Ruger 10/22 Takedown Stainless .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle — First-Year 2012 Production, 18.5" Barrel, Case & 3 Mags
The Ruger 10/22 Takedown pairs the trusted 10/22 action with a quarter-turn takedown joint that separates the barrel assembly from the receiver in seconds and returns to zero when reassembled. This first-year 2012 example features an 18.5" tapered stainless barrel, a matte stainless receiver, and a lightweight black polymer stock. At just 4.6 lb and 37" overall, it offers easy packing, corrosion-resistant construction, and compatibility with all Ruger 10/22 magazines.

- Ruger 10/22 Takedown nylon soft case with red Ruger phoenix logo

The takedown mechanism is tool-less: a simple quarter turn and pull separates the barrel/forend from the receiver/stock, making transport and storage straightforward.
Stainless steel barrel and receiver resist rust, while the glass-filled polymer stock adds durability without weight. Integral sling studs and molded checkering are built in for field readiness.
The gold-bead blade front sight and folding adjustable rear sight provide clear iron-sight alignment, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped with a factory scope base installed for optics.
With its 2012 serial prefix 821, this rifle represents the first production year of the 10/22 Takedown. It accepts every standard Ruger 10/22 magazine, and three 10-round BX-1 mags are included.
