Description
The Ruger 10/22 Target 22 LR, 16″ Threaded Barrel, Satin Blued Finish, Red and Black Laminate Thumbhole Stock, 10Rd Mag is a precision-configured .22 LR rifle built for accuracy. It combines a heavy, threaded 16-inch barrel with a stable laminate thumbhole stock and Ruger’s legendary 10/22 action, creating a platform designed for tight groups at the range, small game hunting, or suppressor-ready plinking. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Key Features
- Target-Grade Barrel: A 16-inch cold hammer-forged bull barrel provides a rigid, vibration-dampening platform for consistent shot placement. The 1/2″-28 threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or muzzle devices without gunsmithing required.
- Stable Thumbhole Stock: The red and black laminate stock isn’t just for looks—the thumbhole design promotes a repeatable, ergonomic cheek weld and a natural, controlled grip for off-hand or benchrest shooting.
- Enhanced Trigger: Features Ruger’s BX trigger, offering a cleaner, lighter pull than the standard 10/22 unit for improved control over the break.
- Suppressor-Ready: The factory-threaded barrel means you can attach a .22 caliber suppressor like a SilencerCo Sparrow or Dead Air Mask directly, turning this rifle into a backyard-friendly tack-driver.
- Proven Reliability: Built on the ultra-dependable 10/22 rotary magazine system, it feeds smoothly from the included 10-round magazine and is compatible with a vast array of aftermarket 10/22 upgrades.

That said, the 6.8-pound weight is a feature, not a bug—it’s mass that soaks up recoil (minimal as it is) and steadies your aim. When it comes to ringing steel at 100 yards or taking a squirrel cleanly from a rested position, that stability translates directly to confidence. The satin blued finish on the barrel and receiver resists the elements while maintaining a classic look against the modern laminate. At $589.46, this rifle sits in a sweet spot between a basic plinker and a full-custom benchrest gun.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the shooter who values precision over volume of fire. It’s for the hunter who demands a first-shot hit on small game. It’s for the new shooter learning fundamentals without flinch-inducing recoil, or the seasoned marksman wanting a low-cost, high-round-count practice tool. If your scenario involves a deliberate shot from a stable position, this configuration is built for it. The threaded barrel adds a key dimension of versatility—attach a can and you have an incredibly quiet, neighborhood-friendly practice system.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Outstanding out-of-the-box accuracy potential. The thumbhole stock and heavy barrel make it inherently steady. Factory threading is a major value-add. Uses the vast 10/22 aftermarket for endless customization. Ruger’s legendary durability and customer service back it up.
Cons: The weight makes it less ideal for long carries or quick off-hand snap shooting. The laminate thumbhole stock is a specific ergonomic that may not fit every shooter perfectly. It’s a specialized tool within the 10/22 family—you wouldn’t choose this model for a lightweight backpacking rifle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
A: Yes. The barrel comes from the factory with 1/2″-28 threads, the standard for .22 LR muzzle devices and suppressors. It’s ready for a direct thread-on attachment, though always check local laws regarding suppressor ownership and use.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality match-grade ammunition, many shooters report sub-MOA or 1-inch groups at 50 yards from a benchrest. The rigid barrel, stable stock, and improved BX trigger are all designed to minimize variables and maximize consistency. Your results will depend heavily on ammo selection and shooter skill.
Q: Are other 10/22 magazines compatible?
A: Absolutely. It accepts all standard Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines, including the 10-round model it comes with, as well as many aftermarket options. For high-capacity feeding, it’s compatible with reliable brands like Ruger BX-25 25-round magazines. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases upon delivery.
