Ruger 10/22 250th Anniversary – .22 LR, 18.5" Blued, Hardwood Stock (11030)

This is the one that looks the way a 10/22 is supposed to look. Ruger built the 250th Anniversary edition of their original 10/22 carbine design — hardwood stock, satin black 18.5" barrel, gold bead front sight — and marked the receiver "Made in the 250th Year of American Liberty." If you're going to own a commemorative version of the most-produced .22 rifle in American history, there's an argument that it should be the version your grandfather would recognize. Ruger model 11030, UPC 736676110308.

The Original Configuration

Ruger describes this as their original 10/22 carbine design: a hardwood stock, a cold hammer-forged 18.5" alloy steel barrel in satin black, secured by the two-screw V-block system that has anchored 10/22 barrels since 1964. It weighs 5 pounds and measures 37 inches — the dimensions that made this rifle the default first gun for several generations.

Iron Sights That Belong on It

A gold bead front sight and an adjustable rear — the classic carbine sight picture, quick to pick up and easy for a new shooter to learn on. Ruger also includes a combination scope base adapter that accepts both Weaver-style rings and .22 tip-off mounts, so adding glass costs you nothing extra.

Marked for the Year

The receiver carries the "Made in the 250th Year of American Liberty" engraving. Ruger describes the 250th Anniversary series as limited production.
