The X-22 Backpacker-equipped model of the Ruger 10/22 Takedown features a stainless-steel receiver and barrel, along with adjustable fiber-optic sights.

Taking a page from the Ruger 22/45 Lite, the 10/22 Takedown Lite’s aluminum alloy barrel sleeve is ventilated, resulting in the lightest weight 10/22 target barrel yet from Ruger.

With more than 5 million produced since 1964, Sturm, Ruger & Co.’s blowback-operated semi-automatic 10/22 rimfire rifle is one of the world’s most successful commercial firearms.
