Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce enhancements to the 10/22® rifle line. First introduced in 1964, the 10/22 has become the benchmark in the semi-automatic rimfire rifle market, trusted by generations for its proven performance, legendary action and renowned, reliable rotary magazine. With more than 10 million produced over the past 61 years, the 10/22 has inspired a loyal following and remains the benchmark for rimfire excellence.

Based on extensive consumer feedback, Ruger has upgraded the 10/22 rifle line with enhanced features previously found only in select configurations. These improvements are designed to deliver even greater performance. This first round of models features a BX-Trigger®, lightweight stock, match bolt release, and a receiver that incorporates a rear cleaning port.

The BX-Trigger has a light, crisp 2.5-3 pound trigger pull weight with minimal overtravel and a positive reset. The lightweight stock features M-LOK® slots at the 6 o’clock position along with textured panels on the pistol grip and forend. Other features include a match bolt lock that allows the user to easily advance the bolt with a quick pull and release of the cocking handle, and a receiver with a rear cleaning port that provides access to the barrel from the rear of the receiver for ease of cleaning.
