Key Features: Precision Engineering for Optimal Performance

Every component of the Ruger 10/22 Carbine (UPC: 736676311439) is meticulously crafted to contribute to its overall performance and user satisfaction.

The Heart of the Rifle: .22 LR Caliber and Magazine System

• Chambered in .22 LR: The .22 Long Rifle (LR) is a versatile and cost-effective cartridge, perfect for a multitude of applications. It's excellent for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting (such as squirrels, rabbits, and varmints), and foundational shooting instruction. Its low report and minimal recoil contribute to a pleasant shooting experience.
• 10-Round Rotary Magazine: This model comes with Ruger's patented 10-round detachable rotary magazine, celebrated for its compact design and exceptional reliability. The unique rotary design ensures that cartridges are fed smoothly and reliably into the chamber. The magazine fits flush with the stock, maintaining the rifle's sleek profile.

Superior Barrel and Receiver Construction

• 18.50" Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: The 18.5-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged, a manufacturing process that results in ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy, longevity, and easy cleaning. This method creates a highly durable barrel that maintains its precision shot after shot. The satin black finish offers both aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance.
• Two-Screw V-Block System: The barrel is securely locked into the matte black satin receiver by a robust two-screw V-block system. This innovative design ensures a consistently tight barrel-to-receiver connection, which is critical for maintaining shot-to-shot accuracy and overall structural integrity.
• Durable Steel Receiver: The receiver, the core component that houses the firing mechanism, is constructed from steel, providing a robust and stable platform for the rifle's operation. Its matte black satin finish adds a refined look and protects against the elements.

Ergonomic and Resilient Stock

• Black Fixed Synthetic Stock: This carbine features a lightweight yet incredibly durable black synthetic stock. Synthetic stocks are highly resistant to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and impacts, making them ideal for use in various outdoor environments. The fixed design ensures a stable and consistent shooting platform, while its ergonomic contours provide a comfortable and secure grip for right-handed shooters.

Advanced Trigger and Safety Features

• Heat-Stabilized, Glass-Filled Polymer Trigger Housing Assembly: This innovative housing assembly is lightweight, impact-resistant, and ensures manufacturing consistency. It helps maintain reliable operation and a consistent trigger pull, contributing to improved accuracy.
• Crossbolt Safety: An intuitive and easy-to-operate crossbolt safety mechanism is located conveniently on the trigger guard. This simple yet effective safety system provides an immediate visual and tactile indicator of the rifle's safe or firing condition, promoting responsible firearm handling.

Integrated Sights for Versatile Aiming

• Gold Bead Front / Adjustable Rear Sights: For shooters who prefer open sights or as a reliable backup, the Ruger 10/22 Carbine includes classic gold bead front and adjustable rear sights. These provide a clear sight picture for quick target acquisition and can be fine-tuned for elevation and windage, ensuring accurate shooting even without the included scope.

The Viridian EON 3-9x40mm Scope: Enhancing Your Shooting Experience

What truly sets this Ruger 10/22 Carbine (model 31143) apart is the inclusion of a factory-mounted Viridian EON 3-9x40mm scope. This addition transforms the rifle into a complete, out-of-the-box precision instrument, ready for action.

• Versatile Magnification (3-9x): The 3-9x magnification range is universally recognized as one of the most versatile for rimfire rifles.
  • 3x magnification is ideal for close-range plinking, quick target acquisition, or shooting in dense brush where a wide field of view is critical.
  • 9x magnification allows for precise shot placement on small targets at extended rimfire distances, making it perfect for small game hunting or disciplined target shooting.
• Generous 40mm Objective Lens: The 40mm objective lens gathers ample light, providing a bright and clear image even in lower light conditions, such as dawn or dusk. This enhances target visibility and improves overall shooting performance.
• Factory Mounted and Zeroed: The scope comes pre-mounted and often bore-sighted from the factory, significantly reducing the setup time for the user. This means you can get to the range sooner and begin fine-tuning your zero with minimal effort.
• Enhanced Accuracy and Target Acquisition: A quality scope like the Viridian EON allows for much finer aiming than traditional iron sights, leading to improved accuracy, especially at longer distances or on smaller targets. It also helps in quickly identifying and acquiring targets.
• Included Scope Rings: The package also includes high-quality scope rings, ensuring the Viridian EON scope is securely attached to the rifle's receiver, ready for immediate use.
