The Ruger 10/22 Target Lite Thumbhole .22 LR 10rd is a precision rimfire rifle built around the proven 10/22 semi-automatic action. It features a thumbhole laminate stock with adjustable length of pull, a cold hammer-forged barrel tensioned in an aluminum sleeve, and the BX-Trigger with a crisp 2.5–3 lb pull. This is a dedicated training and competition platform for shooters who demand accuracy and repeatability without the weight of a full bull barrel.

Key Features
- BX-Trigger Assembly – Why it matters: A 2.5–3 lb trigger pull with positive reset eliminates creep and overtravel, enabling consistent shot-to-shot accuracy for precision rimfire matches or varmint control.
- Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel Tensioned in Aluminum Sleeve – Why it matters: The tensioned barrel reduces harmonics and maintains zero under rapid fire, while the aluminum sleeve sheds weight (6.4 lbs total) without sacrificing rigidity.
- Threaded Muzzle (1/2″-28) – Why it matters: Accepts suppressors, compensators, or flash hiders. The included protective cap keeps threads clean when not in use.
- Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) – Why it matters: Spacers allow LOP adjustment from 12.5″ to 14.5″ to fit shooters of all sizes or heavy clothing, critical for consistent cheek weld and shooting position.
- Detachable 10-Round Rotary Magazine – Why it matters: The rotary design ensures reliable feeding with .22 LR rounds, reducing rim-lock and misfeeds common with stick magazines.
