Special Features
- The cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel is tensioned inside a carbon fiber sleeve, a construction method that dramatically reduces weight while maintaining the barrel stiffness needed for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy, allowing this rifle to perform well below the weight of a comparable bull barrel setup
- The 30 MOA integral Picatinny rail gives long-range rimfire competitors additional elevation adjustment range to engage distant targets without burning through scope travel, a direct advantage in PRS22 and similar formats
- The Ruger BX-Trigger delivers a light, crisp 2.5 to 3 lb pull with minimal overtravel and a clean positive reset right out of the box, with no gunsmithing required and compatibility with the full ecosystem of aftermarket BX-Trigger upgrades
- The dual bedding system incorporates a second bedding lug that locks the receiver solidly into the Grey Birch Chassis, eliminating the inconsistencies that can come from a receiver that shifts under the stress of repeated firing
- The nitrided CNC-machined match bolt creates a precisely fitted, smooth action with tight tolerances that contribute directly to feeding reliability and accuracy performance
- The Grey Birch Chassis forend features M-LOK slots and an Arca-Swiss rail for attaching accessories, bipods, or support bags without additional adapters, and the chassis folds compactly for easy transport to and from the range or in the field
- A rear cleaning port built into the receiver allows the barrel to be cleaned from the breech end, protecting the muzzle crown and making maintenance faster and easier
- Ruger's proprietary enhanced semi-auto chamber is designed to improve accuracy and precision while maintaining reliable feeding and extraction with a wide range of .22 LR ammunition
Practical Benefits
- At just 4.2 lbs with a 16.10 inch carbon fiber sleeved barrel, the Ruger 10/22 Competition (31227) is exceptionally easy to hold steady through long competition stages or extended range sessions without the fatigue that heavier target rifles introduce
- The adjustable length of pull from 13 to 14.5 inches and adjustable cheek height make this rifle easy to fit to a wide range of shooters, from younger competitors and smaller-framed adults to larger-framed shooters who need a longer pull for a proper cheek weld
- The M-LOK and Arca-Swiss compatible forend makes this rifle immediately ready for the support systems used in PRS22 and precision rimfire competition without needing aftermarket modifications or replacement chassis
- The 30 MOA Picatinny rail makes this a strong platform for long-range rimfire shooting where dialing elevation for 100, 150, and 200 yard targets is routine, and the free-floating barrel ensures those adjustments translate consistently to the point of impact
- The folding chassis and included hard case make transport to matches, training sessions, or hunting trips straightforward, and the included Custom Shop certificate of authenticity adds collectible and resale value to the package
- The threaded muzzle gives the shooter the option to add a suppressor, muzzle brake, or compensator, extending the versatility of the platform well beyond a single use case
The Ruger 10/22 Competition Carbon Fiber .22 LR (31227) is a solid fit for precision rimfire competitors, long-range small game hunters, and dedicated trainers who want a factory-built rifle that performs at a custom level right out of the box.
