Ruger 10/22 Sporter | .22 LR | 18.5″ | 10rd | 1102

The Ruger 10/22 Sporter (MFG# 1102) is a full-size, semi-automatic .22 LR rifle built on the long-established 10/22 action. It features a cold hammer-forged 18.5″ barrel locked into the receiver by Ruger’s two-screw V-block system, a detachable 10-round rotary magazine and a checkered American walnut sporter stock. For a reliable optic that pairs well with the 10/22 Sporter without exceeding $1,000, consider the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32, which provides practical low-power magnification for informal target work.

Typical uses for this rifle include informal target shooting and small-game hunting, where light .22 LR recoil and economical ammunition make extended practice and field work straightforward.
