Description
Picture this: you’re three miles down a Missouri trail, the sun’s coming up, and you spot a squirrel moving through the timber. You need a rifle that’s ready—not one that’s awkwardly strapped to your pack. The Ruger 10/22 Take Down 22LR 16″ SS Barrel, KRYPEK Camo, Back Pack Case, 10 Rd Mag is the solution. It’s a legendary .22 LR semi-auto rifle engineered to separate into two halves for compact transport, featuring a stainless steel barrel, a tactical KRYPTEK camo stock, and a custom backpack for true grab-and-go utility. At $357.28, it delivers proven performance in a uniquely portable package.
Here’s the thing—this isn’t just a plinker. It’s a system. The core is the iconic Ruger 10/22 action, renowned for its reliability. The 16.12-inch stainless steel barrel resists corrosion and maintains accuracy, while the patented takedown mechanism lets you separate the barrel/forend assembly from the receiver/stock with a simple twist. It reassembles quickly and maintains zero, so you’re not fiddling with re-sighting every time you use it. The whole package, including the rifle and case, weighs in at a manageable 8.5 lbs loaded, making it a practical choice for extended carries.
The KRYPTEK Highlander camo pattern isn’t just for show. It breaks up your outline in mixed terrain, from leafy river bottoms to sun-dappled hardwood ridges. The included custom backpack case is the real workhorse. It stows the disassembled rifle, magazines, and a box of ammo in a low-profile package that looks like any other daypack. No gunsmithing required—it fits out of the box and is ready for your next adventure. This configuration ships to Missouri and compliant US states, offering a ready-made kit for the mobile shooter.

Pros: Unmatched portability with the takedown design and dedicated pack. Stainless steel construction offers durability in humid environments. The Ruger 10/22 platform has massive aftermarket support for triggers, stocks, and optics. Camo finish provides practical field concealment. It’s a supremely versatile tool for training, pest control, or small game.
Cons: As a .22 LR, it’s not a defensive firearm. The included rotary magazine is reliable but slower to reload than some aftermarket options. The backpack, while functional, is a basic soft case without heavy internal padding.

A: Yes. Ruger’s patented takedown system is designed to return to zero reliably. Consistent reassembly technique is key, but users report minimal to no point-of-impact shift.
Q: Is the backpack case high quality?
A: It’s a practical, included case designed specifically for this rifle. It’s made of durable polyester, has backpack straps, and internal compartments for the rifle halves and magazines. It’s not a heavily-padded hard case, but it’s perfect for field transport and storage.
Q: Can I add a scope or optic to this model?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard scope base, and the barrel features an integral Picatinny rail for forward-mounted optics. You can use popular rimfire scopes from brands like Vortex, Leupold, or Bushnell.
