Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle

The Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle represents a practical evolution of the most popular rimfire platform ever built. By combining the legendary reliability and customization of the standard 10/22 with a precision-engineered takedown system, this model offers shooters a packable, versatile rifle that maintains zero after repeated assembly cycles. Whether you need a compact survival tool, a plinking companion, or a training platform, the Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle delivers proven performance in a field-ready package.

Overview

As the name implies, the Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle separates into two main components at the receiver for compact storage and transport. Unlike many takedown designs that sacrifice accuracy for portability, Ruger engineered a unique locking system that ensures consistent barrel-to-receiver alignment. The result is a .22 LR rifle that packs down to approximately 17 inches in a supplied carry bag but shoots with the same dependable accuracy as a fixed-barrel 10/22. This is the same action that has defined rimfire shooting for decades, now optimized for the shooter who values mobility without compromise.

The Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle ships with a 10-round rotary magazine and is compatible with all standard 10/22 aftermarket magazines and accessories. Its cold hammer-forged barrel provides excellent longevity and accuracy, while the familiar cross-bolt safety and extended magazine release remain unchanged for intuitive operation.

Who It’s For

The Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle is designed for shooters who need a reliable rimfire that fits into a backpack or duffel bag. It is an ideal choice for backpackers, campers, and survivalists who require a compact firearm for small game procurement or defensive use in remote areas. The takedown capability also appeals to vehicle-based shooters who value efficient storage and quick deployment. For competitive rimfire shooters, the Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle serves as a portable training tool that shares the same manual of arms as the full-size 10/22. First-time rifle owners will appreciate the low recoil, simple operation, and extensive aftermarket support that comes with the 10/22 platform. Because of its modular design and threaded barrel, this rifle also suits suppressor owners who want a compact host for quiet shooting sessions.
