Built on a solid reputation for reliability and accuracy, the Ruger 10/22 Takedown Semi-Auto Rimfire Rifle is one of the most popular, and widely used rimfire rifles in the US. The 10/22 Takedown Model is well suited for having a survival gun stowed in a vehicle, boat, or plane, or at a cabin or home. It makes an easy-to-carry camp gun, perfect for backpacking and canoe trips. The Takedown splits into 2 subassemblies right in front of the receiver by simply pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies, and pulling them apart—no tools are needed! To ensure consistent accuracy, the 10/22 Takedown has an adjustment knob to eliminate play between the halves. After reassembly, the firearm returns to zero, even when receiver-mounted optics are used. Its 2-piece carbine-style synthetic stock features a curved, checkered butt that stays put on the shoulder and textured surfaces on the pistol grip and fore-end to provide a solid hold in harsh weather. The barrel is made of corrosion resistant stainless steel.
