Key Features
- Takedown Design with Magpul X-22 Backpacker Stock: The barrel and receiver separate for storage inside the stock cavity, reducing overall length to 16.5 inches for discreet transport. Why it matters: You can pack this rifle in a backpack or survival kit without compromising barrel length or accuracy.
- Threaded 16.5-Inch Barrel (1/2×28 TPI): Factory-threaded muzzle ready for suppressors, muzzle brakes, or flash hiders. Why it matters: Run suppressed for reduced report and flash—critical for tactical applications or pest control without spooking game.
- 7075-T6 Aluminum Receiver and Stainless Steel Bolt: Mil-spec-grade receiver and corrosion-resistant bolt ensure consistent lockup and longevity. Why it matters: This combination handles thousands of rounds without degradation, matching the durability of centerfire rifles.
- .22 WMR Chambering: Delivers 40-grain projectiles at 1,900+ fps—nearly double the energy of .22 LR. Why it matters: Provides reliable terminal performance on varmints out to 150 yards, with flat trajectory for headshots at distance.
- Bolt-Action Reliability: Manual cycling eliminates gas system fouling and ammo sensitivity. Why it matters: Functions with any .22 WMR ammunition, from bulk to match-grade, without stoppages.
Who It’s For
This rifle is engineered for law enforcement officers needing a packable survival rifle, military personnel requiring a quiet training platform with a suppressor, and serious shooters who want a lightweight takedown for hiking, truck guns, or precision rimfire matches.
Pros & Cons

The OWYHEE commands a premium due to its .22 WMR chambering and 7075-T6 receiver—offering higher velocity and durability than .22 LR competitors. The Ruger 10/22 Takedown provides semi-auto speed at a lower cost, while the Savage Mark II FV-SR is a budget-friendly bolt-action but lacks takedown portability.
FAQ
Does the Tactical Solutions OWYHEE Takedown accept standard .22 WMR ammunition?
Yes. This rifle is chambered exclusively for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR). It cycles all factory loads from brands like CCI, Winchester, and Hornady without modification.
Can I mount an optic on this rifle?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Picatinny rail (sold separately). We recommend a low-profile rimfire scope or red dot for compact carry.
Is the barrel compatible with a suppressor?
Yes. The 16.5-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 TPI, the standard pitch for .22 rimfire suppressors like the SilencerCo Sparrow or Dead Air Mask.
How does the takedown mechanism work?
A threaded collar at the receiver junction allows the barrel to detach from the stock. The barrel stores inside the Magpul X-22 stock cavity, secured by a retention latch. Reassembly takes under 30 seconds.
What is the warranty on this rifle?
Tactical Solutions provides a limited lifetime warranty on the receiver and barrel against defects in materials and workmanship. The stock is covered for one year.
