The Ruger 10/22 .22 LR semi-auto rifle (Ruger part no. 32003) is the best-selling rimfire platform in America, prized by hunters, plinkers, and new shooters alike for its dead-simple reliability. This 18.5-inch satin-finish barrel is built around the legendary detachable 10-round rotary magazine that made the 10/22 famous, backed by a cold hammer-forged barrel and a rugged semi-auto action. Whether it is squirrel season, a Saturday at the range, or a first rifle for a new shooter, the 10/22 delivers accurate, low-recoil performance shot after shot.

Key Specifications

• Chambered in .22 LR, one of the most affordable and widely available rimfire cartridges for high-volume practice and small-game hunting.
• The 18.5-inch barrel gives enough sight radius and velocity for consistent accuracy without adding unnecessary weight.
• A 1:16-inch rifling twist is tuned for standard-velocity .22 LR loads, stabilizing bullets for tight groups.

• Ships with one 10-round factory magazine so it is ready to shoot right out of the box.
• The crossbolt safety sits forward of the trigger guard for a fast, tactile on/off check.
• Factory sights combine a gold bead front sight with an adjustable rear sight for quick target acquisition without an optic.
• A satin barrel finish resists fingerprints and light handling wear while keeping a classic look.
• Runs on a semi-auto blowback action that cycles reliably across a wide range of .22 LR ammunition.
