The Ruger 10/22 Takedown is a .22 LR semi-automatic rifle designed for easy separation of the barrel and action to simplify transport and storage. Its takedown design and included carry case make it well suited to range use, training, small-game hunting, and situations that benefit from compact, easily carried gear. The platform retains the proven 10/22 action and accepts a detachable 10-round rotary magazine for reliable feeding.
