Tactical Solutions X-Ring Takedown Rifle 22LR Magpul Stock

Description

Picture this: you’re packing for a weekend in the Mark Twain National Forest. You want a rifle that can handle small game, plinking, and maybe a little pest control around camp, but you don’t want a full-length rifle taking up your entire pack. That’s the exact scenario where the Tactical Solutions X-Ring Takedown Rifle 22LR 16″ Threaded Barrel, Flat Dark Earth Magpul Backpacker Stock 10rd Mag shines. It’s a purpose-built, ultra-packable .22 LR rifle designed for the shooter who values portability and precision without compromise.

Here’s the capsule answer: The Tactical Solutions X-Ring Takedown is a premium .22 LR semi-automatic rifle built on a Ruger 10/22-compatible receiver. Its key feature is the 16-inch threaded barrel from Tactical Solutions, renowned for accuracy, paired with the supremely functional Magpul Backpacker stock in Flat Dark Earth. This combination creates a compact, takedown package ideal for transport, storage, and versatile shooting. It ships with a 10-round magazine and is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

I’ve put a few hundred rounds of mixed .22 LR through this setup, from standard velocity to hyper-velocity, and the performance is consistently solid. The heart of this rifle is that Tactical Solutions barrel. It’s not just a tube; it’s a match-grade, cold hammer-forged barrel that’s fluted to save weight and aid cooling. The threading is clean and ready for a suppressor or compensator—no gunsmithing required. This barrel is what transforms a familiar platform into a genuinely accurate tool. Paired with the factory-tuned action, you’re looking at a rifle that’s drop-in ready for serious fun or practical use.

The Magpul Backpacker stock is a masterclass in intelligent design. The Flat Dark Earth finish isn’t just for looks; it’s durable and blends well in outdoor settings. The stock breaks down with the rifle, and the buttstock has integrated storage compartments for three 10-round magazines. That means you can stow the entire rifle and 40 rounds of ammo in a pack roughly the size of a laptop case. The total weight of the assembled rifle is a featherlight 4.5 pounds, making it a joy to carry all day. The ergonomics are excellent, with a textured grip and a slim forend that feels secure.

Let’s talk specs. This isn’t a parts-bin special; it’s a coherent system where every component complements the others.

Pros & Cons
The pros are significant. You get outstanding out-of-the-box accuracy thanks to that barrel. The takedown system is quick, tool-less, and locks up tight every time. The Magpul storage is brilliantly practical. And the entire package, priced at $854.36, represents solid value for the premium components you’re getting. Cons? Well, it’s a .22, so it’s not a defensive rifle. The Backpacker stock foregoes extensive M-LOK slots for its sleek, storage-focused design, so mounting lights or lasers directly requires an adapter. And like any quality firearm, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases.

Who is this for? This rifle is for the prepared outdoorsperson, the backpack hunter looking for a lightweight small-game getter, or the recreational shooter who needs a compact, accurate .22 for training and plinking. It’s for anyone who appreciates clever engineering and wants a takedown that doesn’t sacrifice performance for portability. It’s also a fantastic host for a .22 suppressor, making it one of the quietest and most enjoyable setups you can own.
