Ruger 10/22 Target Lite | .22 LR | 16.13″ | 21186

The Ruger 10/22 Target Lite is a purpose-built variant of the long-running 10/22 platform, configured for accuracy and comfortable handling. It pairs a cold hammer-forged, aluminum-sleeved barrel with a black laminate thumbhole stock that offers an adjustable length of pull. Built around Ruger’s reliable 10/22 action and BX-Trigger, this model is suited to target shooting and small-game hunting where a light, accurate .22 LR rifle is preferred. A budget-friendly optic that pairs well is the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32, which provides an appropriate magnification range and mounting options for this rifle while staying well under $1,000.
