The TALO distributor-exclusive Gator Edition showcases Altamont laser work that adds character without altering the classic 10/22 handling. The laminated hardwood stock displays a multicolor scheme (greens/charcoal/brown) with an inlaid Ruger phoenix medallion, right-hand cheek swell, and sling swivel studs. The engraving theme presents alligator scales at the butt with "teeth" along the fore-end.
Ruger’s 18.5 in blued steel barrel features a non-threaded muzzle with a recessed crown. The rifle uses a semi-automatic blowback action with a cross-bolt safety and the detachable Ruger rotary magazine system for a 10+1 capacity. Iron sights include a ramped front sight with brass bead and a folding leaf rear sight. Length of pull measures 13.75 in.
The black-finished alloy receiver is drilled and tapped with four plugged holes; the "RUGER • NEWPORT • NH • USA" and "10/22 • 22 LR" rollmarks appear on the barrel, while the receiver bears the serial number. The receiver’s configuration supports the included factory combination scope base and screws, giving the buyer flexibility for future setup if desired.
Manufactured in 2023 in the USA, this example remains clean and well-kept. The bright, sharp-rifled bore and the crisp factory engraving make it a strong representation of the Gator Edition run, with the personalized stock inscription clearly noted for transparency.
