The Ruger 10/22 is one of the most popular rimfire rifles ever made, famous for its light recoil, incredible reliability and endless customisation options. Introduced in 1964 and chambered in .22 LR, it became the go-to rifle for training, plinking, competition and small-game shooting across the United States. Its simple blowback design, rotary magazine and smooth handling make it ideal for both beginners and experienced shooters who want precision without heavy recoil. The 10/22 is also a favourite in cinema and games thanks to its practical, friendly feel and instantly recognisable silhouette.
