Picatinny rails, specifically designed for this handguard, are available from Ruger, allowing the handguard to be configured to accept any number of rail-mounted sights or accessories. A barrel support block is installed in the handguard.
Sturm, Ruger Introduces New SR-22 AR-Style Rifle
September 21, 2009Printer Friendly | Email |
SOUTHPORT, Conn. -- Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. has joined the ranks of manufacturers who are making AR-style rimfire rifles.
The Ruger SR-22TM Rifle is an autoloading rimfire rifle that uses 10/22-style magazines on the new AR-style Ruger SR-556 platform. The new SR-22 Rifle allows shooters to use economical .22 LR ammunition, while still enjoying the look and feel of an AR.
The SR-22 Rifle uses a standard 10/22 action inside an all-aluminum chassis that replicates the AR-platform dimensions between the sighting plane, buttstock height, and grip.
The SR-22 Rifle provides a Picatinny rail optic mount, and includes a six-position, telescoping M4-style buttstock (on a Mil-Spec diameter tube), plus a Hogue Monogrip pistol grip. Buttstocks and grips may be swapped out for any AR-style compatible option.
The SR-22 Rifle is equipped with a cold hammer forged alloy steel barrel that is 16-1/8 long and is capped with an SR-556/Mini-14 flash suppressor mounted with a ½-28 thread.

Oh, for cryin' out loud. This is a 10/22? For $625? Didn't we get over that "looks and feels" cosmetic crap when the AWB expired?
I'm saving my money. Ruger has great revolvers, pretty good bolt & single-shot rifles, and damned little else any more. /rant.

The 10/22 is a fine little gun. I have 3, set up in different ways. This seems like a waste to me, though. For less than $100 a Tapco stock accomplishes the same thing, and used 10/22s can be had for $100 or so.
i have my own gun but i want SR 22 rifles.it is not expensive than ohter rifles...
Just picked up the new SR-22. Can't wait to shoot it. I would agree with some post that it's nothing more than a cool looking 10-22. However, when you collect 22's it's a gteat compliment to the collection. It's really no different than my AR-15 style air soft gun that comes in at $300.00. With regards to the comment about AWB, seriously? Lastly, it's better than the Colt and Smith & Wesson want-a-bes. Have fun gang and be safe.
I have both a Ruger SR-22 and a S&W MP15-22. They are both fantastic weapons and shoot great. The S&W functioned flawlessly from the start using bulk Federal 22 ammo bought at WallyWorld. Using the Federal 22s in the SR-22 produced a feed/eject malfunction 3 to 5 times per 30 round magazine. Changed to CCI ammo in the SR-22 and the problem cleared up. I have equipped my SR-22 with an EOTech 512 sight, added the Ruger Full length rail to the forward section and a bipod. Really makes the SR-22 look mean and with the holographic sight it is a spot on shooter. Love it
