S&R .22 Automatic Sporting Carbine

[Glenn R. McMannly]

A week or so ago I found myself purchasing one of Sturm and Ruger’s automatic .22 rifles on a whim.

My local store had a 75th anniversary edition of the famous 10/22 that featured a stainless barrel and walnut stock with engraved bolt and red rubber buttpad.

I purchased some rings for it and mounted a Leupold 2-7x33mm scope I had laying around and have to say, what a clever package:



I’m very well pleased with the rifle. I sighted it in today and couldn’t be more enthralled with the accuracy and reliability, and comfortable handling of the piece.

These Ruger’s are fine little rifles for sure.
I look forward to harvesting some squirrels with it when the season reopens.

I have owned several Ruger 10/22 rifles over the years. All were solid, reliable guns and decently accurate. Got into the customizing fad for a while, lots of custom triggers, barrels and other parts to delight a tinkerer. Still, can't go wrong with a basic model for just good clean fun shooting. I have downsized my gun collection a bit but still have two 10/22s, an International Model and a standard carbine. They are still favorites!
