Description
You’re looking for a .22LR rifle that feels like a serious tool, not a toy, but you don’t want to spend centerfire money. You want something reliable for plinking, small game, or even rimfire competition that’s accurate, lightweight, and ready to go without a pile of aftermarket parts. That’s the exact niche the Tactical Solutions X-Ring 10/22, 22LR, 16.5″, 10rd, Magpul Stock fills—it’s a premium, factory-built upgrade of the classic Ruger 10/22 platform designed for serious shooters on a practical budget.
The Tactical Solutions X-Ring 10/22 is a high-performance, semi-automatic rimfire rifle built on the legendary Ruger 10/22 action. It features a precision 16.5-inch aluminum barrel from Tactical Solutions, a fully adjustable Magpul Hunter X-22 stock, and comes ready to shoot with improved accuracy and ergonomics right out of the box. This rifle is designed for shooters who want a dependable, upgrade-ready .22LR without the hassle of custom gunsmithing.
Let’s break down where your money goes. The heart of this build is the Tactical Solutions X-Ring barrel. It’s a lightweight, fluted aluminum sleeve with a steel liner, which shaves off significant weight compared to a standard bull barrel while maintaining excellent accuracy and rapid cooling. You get the stability of a heavier profile without the front-end heft, making it a dream to carry on a woods walk. At just over 16 inches, it’s a handy length that balances well and stays maneuverable.
The Magpul Hunter X-22 stock is where the value proposition gets real. Instead of buying a basic 10/22 and immediately swapping the stock, this rifle comes with one of the most popular aftermarket options already installed. It offers length-of-pull and comb height adjustments, multiple sling attachment points, and integrated M-LOK slots for lights or bipods. The stock alone is a $150+ value, and it’s drop-in ready here, saving you time and additional gunsmithing fees. The total package weight comes in around 5.5 pounds, making it easy to handle for shooters of all sizes.
Under the hood, you’re getting a tuned Ruger 10/22 action known for reliability. It feeds from standard Ruger 10-round rotary magazines (included), which are famously reliable, and it’s compatible with the vast universe of 10/22 triggers, bolts, and accessories from brands like Volquartsen, Kidd, and Timney. That said, the factory trigger is more than serviceable for most uses, letting you spend your budget on ammo instead of immediate upgrades. The rifle ships with one 10-round magazine, a practical choice for many states and hunting regulations.
| Caliber | .22 Long Rifle |
| Barrel Length | 16.5″ |

Pros: Excellent out-of-the-box accuracy potential; huge weight savings from the aluminum barrel; includes a premium, adjustable Magpul stock; maintains full compatibility with the massive 10/22 aftermarket; a smarter financial move than piecing together similar parts individually.
Cons: At $809.24, it’s a significant step up from a base-model 10/22; you’re paying for the enhanced barrel and stock, so if you only want a basic plinker, this is overkill; the aluminum barrel can show wear more easily than steel if not cared for.
So who is this rifle for? It’s perfect for the budget-conscious shooter who values quality but hates waste. It’s for the hunter who wants a lightweight, accurate squirrel rifle that can also serve as a training analog for a larger caliber. It’s for the rimfire competitor or precision plinker who needs a reliable, adjustable platform but doesn’t want to build a $1,500 custom gun from scratch. If you were going to buy a 10/22 and immediately replace the barrel and stock anyway, this package from Tactical Solutions often comes out cheaper.
