Ruger 10/22 Carbine 1256 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The Ruger® 10/22® is one of the most popular, and widely used rimfire rifles in the US. And justifiably so—the 10/22 has had a solid reputation for reliability and accuracy for over 50 years, making it a favorite for target shooting, plinking, and small game hunting. This 10/22 Carbine features a rugged synthetic stock that is impervious to harsh weather, and a corrosion resistant stainless steel barrel that facilitates maintenance—attributes ideally suited for rugged outdoor use and survival situations. The 10/22 utilizes a blowback semi-auto action, and a 10-shot rotary magazine, both of which are legendary for reliability. The hammer-forged barrel locks into the receiver by a unique 2-screw, V-block system that provides unsurpassed accuracy for mass-produced rimfire rifles. The Carbine model comes with a fine, gold bead front sight and an adjustable, folding rear sight. The included scope base screws onto the drilled and tapped receiver, and is compatible with both Weaver®-style and 3/8" tip-off scope rings. An extended magazine release allows for rapid reloading. The short and light 10/22 Carbine handles incredibly well by adult and youth shooters alike. The popularity of the Ruger 10/22 has led to a myriad of after-market 10/22 accessories, making it one of the most customizable firearms ever made. The Ruger 10/22 Carbine with synthetic stock and stainless steel barrel is an indispensible, go-to firearm for any American serious about preparedness, self-defense, or hunting. Made in USA.

Fun to take to the range with the expanded 30 round mag. Very accurate and easy to operate. Sights are spot on and it's hard to miss. Great Rugger product bought at my favorite gun retailer.

Ruger 22LR SS/SYN 1256 A bit disappointed in this rifle. I really like the platform, look and feel of it but mine is awful finicky about what it will shoot reliably. Ejection issues have plagued my 10/22 with all except CCI ammo. I understand, though, tha

Cheap product for cheap price. Really lousy trigger. Very long, rough pull. Bolt jams and bolt release is almost impossible to work. Going to sell or donate it and buy the Magnum Research Magnumlite I should have bought in the first place.

As with many other items there has been a decline in quality in these past years with everthing going to plastic type materials. Stock doesn't come with swivel studs and feels cheap. I will have to spend more to upgrade to something that doesn't feel like

Put this rifle on layaway after I saw what an insanely low price it had on it. When I received it, I saw that it was a 50th anniversary model. Quite a nice surprise, I must say. Delivered quickly, as always. Shoots great, just like you'd expect a Ruger to

This is listed as a Large Frame Blackhawk (not the small frame model) when you match up the UPC, so +P would be fine here. But the UPC also says this model has a 7.5" barrel. So Buds may have made a mistake on the barrel length.
