The Ruger 10\/22 has been in production for over 50 years and is the most popular rimfire rifle in America. There are numerous configurations available from Ruger<\/a>. Late last year, Ruger started offering a factory mounted Viridian EON 3-9×40 scope on their 10\/22 Carbine with a black synthetic stock. It comes standard with a Ruger branded hard case, a single 10-round flush fit rotary magazine, standard scope rail for Weaver and .22 tip-off style scope mounts, factory mounted Viridian EON 3-9×40, owner\u2019s manual, and a receiver lock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the scope and rifle weigh in at 5.4 lbs. and has an overall length of 37\u201d.  Ruger uses 18.5\u201d cold hammer forged steel barrels with a 1:16 RH twist finished in satin black. A flip up traditional v-notch rear-sight with diamond dot makes getting on target fast and easy. It is paired with a dovetailed front sight housing a brass bead and serrations to reduce glare. The barrel is slip fit into the receiver with an aluminum V-shaped block and secured with 2 screws creating a precise fit while remaining easy to disassemble. The black satin aluminum receiver houses the reciprocating bolt with charging handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The black synthetic stock has the classic checkering and style of a traditional wooden Ruger 10\/22. The front and rear of the stock have built in sling points. The trigger housing is made from heat stabilized, glass-filled, polymer which is impact and abrasion resistant. It also features the traditional cross-bolt manual push button safety found on all Ruger 10\/22 models. An enlarged magazine release provides a smooth removal of the flush fitting rotary magazine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Viridian EON 3-9×40 sits in 1\u201d medium height factory mounted rings. It features a matte black 1\u201d solid aluminum tube with a 40mm objective. It comes with removable see through scope caps. The windage and elevation knobs are \u00bc MOA adjustable, and are protected by aluminum turret caps. The smooth twist zoom dial is variable from 3-9x and has a 100-yard preset parallax. The lenses are fully coated optics grade glass lenses with a traditional duplex reticle. The Viridian EON has a lifetime warranty and is shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
