Description
The Ruger 10/22 Walnut Mannlicher 18.5″ SS Barrel Full Stock 10rd Mag is a classic .22 LR rimfire rifle that combines the legendary reliability of the Ruger 10/22 action with a distinctive full-length “Mannlicher” walnut stock and a durable stainless steel barrel. This configuration offers a timeless aesthetic, improved balance, and rugged corrosion resistance for a lifetime of use in the field. It’s a purpose-built tool for the practical shooter who values traditional craftsmanship and dependable performance.
When it comes to small game hunting or honing your marksmanship fundamentals, a rifle that points naturally and handles smoothly makes all the difference. The full-length walnut stock isn’t just for looks—it changes the rifle’s weight distribution, providing a steadier hold for offhand shots in dense Missouri timber. The cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel resists the elements, whether you’re dealing with morning dew in a dove field or storing it in a cabin safe. This rifle is drop-in ready for a quality rimfire scope using standard Ruger 10/22 bases, requiring no gunsmithing to get you on target.
Key Features
- Classic Mannlicher Stock: A single, continuous piece of American walnut encases the barrel to the muzzle, enhancing balance and providing a unique, traditional look.
- Stainless Steel Barrel: The 18.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel offers excellent accuracy and superior corrosion resistance for long-term durability in all conditions.
- Proven 10/22 Action: Features the same rugged, reliable rotary-magazine blowback action that has made the Ruger 10/22 the world’s most popular .22 auto-loader.
- Includes 10-Round Rotary Magazine: Comes with one reliable factory 10-round rotary magazine that sits flush with the stock for a clean profile.
- Integrated Scope Base: The receiver is drilled and tapped for easy mounting of scope rings, compatible with standard Ruger 10/22 bases from brands like Weaver or Leupold.
Specifications & Details
| Caliber | .22 Long Rifle |
| Barrel | 18.5″ Stainless Steel |
| Overall Length | 38.5″ |
| Weight | Approx. 5.75 lbs |
| Magazine Capacity | 10 Rounds (1 included) |
| Stock | American Walnut, Full Mannlicher Style |
Weighing in at approximately 5.75 pounds, this rifle carries its weight between your hands, making it feel lighter and more maneuverable than its specs suggest. The 18.5-inch barrel length is a sweet spot, providing a full sight radius for iron sights while keeping the overall length a manageable 38.5 inches for navigating brush or storing in a vehicle. That said, the real value is in the combination of materials and design you get for $375.99—a stainless steel barreled action in a genuine walnut stock is a package typically found at a much higher price point.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is built for the traditionalist and the practical woodsman. It’s for the hunter who appreciates the heft and pointability of a full stock while stalking squirrels or managing pests on the farm. It’s an ideal first rifle for a new shooter, thanks to the mild recoil and affordable ammunition of the .22 LR cartridge. Collectors and enthusiasts who value the Ruger 10/22 platform but want a standout, classic variation will also find this model particularly appealing. This firearm is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The Mannlicher stock provides exceptional balance and a distinctive, classic aesthetic. The stainless steel barrel ensures long-term durability with minimal maintenance. It leverages the unmatched aftermarket support and proven reliability of the Ruger 10/22 system. The package represents significant value for a rifle with these material qualities.
Cons: The full stock limits aftermarket barrel options if you later want to change configurations. The traditional look may not appeal to shooters seeking a purely tactical or modern sporting rifle aesthetic. Sling attachment can require specific swivels designed for full-stock rifles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use standard Ruger 10/22 25-round magazines with this model?
A: Yes, absolutely. The action is identical to other Ruger 10/22 rifles and is fully compatible with Ruger BX-1 10-round, BX-25 25-round, and most aftermarket magazines. The flush-fit 10-round rotary magazine is included for a classic look, but you have the option for higher capacity.
Q: Does the full stock make the rifle less accurate?
A: No, not inherently. The full-length stock can actually dampen barrel vibration and may improve harmonic consistency. Any accuracy difference from a standard sporter stock is negligible for most shooters; the cold hammer-forged barrel and quality of the crown are far greater factors in precision.
Q: Is the receiver drilled for a scope rail?
A: Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory. You will need to purchase a separate scope base or one-piece Picatinny rail, which are widely available from brands like UTG, Volquartsen, or Ruger itself. Mounting is straightforward—FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, but setup is simple.
