At a total length of just over 37 inches, this rifle balances easy handling for younger shooters with enough sight radius for precise iron sight work. The 10-round rotary magazine is a hallmark of the 10/22 system, promoting reliable feeding that box magazines in other .22s can struggle to match. Here’s the thing—when it comes to a first rifle or a dedicated training tool, you need simplicity and durability. The synthetic stock delivers exactly that, shrugging off scrapes against a truck seat or the occasional rain shower during a squirrel hunt.
Who This Rifle Is For
This Ruger 10/22-RBP is for the Missouri hunter heading out for squirrels or rabbits, where a lightweight, quiet rifle is essential. It’s for the parent teaching firearm fundamentals—safety, sight alignment, trigger control—without the cost or recoil of a centerfire round. It’s for the serious shooter who wants a low-cost, high-round-count platform for drills. It even serves as a capable, low-perimeter noise option for pest control around the homestead. The price point of $268.55 makes it an accessible entry into responsible firearm ownership.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unmatched aftermarket support for stocks, triggers, and barrels. Incredibly reliable with quality ammunition. The synthetic stock is virtually maintenance-free. Lightweight and easy to carry all day. Becomes even more versatile with affordable upgrades from brands like Magpul or Volquartsen. No gunsmithing required for most common customizations.
Cons: The basic synthetic stock lacks adjustable length of pull. Iron sights are functional but many users immediately add an optic. The trigger pull from the factory is serviceable but not match-grade—a common first upgrade. It’s a .22 LR, so its role is inherently limited compared to a centerfire rifle for defense.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this rifle ready for a scope?
A: Yes. The receiver is drilled, tapped, and includes a 3/8″ dovetail scope base adapter. You can mount a rimfire scope or red dot immediately. Popular optic choices include the Vortex Crossfire II Rimfire or a basic Bushnell TRS-25 red dot.
Q: What kind of ammunition does it use?
A: It chambers the ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridge. For best reliability, especially during the break-in period, use standard or high-velocity copper-plated round nose ammunition. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states, but always check local regulations on ammunition purchases.
Q: Can I use higher-capacity magazines?
A: Absolutely. The rifle accepts the vast ecosystem of Ruger 10/22 magazines. You can use Ruger BX-25 25-round magazines or reliable aftermarket options from brands like Tactical Innovations. Always function-test any magazine with your specific rifle.
