The Ruger 10/22 Compact is a smaller, more maneuverable version of the legendary 10/22, designed for shooters who prefer a lightweight and easy-to-handle rimfire rifle. Built with the same tried and true Ruger design that has made the 10/22 a favorite for over half a century, the Compact model offers consistent and reliable performance. It features a detachable 10-round rotary magazine with a unique rotor that ensures reliable feeding by separating cartridges. The cold hammer-forged barrel is securely locked into the receiver using Ruger’s innovative two-screw V-block system, enhancing accuracy and stability. The Ruger 10/22 Compact also includes a positive, push-button, cross-bolt manual safety for secure operation, along with a combination scope base adapter that is compatible with both Weaver-style and .22 tip-off scope mounts. The rifle's heat-stabilized, glass-filled polymer trigger housing assembly is built from high-tech materials, offering improved durability and the ability to withstand harsh elements. The Compact’s receiver and stock are designed with classic lines that are both functional and attractive, making it a top choice for those seeking a reliable, high-quality .22 rifle in a smaller, more portable package.
