Apparently, it’s possible to improve the legendary 10/22, even with more than 10 million produced over the past 61 years. Ruger has just announced enhancements to its iconic rimfire rifle platform, bringing upgraded components previously seen only on select models to a broader range of Standard 10/22 configurations. Since its introduction in 1964, the Ruger 10/22 has been widely regarded as a benchmark in semi‑automatic rimfire rifles, known for reliability, aftermarket support, and adaptability. The latest updates are designed to make the platform even more appealing to shooters looking for a ready‑to‑shoot package straight from the factory.
