Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. is proud to announce the release of a new lightweight 10/22 rifle, chambered in .22 LR. This rifle is the lightest in Ruger’s 10/22 lineup, weighing only 3.5 lbs. It features a 16.1″ cold hammer-forged barrel with a carbon fiber sleeve. The tensioned stainless steel barrel is designed to reduce weight and vibration while providing increased rigidity. The barrel is threaded 1/2″-28 to accommodate muzzle devices – great for suppressors, you know!
