Ruger 10/22 Compact .22 LR Semi-Auto Rifle, 16.1 in Tapered Blued Barrel, Fiber-Optic Sights, 10+1, 2012
The Ruger 10/22 Compact offers a handy, scaled-down take on Ruger's classic rimfire carbine.

It comes with fiber-optic iron sights for quick target acquisition and an installed combination scope base for flexible optic mounting. The bore is clean and shiny, and the rifle retains the proven 10/22 rotary magazine system.

The Compact configuration pairs a 16.1-inch tapered blued barrel with a shorter 13.0-inch length of pull for a carbine that shoulders easily. The smooth hardwood stock has a straight comb with no checkering and is finished with a Ruger eagle buttplate. The fore-end is cleanly profiled without a barrel band.
Its aluminum-alloy receiver uses Ruger's two-screw V-block system to secure the barrel. The receiver wears a black finish that complements the blued barrel. A durable polymer trigger housing keeps weight down while maintaining the 10/22's familiar controls.
Sighting is straightforward and bright with a fiber-optic front ramp and a barrel-mounted adjustable rear sight featuring a fiber-optic insert. For optics, the rifle includes an installed combination scope base that accepts both cross-slot rings and 3/8-inch tip-off rings.
Operation is the classic 10/22 semi-automatic blowback system with a cross-bolt manual safety. Capacity is 10+1 using the included detachable 10/22-pattern rotary magazine.
Manufactured in 2012, this Compact model blends the time-tested 10/22 action with easy-handling dimensions and user-friendly sights, making it a practical .22 LR carbine ready for range or field use.
