Description
Picture this: you’re in the Missouri woods, the sun’s just up, and you need a tool that’s utterly dependable for small game, plinking, or introducing a new shooter. You need a rifle that’s simple, accurate, and won’t break the bank. That’s where this proven workhorse comes in.
The Ruger 10/22, .22 LR, 18.5″ Barrel, 10rd, Tapco Stock, Black, USED is a classic semi-automatic rimfire rifle, now fitted with a modern Tapco aftermarket stock for improved ergonomics. This used model offers legendary Ruger reliability and a massive aftermarket for customization at a highly accessible price point of $197.40. It’s a ready-to-go platform for training, hunting, and recreational shooting.
When it comes to a first rifle or a dedicated trainer, the Ruger 10/22 platform is the undisputed king for a reason. Its blowback action is famously tolerant of various .22 LR ammunition types, from standard velocity to high-velocity rounds. The 18.5-inch barrel provides a solid balance between maneuverability and sight radius, making it equally at home in dense brush or on a casual plinking range. This particular example weighs in at a manageable 5.5 lbs, making it easy to carry all day.
The key upgrade here is the Tapco Intrafuse stock. This synthetic stock offers a more contemporary feel compared to the classic hardwood, with textured gripping surfaces and an integrated sling swivel stud. It’s a drop-in ready modification that enhances the rifle’s utility without any gunsmithing required. The black finish is durable and low-maintenance, perfect for field use where a little wear just adds character.

Pros & Cons
The upside is significant. You get the foundational reliability of the Ruger 10/22 action—a system with decades of proven performance. The Tapco stock is a practical upgrade that improves handling. At this price, it represents serious value, freeing up budget for optics, ammunition, or additional magazines. Speaking of magazines, it’s compatible with the vast ecosystem of Ruger 10/22 aftermarket parts and magazines, including those from brands like Magpul and numerous others. Here’s the thing—being a used firearm, it may show cosmetic wear, which is purely aesthetic but worth acknowledging. The 10-round rotary magazine is reliable but slower to load than some aftermarket options.

It’s for the small game hunter who needs a quiet, economical, and effective tool for squirrels and rabbits. It’s a perfect companion for any shooter wanting to build muscle memory without the cost and recoil of centerfire rifles. This rifle ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your next outdoor adventure.
