideal first rifle. The camo and stainless build simply mean it can be that first rifle for years, surviving forgotten rain showers and dusty corners of the truck.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The stainless steel and camo finish is a practical combination for real-world use with minimal maintenance. The Ruger 10/22 platform has unparalleled aftermarket support for stocks, triggers, and optics—compatible with hundreds of brands like Magpul and countless rimfire-specific optics from Vortex and Burris. Its reliability is proven across decades. Look, it’s simply one of the most customizable and dependable .22 rifles ever made.
Cons: The factory stock is synthetic and functional but not adjustable. The included iron sights are basic, though they work. Some shooters may prefer a threaded barrel for a suppressor, which this model lacks. That said, for its core mission as a field rifle, these are minor trade-offs for the durability and price point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Mossy Oak pattern applied over the stainless steel, and will it wear off?
A: The camouflage is a durable finish applied directly to the metal and synthetic stock components. It’s designed for field use, but like any finish, it can show wear from heavy abrasion or improper cleaning chemicals. Normal handling and use will not degrade it.
Q: Can I mount a scope on this Ruger 10/22?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Ruger 10/22 scope base, which is widely available. This allows you to easily mount a rimfire scope or red dot for improved precision without any gunsmithing required.
Q: What’s the real advantage of the stainless steel in a .22?
A: It’s about neglect resistance. A blued barrel can show rust quickly in the humid Missouri climate if not wiped down after a morning hunt. The stainless steel barrel and receiver significantly reduce this worry, letting you focus on the task at hand rather than constant maintenance. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
