Features

The Ruger 10/22 X‑22 Backpacker is a right‑hand semi‑automatic .22 LR rifle designed for portability, reliability, and proven 10/22 performance in a compact takedown configuration. It features a 16.4‑inch cold hammer‑forged stainless steel barrel with a satin stainless finish, built for accuracy and long‑term durability. The barrel uses a 1:16 twist rate, is threaded 1/2×28, and includes a thread cap, offering compatibility with rimfire suppressors or muzzle devices where permitted. This model utilizes Ruger’s trusted BX‑1 10‑round rotary magazine and a stainless steel receiver that is drilled and tapped for optics mounting, allowing easy customization. Factory fiber optic sights provide fast target acquisition in varied lighting conditions.

The rifle is housed in a Magpul Hunter X‑22 Backpacker synthetic stock finished in gray, engineered for lightweight strength and efficient storage when disassembled. With a 13.5‑inch length of pull, ergonomic grip geometry, and Ruger’s BX Trigger, the rifle delivers comfortable handling and a clean, consistent trigger pull. A crossbolt safety provides intuitive operation, while the takedown design allows the rifle to break down quickly for transport or storage. Measuring 34.5 inches in overall length and weighing just 4.4 pounds, the Ruger 10/22 X‑22 Backpacker is an ideal choice for backpacking, training, small‑game hunting, or anyone seeking a compact, dependable rimfire rifle with modern ergonomics and legendary Ruger reliability.
