#10-22

Competitive shooting can be a fun and effective way to improve your shooting skills. Specifically, the Steel Challenge Competition can be a great way to get your foot in the door in the competitive world. Other competitions can have a large set of complex rules, expensive equipment requirements and hours upon hours of dedication and training to even start making the experience rewarding.

Our friend Sebastian Unger (aka homegunsmithunger), inventor of the innovative “ Topside Takedown 10/22 Receiver” has been working hard to find a manufacturing partner for his unique twist on a classic firearm design. In the middle of his prototyping phase, he has designed something equally unique: a 3D Printed Receiver for Ruger 10/22 style rimfire rifles.

The deal article of the week is here boys and girls. I can hear your wallets crying already.

Victor Company has been around since 2010.  In that time they have been big supporters of precision rifle events, sponsoring numerous Snipers Hide Cups and Competition Dynamics events.  The owner, Michael Victor, is himself an avid long-range shooter and competitor.  So it makes sense that the products coming out of Victor Company are designed to meet a need for the end-user not just make a buck.

Many of us may have forgotten about Ruger’s Collector’s Series because a new model does not come out very often. The last model to have been released to the public was back on June 19th, 2015. Each new model within this line-up of the Collector’s Series is meant to be distinctive and truly unique from their expansive current iterations of 10/22 rifles. The 3rd model from Ruger’s Collector’s Series is called Man’s Best Friend commemorating the many dogs, hunting partners, and companions in our lives. The list of components, specifications, and special additional pieces you receive with this collectible rifle can be read below, as presented by Ruger.

This is the second year that us folks in the firearm industry are celebrating October 22nd (10/22) as “ Ruger Day!” by paying homage to the iconic rimfire rifle we all love. On February 23rd (02/23) we honor the .223 Rem cartridge. On March 8th (03/08) we recognize the .308 Win cartridge. So on October 22nd (10/22) it is now becoming a tradition to declare our love for the Ruger 10/22 rifle.

Ruger‘s most famous firearm in their storied line-up is without a doubt the 10/22. They offer an extensive line of nearly every stock, barrel contour and finish imaginable. The Ruger 10/22 is so popular that multiple high-end, custom shops have sprung up that tailor specifically to this rifle. Now, in a somewhat surprising move Ruger is offering a near custom shop quality rimfire rifle of their own. The new 10/22 Target Lite has the appearance straight out of a rimfire shooter’s dream.

Announced with little fanfare at the NRA Annual Exposition 2016, Magpul has announced that that Hunter X-22 stock is now shipping to dealers and available for direct retail order. The new stock adapts Magpul’s Hunter stock geometry for the Ruger 10/22 take-down to create an utterly fantastic system.

Magpul showed off their Hunter X-22 stock for the Ruger 10/22 earlier this year, well now they’re finally available. The Hunter X-22 is made in the USA and retails for $139.95, currently it’s only available in black or Flat Dark Earth.
