Ruger 10/22 Viridian EON 3-9×40 Scope Combo .22LR

Description

Picture this: you’re at the local range, watching someone struggle to zero a mismatched scope on a rimfire rifle. They’re burning through ammo and patience. Meanwhile, you pull out a ready-to-roll package that’s already a proven system. That’s the practical appeal of a well-configured combo. The Ruger 10/22 Viridian EON 3-9×40 Scope Combo 22LR, Blued, Wood is exactly that—a value-focused package that gets you from the box to the bench without the guesswork and extra cost of piecing it together yourself.

Answer Capsule: The Ruger 10/22 Viridian EON Combo is a complete rimfire rifle package. It pairs the iconic, reliable Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic .22LR rifle with a blued finish and classic wood stock, pre-mounted with a Viridian EON 3-9x40mm riflescope. This ready-to-shoot combo offers significant savings over buying the rifle and optic separately, providing an immediate solution for plinking, small game hunting, and training.

Let’s break down why this combo makes so much sense for the budget-conscious shooter. First, you’re getting the undisputed king of .22LR autoloaders. The Ruger 10/22’s action is legendary for its reliability and aftermarket support. The blued steel barrel and receiver offer classic good looks and corrosion resistance, while the wood stock provides a solid, traditional feel. At a total package price of $357.10, you’re essentially getting a quality scope for a fraction of what you’d pay à la carte. That’s serious bang-for-your-buck.

The Viridian EON 3-9x40mm scope is the key component that elevates this from a bare rifle to a functional system. A 3-9x variable magnification is the sweet spot for a .22LR. You can dial it down to 3x for close-range plinking or up to 9x for precise shots on squirrels or targets at 50-100 yards. The 40mm objective lens gathers ample light for dawn or dusk hunting. It comes pre-mounted and, in most cases, fits out of the box with the included Ruger scope base—no gunsmithing required to get started. The rifle itself feeds from a reliable 10-round rotary magazine, a design that minimizes feeding issues common in other .22 magazines.

Here’s the thing—when you buy separately, you’re looking at roughly $300 for the rifle, another $80-$150 for a comparable scope, and maybe $30 for rings and a base. This combo sidesteps that hassle and cost. The wood stock is a practical tradeoff; it’s heavier and more susceptible to moisture than synthetic, but it offers better balance and a timeless aesthetic that many shooters prefer. The entire package, ready to go, ships to Missouri and compliant US states through our network. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for the firearm purchase.

Pros & Cons
The major pro is undeniable value. You save money and time. The Ruger 10/22 platform is endlessly customizable; you can later upgrade the trigger, stock, or barrel using parts from brands like Volquartsen or Magpul if you choose. The combo is immediately functional for a wide range of .22LR tasks. On the con side, the included Viridian scope is a functional entry-level optic—it’s not a high-end glass like a Vortex or Leupold, but it’s perfectly suited to the rifle’s capabilities. The wood stock requires more care than synthetic in humid conditions.

Who is this for? This combo is ideal for first-time gun owners, parents looking for a trainer rifle for a new shooter, or any Missouri hunter needing a dependable small game rifle that’s ready for opening day. It’s also a perfect “fun gun” for experienced shooters who want a low-cost, low-recoil plinker without the assembly headache. It’s a workhorse, not a showpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the scope already sighted in?

A: No, the scope is mounted and attached, but you will need to bore-sight and then zero the rifle at your preferred distance (typically 25 or 50 yards) with your chosen ammunition. This is a standard process for any new rifle-and-scope setup.

Q: Can I use higher-capacity magazines with this rifle?

A: Absolutely. The Ruger 10/22 has massive aftermarket support. It is compatible with Ruger BX-25 25-round magazines and many other aftermarket options from companies like Tactical Innovations. The rifle ships with one 10-round rotary magazine.

Q: Is this suitable for hunting in Missouri?

A: Yes, the .22LR caliber is a classic and ethical choice for Missouri squirrel and rabbit hunting within its effective range. The 3-9x40mm scope provides more than enough magnification for clear shots in wooded areas. Always check current Missouri Department of Conservation regulations for specific season dates and legal methods.
