The rifle ships with a factory-installed sling swivel stud and utilizes Ruger’s proprietary 10-round rotary magazine, which is famously reliable and gentle on ammunition. The total weight comes in at a manageable 5 pounds, making it easy to carry all day. At $236.87, this represents one of the most accessible entry points into a platform you can truly make your own. Here’s the thing—while the finish is cosmetic, it adds a layer of personality and minor abrasion resistance to the synthetic stock without the cost of a full custom cerakote job.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is perfect for the budget-minded shooter who wants a do-it-all .22. It’s ideal for new owners seeking a first firearm, parents teaching marksmanship fundamentals, or seasoned shooters wanting a low-cost training analog. Small game hunters and backyard plinkers will get countless rounds of affordable fun. Because of its massive aftermarket, it’s also a fantastic base for a custom project—you can easily swap stocks, barrels, or triggers later. The MultiCam finish simply gives you a more modern starting point than plain black.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Unbeatable value for a proven platform. The Ruger 10/22 action is famously reliable and easy to maintain. The MultiCam finish offers a unique look in this price bracket. Aftermarket support is unparalleled—you can find parts anywhere. It’s lightweight and points naturally. Low recoil and cheap ammo make for inexpensive practice.
Cons: The included sights are basic, and many users eventually upgrade to optics. The factory trigger is functional but not exceptional. The MultiCam is a dip, not a paint, so it can wear over heavy use. You’ll probably want to buy more magazines, as the rotary design, while great, isn’t as common as box mags.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of scope mount does this use?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Ruger 10/22 scope base, which uses a common 3/8″ dovetail or can accept an easy-to-install Picatinny rail adapter. No gunsmithing required for most popular optic mounts.
Q: Are aftermarket stocks and barrels easy to install?
A: Absolutely. The Ruger 10/22 is famously modular. Stocks from companies like Magpul (Hunter X-22), Hogue, or Victor Company are typically drop-in ready. Barrels also swap easily with a simple wrench, letting you customize weight and length.
Q: Is the finish durable?
A: The MultiCam hydro-dip is durable under normal use but is a cosmetic layer over the synthetic stock. It will resist scratches better than plain plastic but isn’t as tough as a professional cerakote. For a hunting or plinking rifle, it holds up well, especially at this price point of $236.87.
Final Verdict & Value
Look, the Ruger 10/22 in any configuration is a smart buy. This MultiCam version gives you that legendary reliability and customization potential with a tactical flair that usually costs more. You’re getting a proven system that’s perfect for learning, teaching, or just burning through bricks of .22 LR on a weekend. It’s a low-risk, high-reward purchase that holds its value. The rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, requiring an FFL transfer for firearm purchases. If you want a versatile .22 that won’t break the bank and offers a path to endless tinkering, this is it.
