Elevate Your Ruger 10/22: The Ultimate Upgrade with the Hogue OverMolded .920" Bull Barrel Stock

Are you a dedicated Ruger 10/22 owner looking to unlock your rifle's true potential? Perhaps you're striving for tighter groups at the range, seeking enhanced stability for small game hunting, or simply desiring a more comfortable and ergonomic shooting experience. If your factory stock feels flimsy, lacks precision, or doesn't accommodate your preferred .920" diameter bull barrel, then the Hogue 22210 OverMolded Rifle Stock in OD Green is precisely the solution you've been searching for. This isn't just a replacement part; it's a foundational upgrade designed to transform your beloved rimfire rifle into a precision instrument.

Why Upgrade Your Ruger 10/22 Stock?

Many Ruger 10/22 rifles, while legendary for their reliability and modularity, often come with basic factory stocks that can limit their inherent accuracy and user comfort. These stock components might be made of lightweight plastics, exhibit flex under pressure, or lack the features necessary for optimal shooting performance, especially when moving to heavier, more accurate barrels.

• Addressing Accuracy Limitations: A key culprit in inconsistent accuracy is stock flex or an imperfect barrel channel. A stock that allows the barrel to contact it inconsistently during firing can introduce vibrations and inconsistencies, leading to wider shot groups.
• Enhancing Ergonomics and Comfort: Factory stocks can sometimes feel too small, too slick, or simply uncomfortable during extended shooting sessions. A well-designed aftermarket stock can dramatically improve grip, reduce perceived recoil, and provide a more natural shooting posture.
• Accommodating Performance Upgrades: If you've invested in a precision .920" diameter bull barrel, your standard factory stock simply won't fit without extensive modification, if at all. An aftermarket stock specifically designed for these larger barrels is essential.
• Boosting Durability and Weather Resistance: Many factory stocks offer limited protection against the elements. A robust, synthetic stock built for all-weather performance is crucial for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Hogue OverMolded Rifle Stock directly addresses these common challenges, providing a comprehensive solution that elevates your shooting experience.

Unmatched Precision: The Power of Aluminum Pillar Bedding

One of the most critical features setting the Hogue OverMolded stock apart is its integrated aluminum pillar bedding. This sophisticated design element is a cornerstone of accuracy and rifle stability.

• What is Pillar Bedding? Pillar bedding involves precisely machined aluminum sleeves or "pillars" strategically placed within the stock's action mounting bolt holes. These pillars create a rigid, non-compressible connection between the rifle's action and the stock.
• How Does it Improve Accuracy? Without pillar bedding, the action bolts might compress the stock material (especially synthetic ones) over time, leading to inconsistent torque settings and slight shifts in the action's position. This movement, however minute, can negatively impact accuracy. With aluminum pillars, the action is firmly and consistently seated, creating a "rock-solid action fit that will not shoot loose." This ensures that your rifle's action is always in the same, precise position relative to the barrel, shot after shot, critical for achieving tight groupings and consistent point of impact.
• Long-Term Stability: Unlike traditional bedding methods that can degrade over time, aluminum pillar bedding offers enduring stability, maintaining your rifle's zero and accuracy performance through countless rounds and varied conditions.

This meticulous attention to detail in the bedding process underscores Hogue's commitment to delivering products that genuinely enhance a firearm's performance.

The Signature Hogue OverMolded Design: Comfort Meets Control

The Hogue 22210 is part of the renowned OverMolded series, a testament to Hogue's innovative approach to firearm ergonomics. This unique design combines a rigid fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame with a soft, durable, non-slip rubber exterior.

• Superior Grip and Control: The soft, tacky rubberized surface of the OverMolded stock provides an incredibly secure and comfortable grip, regardless of weather conditions – whether your hands are wet, cold, or gloved. This enhanced control translates directly into improved shot placement and confidence, especially during rapid firing or when maneuvering in challenging environments.
• Exceptional Recoil Absorption: While the .22LR cartridge has minimal recoil, the OverMolded material effectively dampens vibrations and micro-recoil impulses, contributing to a more pleasant shooting experience and allowing for faster follow-up shots. This also helps reduce shooter fatigue during extended range sessions.
• All-Weather Performance: The synthetic construction is impervious to moisture, solvents, and temperature extremes. Unlike wood stocks that can swell, warp, or crack, the Hogue OverMolded stock maintains its integrity and performance in rain, snow, or extreme heat, making it an ideal choice for outdoor use.
• Iconic OD Green Finish: The OD Green finish provides a classic, rugged aesthetic that blends seamlessly with various outdoor environments, making it a favorite among hunters and outdoor enthusiasts.

Designed for Your .920" Bull Barrel: A Perfect Fit

The Ruger 10/22 platform is famous for its customizability, with many owners opting for heavier, match-grade barrels to achieve greater accuracy. The Hogue 22210 stock is specifically engineered with a generous .920" barrel channel, making it the ideal choice for these popular "bull barrels."

• Free-Floating Barrel Configuration: The design ensures that your .920" bull barrel is "free-floating," meaning it does not touch the stock along its length. This is a critical aspect of accuracy, as any contact between the barrel and the stock can create pressure points that negatively affect barrel harmonics and shot consistency. A free-floating barrel allows the barrel to vibrate uniformly during firing, leading to more predictable and accurate bullet trajectories.
• Seamless Integration: No modifications are required to fit a .920" diameter barrel into this stock. It's a direct, drop-in replacement that instantly accommodates your upgraded barrel, saving you time and effort.
• Enhanced Rifle Balance: The combination of a heavier barrel and the robust Hogue stock can improve the overall balance of your Ruger 10/22, contributing to a more stable shooting platform.

Installation and Compatibility: What You Need to Know

Upgrading your Ruger 10/22 with the Hogue OverMolded stock is a straightforward process, designed for easy user installation.

• Utilizes Original Stock Attachment Screw: The Hogue 22210 stock cleverly re-uses your original Ruger 10/22 stock attachment screw, simplifying the installation and eliminating the need for additional hardware.
• No Barrel Band Required: Unlike some factory stocks, the Hogue OverMolded stock does not utilize the original barrel band. This is a deliberate design choice that supports the free-floating barrel concept for enhanced accuracy.
• Compatibility: This stock is explicitly designed for the standard Ruger 10/22 rifle with a .920" barrel diameter. It is not compatible with look-alike lever-action model rifles. Please ensure your specific Ruger 10/22 model and barrel diameter match these specifications for a perfect fit.
