By Wilburn Roberts published on October 21, in Firearms , Reviews. Among the most useful, reliable, and practically accurate. My experience with the rifle goes back some 40 years. I have enjoyed excellent results with every Ruger. I have never seen a malfunction with the rifle when the 10 22 is fed the proper high velocity. Variations include rifles designed for long-range target work, hunting, and even tactical versions for personal defense.

It is difficult to choose a favorite among the many variations, but a new version of the rifle has my attention. Ruger has introduced a version of the rifle that is similar in appearance to the M1 Carbine. Light, handy, and firing a mid range cartridge, the M1 carbine was the first low-maintenance military rifle and the first issued with non-corrosive ammunition.

For performance, appearance, and fun factor, the Ruger makes the grade.

This is the most proven. This design is among the standouts of all Ruger products for engineering success.

The magazine is trouble free and very reliable. The X series magazines, introduced a few years ago, give the rifle a round capacity. This mimics the original M1. The rear sight is an aperture type that while not identical to the M1 carbine is used in the same manner. The rear sight should offer real speed and excellent practical accuracy.

The rifle also incorporates a Picatinny type rail on the receiver. This will allow easy mounting of optics. I see the rifle as well suited to an affordable Red Dot sight for fast work at moderate range.

I have seen both original and reproduction. After all, the original was used in the Pacific with a night vision scope! The stock features a forend that closely mimics the design of the M1 carbine. The outlines, dimensions and style of the stock are similar to the M1 carbine including a slot in the rear of the stock that allows the use of a sling in the original M1 carbine manner.

Overall, the design and execution of the wooden stock and furniture leave nothing to be desired. After all, the rifle is proven in many years of hard use. But the handling and practical accuracy of the new version invited shooting. The original M1 carbine was among the fastest handling military rifles ever designed. The new Ruger mimics that speed in handling and makes for a valid choice as a go anywhere do anything. There is much merit in this recommendation.

The rifle is light, ammunition weight a trifle, and accuracy is excellent.

You can get a shooter up to speed on the. The accuracy of the rifle and cartridge combination lends itself well to fast hits to the arterial region.

But light cover or heavy clothing will defeat the. The rifle is a great small game getter. Rabbit, squirrel and other animals to perhaps the pound class may be taken cleanly with the.

A good shot with a steady hand might find the piece effective against predators such as coyote, varmints, and ground hogs. This Ruger gave excellent results. At 25 yards, groups were centered into an inch. Trackback from your site.

October 25, at Well, I guess that the writer was lucky because I had exactly the opposite experience with my I purchased it used from a co-worker.

Mine had a Leopold 4x telescopic sight affixed to it. Since it shot lousy even with the scope, i took the wooden stock off and replaced it witn a plastic one, bought a bunch of 50 rd mags and a steel lined nylon barrel to make it lighter. Then I had the chance to purchase a Henry AR-7 With a piece of hardened steel with a small hole drilled therein for a peep sight. October 25, at 4: I know, I know…that top Picatinny rail is a concession to those who MUST have some form of optical sight mounted on every firearm they own.

October 24, at 2: I have always been a huge fan of the rear peep sight. October 24, at I totally agree with you there. For me, the curved mag and the rail on top really ruin the look completely, among the other inconsistencies in detail when compared to the real deal. November 14, at Agree no it does not look anything like an M1 carbine to me it is hideous and a stupid idea to me for Ruger. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email.
