The stock, trigger, and barrel all work together to provide a competitor with a serious match rifle at a less-than-serious price. While some manufacturers have a base cost of about $1,000, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ruger.com\/products\/1022Target\/models.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\">10\/22 Target<\/a> comes in at about $600. That doesn\u2019t mean you must be a Steel Challenge competitor to want the 10\/22 Target. The Target holds its own in small game hunting, informal precision shooting, or plinking aluminum soda cans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-lightweight-bull-barrel\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" data-level=\"2\">Lightweight Bull Barrel<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-laminated-thumbhole-stock\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" data-level=\"2\">Laminated Thumbhole Stock<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-ruger-bx-trigger\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" data-level=\"2\">Ruger BX Trigger<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-running-the-10-22-target\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" data-level=\"2\">Running The 10\/22 Target<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-familiar-controls\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" data-level=\"2\">Familiar Controls<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-is-the-ruger-10-22-target-worth-it\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" data-level=\"2\">Is The Ruger 10\/22 Target Worth It?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-specifications-ruger-10-22-target\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" data-level=\"2\">SPECIFICATIONS: Ruger 10\/22 Target<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ruger 10\/22 action is a benchmark design for 22 LR semi-auto rifles. That\u2019s why other manufacturers like Begara, Volquartsen, Tactical Solutions, Magnum Research, and others produce 10\/22 knock-offs. We all have a lot of 10\/22 trigger time under our belt. I immediately noticed the 10\/22 Target&#8217;s barrel, stock, and trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lightweight-bull-barrel\">Lightweight Bull Barrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first four inches of the barrel is a full 0.9 inches in diameter. A typical bull barrel offers rigidity for better accuracy. From that point on, Ruger machined the barrel until it was pencil thin and slipped an aluminum sleeve over it keeping the 0.9-inch barrel diameter. A special nut is tightened against the sleeve to create tension at the muzzle. This configuration provides the rigidity of a full steel barrel without the weight. The rifle weighs five pounds without an optic. The muzzle is threaded for a device of your choosing. Next, the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3864-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger riflebull barrel\" class=\"wp-image-203797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3864-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3864-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3864-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3864-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3864.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The first four inches of the barrel are steel, the rest is a skinny steel barrel inside an aluminum sleeve. This is a rigid setup that is also lightweight.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-laminated-thumbhole-stock\">Laminated Thumbhole Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The thumbhole stock is made from gray\/black laminated wood. It is ambidextrous and very comfortable to shoot. The ventilated forend is equipped with five slots on both sides that create a gripping surface and allow the barrel to cool. The bottom of the forend is flat for added stability when using a rest. Sling swivel studs are included and the front one can double as a bipod attachment. The pistol grip is smooth and contoured so it fits your hand with a slight palm swell. The comb is smooth for a comfortable cheek weld. The toe is flat making it easier to use a toe bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The butt pad is rubber with large rounded edges that allow smooth, fast shouldering. It is also serrated so it sticks to your shoulder. LOP can be adjusted via the use of spacers. The pistol grip has a slight rearward sweep that is comfortable when seated at a bench, prone shooting off a bipod or shooting off-hand. Though the stock is smooth the shape of the stock provides comfortable and secure gripping areas. Shooting off-hand, the Target is very fast on target. It balances just forward of your shooting hand so the barrel feels lively and moves quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3863-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target buttstock is adjustable for LOP\" class=\"wp-image-203798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3863-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3863-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3863-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3863-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3863.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Length Of Pull (LOP) is adjustable on the Ruger 10\/22 Target via spacers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ruger-bx-trigger\">Ruger BX Trigger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally the BX trigger. The Ruger BX trigger can\u2019t be adjusted but has a 3.2-pound pull weight. It is serrated so your finger stays in place when shooting fast. There is about a .25-inch take-up before you hit the wall and the trigger breaks. It resets in about .25 inches. It is a nice trigger and it shows in the accuracy data I collected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either a scope or a red dot is a good option for the Target depending on what your end game is. I wanted a setup that would offer fast shooting, so I opted for a red dot. I had an Aimpoint ARCO P-2 on hand that I\u2019ve used on AR15s and semi-automatic handguns. Why not use it on the Target? It was a good choice offering fast target acquisition. I shoot with both eye open and the 3.5 MOA red dot is easy to pick up. The Ruger came with a base and the ARCO QD mount clamped on with no issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3866-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"aimpoint acro p-2 mounted on a ruger gun\" class=\"wp-image-203800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3866-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3866-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3866-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3866-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3866.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Aimpoint ACRO P-2 paired well with the Ruger 10\/22 Target, offering fast target acquisition with the 3.5 MOA red dot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-running-the-10-22-target\">Running The 10\/22 Target<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ammunition consisted of a mix of inexpensive, target and hunting rounds. On the low-price range of the spectrum was the CCI Blazer with a 38-grain LRN bullet and 1,240 fps average muzzle velocity. The target ammo was Federal Auto Match with a 40-grain Solid bullet and 1,143 fps muzzle velocity. For hunting, I used hot CCI Stangers with a 32-grain copper-plated HP that averaged 1,523 fps. The smallest 5-shot group measured 0.49 inches with Federal Auto Match ammo. A close second was the economy CCI Blazer load which measured 0.55 inches. The CCI Stangers averaged 0.84 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3868-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"target group from the ruger 10\/22\" class=\"wp-image-203801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3868-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3868-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3868-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_3868.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Red dots are not as accurate as scopes, but the Ruger 10\/22 with an Aimpoint ACRO P-2 offered good accuracy at 50 yards.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Target feeds from the classic Ruger rotary magazine and uses the same size magazine release as most Ruger 10\/22 rifles so it is not so small that\u2019s is difficult to operate and not so big that it gets in the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Press the mag release forward with the thumb of your support and mags drop free. The magazine is also easy to insert. I\u2019ve found with some 10\/22 knockoffs the magazine doesn\u2019t have a lot of tolerance when inserting them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-familiar-controls\">Familiar Controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The familiar 10\/22 controls on the Target are the same as the manual cross-bolt safety located in the front of the trigger guard, and the flat blade charging handle. The flat blade is easy to operate and manipulate, but rounded charging handles are more comfortable to run. The bolt does not remain open after the last shot, and like all 10\/22 guns, it needs to be disassembled for a thorough cleaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/thrive-hd-red-dot-from-zerotech\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\">A Bad Guy\u2019s Nightmare: Thrive HD Red Dot from ZeroTech &nbsp;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trigger is clean and crisp. And when shooting for speed on 8-inch paper plates at different ranges the Target allowed me to shoot fast and transition quickly. I needed a screwdriver to remove the silly grin I had on my face after running the Target. It is a lot of fun to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-the-ruger-10-22-target-worth-it\">Is The Ruger 10\/22 Target Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Target is lightweight and made to be shot offhand. Shooting off the bench was comfortable, too. The Target is accurate. If you want a dedicated .22 LR to use on steel plates, this rifle is affordable at a street price of $600 since the 10\/22 Target lets you compete against the high-priced custom guns without any compromise. But that hasn\u2019t stopped me from plinking or small game hunting with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-specifications-ruger-10-22-target\">SPECIFICATIONS: Ruger 10\/22 Target<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Action Type: Semi-Automatic, blowback<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall Length: 35.2 in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barrel Length: 16.1 in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muzzle Device: None, threaded barrel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sights: None, Weaver-style scope base adapter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight Unloaded: 5.0 lbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacity: 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stock: Laminated thumbhole<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LOP: Adjustable, 14-14.5 in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buttplate: Rubber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Action Finish: Matte black<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barrel Finish: Matte black<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Magazine Type: Detachable, plastic, 10-rnd. rotary box<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trigger Pull Weight: 3.2 lbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety: Manual trigger block<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MSRP: $799.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ruger-10-22-target-review-fast-shooting-and-competition-ready\" title=\"Ruger 10\/22 Target Review: Fast Shooting And Competition Ready\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ruger 10\/22 Target is built for Steel Challenge competition shooting.
