Description
Picture this: you’re miles down a Missouri trail, the sun’s coming up, and you need a tool that’s ready for small game, plinking, or survival training without weighing you down. You need a rifle that disappears into your pack and assembles in seconds. That’s the mission profile for the Tacsol X-Ring 22LR 16″ Barrel, Takedown, Magpul Backpacker Mossy Oak Bottomland Stock 10rd.
Answer Capsule: The Tacsol X-Ring is a precision .22LR takedown rifle built on a Ruger 10/22-compatible action. It features a 16-inch threaded TacSol barrel, a Magpul Backpacker stock in Mossy Oak Bottomland camo, and a 10-round rotary magazine. Designed for portability and accuracy, it’s a lightweight, packable rimfire system for hunters, backpackers, and trainers.
Here’s the thing—this isn’t just a modified Ruger. It’s a purpose-built system where every component is selected for performance and portability. The heart is TacSol’s own X-Ring receiver and match-grade 16-inch barrel, which is threaded 1/2″-28 for suppressors or muzzle devices. This barrel is cold hammer-forged for consistent accuracy, turning affordable .22LR ammo into tight groups. At just over 5 pounds unloaded, it carries all day without a second thought.
The Magpul Backpacker stock is the genius of the package. That Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern isn’t just for show—it breaks up your outline in wooded and marshy terrain common across Missouri. The stock itself stores three 10-round magazines in the buttstock, keeping your ammo secure and dry. The real trick is the takedown. A simple latch lets you separate the barrel/action from the stock in seconds. Both halves then stow compactly in a backpack, or the stock even floats your action in a waterproof compartment. It’s drop-in ready for any Ruger 10/22 aftermarket trigger that fits a standard receiver, giving you customization options down the line.
When it comes to practical use, this rifle shines. Zero it once, and the takedown design maintains zero when reassembled—a critical feature for a tool you need to trust. The 10-round rotary magazine is reliable and keeps the profile slim. The integrated storage means you head into the field with 40 rounds on board, ready to go. For a price of $1069.43, you’re getting a turn-key system where the compatibility, camo, and storage solutions are already solved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this rifle come with sights?
A: No, the TacSol X-Ring receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope rail (included), but it does not have iron sights. This is common for precision-oriented barrels, allowing you to mount your preferred optic—a low-power scope or red dot is ideal.
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
A: Yes. The 16-inch barrel comes with a 1/2″-28 thread pattern, ready for a rimfire suppressor or compensator. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, and NFA rules apply to suppressor ownership.
Q: Are other Ruger 10/22 magazines compatible?
A: Absolutely. It works with all standard Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines, including the BX-1 10-round and BX-25 25-round models, though the larger mags won’t fit in the stock’s internal storage.
If a lightweight, packable, and accurate .22LR system fits your needs, the TacSol X-Ring with the Magpul Backpacker stock is a definitive solution. See the full details on our site.
