Here’s the thing—I’ve put thousands of rounds through various 10/22s over the years, and the core design just works. This model takes that reliability and wraps it in a practical, no-fuss hunting outfit. The camo isn’t just for show; it’s a functional finish that breaks up your outline in the field, and the synthetic stock won’t warp or swell with Missouri humidity. At just over five and a half pounds, it’s light enough for all-day carry without feeling toy-like. The 18.5-inch barrel length is, in my opinion, the sweet spot for this platform. It’s handy without being too short, and it still provides a solid sight plane for those crisp autumn mornings when the squirrels are active.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is the rifle you grab for small game hunting, introductory shooting, or just plain fun at the range. It’s perfect for the Missouri hunter who wants a dedicated, camouflaged .22 for squirrels and rabbits. It’s also an excellent first firearm for a new shooter due to its minimal recoil and legendary ease of use. Even seasoned collectors appreciate a good 10/22, and this camo model makes for a great “beater” truck gun or loaner for friends.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Incredible aftermarket support for stocks, triggers, and barrels. Legendary Ruger reliability. The camo stock is low-maintenance and functional. Ammunition is affordable, making practice a real possibility. It’s simply one of the most fun and practical firearms you can own.
Cons: The factory trigger can be a bit heavy and gritty—though it’s a known project for an upgrade. You only get one magazine in the box, so picking up a few extras is a smart move. The iron sights are basic, but that grooved receiver is begging for a optic.
Look, the beauty of the 10/22 platform is its modularity. This Tacstar-camo model is compatible with a vast universe of aftermarket parts from companies like Volquartsen, Kidd, and Magpul. Want to swap the stock later? It’s a simple process. Thinking about a threaded barrel for a suppressor? That’s an easy upgrade down the line. The core action is the canvas. This particular model, available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, starts you off with a great field-ready configuration right out of the gate. The price point of $357.19 puts it squarely in the value category for a ready-to-hunt package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor or muzzle device?
A: No, this specific model comes with a standard, non-threaded 18.5-inch barrel. If a threaded barrel is a must-have, the aftermarket has you covered with easy-to-install replacement barrels.
Q: Can I use 25-round magazines with this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The rifle accepts all standard Ruger BX-1 (10-round) and BX-25 (25-round) magazines, along with many aftermarket options. The 10-rounder it comes with is just the starting point.
Q: What kind of optic mount do I need?
A: You’ll need a standard .22 tip-off or rimfire scope mount that fits a 3/8″ dovetail rail, which is what’s machined into the top of the receiver. These are ubiquitous and inexpensive at any gun shop or online retailer.
