Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle
That looks like a good idea.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

And here I thought I didn’t need another 10/22!

I will definetly own one of those. Two ideas for product improvement though:
1.) Thread the barrel and make a spot in the case for a can.
2.) Shorten the barrel to 16″
If the point is to make it compact, why not make the barrel as short as possible?

Ryan, there IS a spot in the case for a can.

Alternately, a folding stock (and maybe an extended magazine) will both shorten your plinker and make that old 10/22 look quite like a junior varsity “assault weapon” that will have anti-gunners needing clean pants.

And make one in 5.56 for aspiring, um, “precision shooters”. What’s Ruger doing introducing new stuff when they can’t fill the orders they have?

Regarding sights…
Given the compact form, optics seem to defeat the purpose. I do like my tech sights for 10/22. Would a rear peep sight mounted on the receiver hold zero on such a gun?

Y’know, I’ve had a number of Ruger guns over the years. They all worked, worked well, met a very good price point, and a few of them (mostly Security Sixes, and that really accurate Super Blackhawk) I’ve missed since I’ve sold them.
So, Ruger comes along and makes the Gunsite Scout Rifle, and now this slick take-down 10-22. I’m starting to wonder what else is in the pre-production hopper.
And, I don’t mean to bad mouth the late Bill R., but I think there’s some significance to guns like this coming out now and Ruger scrambling to fill 1 million orders.
All I can say is “thank you, Ruger, and special thanks to you, Bill R., for helping to create and manage the company that has become what it is today.”

I think I have room for one more 10/22. I wonder if they would take the 22/45 I never shoot because it’s not at all like a 1911 in my hand.

If this 10/22 has the same crappy trigger assembly and barrel as the last one I bought, I’ll pass.
My earlier 10/22’s were nicely-made little .22’s, with nice receivers, barrels and trigger groups. I’ve never seen the need to replace any of those major components since they’ll all shoot into less than 1 MOA (with good ammo, and assuming I do my part). From a rest they’ll all put 10 rounds into essentially the same hole (yes, they’re all scoped).
The last one I bought was a complete POS, with some kind of plastic trigger group, poorly-fit stock, and a barrel that wouldn’t shoot into a group of less than an inch at 25 yards (about 4 MOA), regardless of the type of ammunition used. Can’t even take a head-shot on a squirrel with it.
I love my older ones, but I regret that Ruger has “cost-engineered” the value right out of their best little firearm.
