Ruger Adds Two New Magpul MOE X-22 10/22’s

Not only was it recently 10/22 day, but it’s also the 60th anniversary of Ruger’s iconic semi automatic rimfire rifle. While folks celebrated 10/22 day by posting pics of their favorite 10/22’s, Ruger just announced two new models with Magpul MOE X-22 stocks, the 31216 and the 31217.

Magpul MOE X-22 10/22’s

While these are technically two new models, it’s really one new model with two finish options. The new 10/22’s are chambered in .22 LR and feature Ruger’s classic 10/22 action paired up with a, 18.5 inch barrel. The barrel is fitted with Ruger’s barrel mounted adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight. The barrels are threaded with a 1/2″-28 pitch and come with a thread protector. Finish options are either a clear satin stainless steel or a satin black alloy steel.

Both rifles are fitted with Magpul’s MOE X-22 stock. The X-22 is a lightweight, durable stock that features integral sling loops and M-LOK slots. The M-LOK slots are located at the 6 o’clock position. In addition, the X-22 is lightweight and the pistol grip is finished in Magpul’s TSP texture for a positive grip.

The MOE X-22 fitted rifles feed from Ruger’s excellent 10 round rotary box magazine, and are fitted with an extended magazine release. They use the standard 10/22, push-button, cross-bolt manual safety. A combination scope base adapter for both Weaver-style and .22 tip-off scope mounts is included.

The new MOE fitted 10/22’s have nice clean lines, and should make for rugged and lightweight range or camp rifles. MSRP is $395.00 for the black finish 31216 model and $439.00 for the stainless 31217 model.
