Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Long Barrel for sale

What is the longest barrel for a ruger 10 22?

The longest factory Ruger 10/22 barrel is 20 inches, found on the 10/22 Target model. Aftermarket manufacturers offer barrels up to 20 inches as well. Beyond that length, velocity gains with .22 LR ammunition become negligible, making longer barrels impractical for most shooters.

What ammo is not to use in Ruger 10/22?

Avoid using Remington Golden Bullet, Thunderbolt, Federal bulk grey box, and hollow points generally, as these commonly cause misfires and feeding issues in the 10/22. Individual rifles vary, so test several brands to find what cycles consistently in your specific firearm.

How much is a ruger 10 22 long rifle worth?

New Ruger 10/22 rifles can retail as low as $237, with higher configurations reaching $450 or more. Used models vary widely, from under $100 for worn examples up to around $350 on average in good condition. Modified or bundled packages can exceed $500. Prices depend on condition, configuration, and seller.

Which model Ruger 10/22 is best?

"Best" depends on your needs. The Carbine suits general plinking and hunting. The Sporter offers classic wood furniture. The Target model excels at precision shooting with its longer barrel and adjustable stock. All share the same reliable action. Choose based on intended use and preferred ergonomics.

Is the Ruger 10/22 discontinued?

No, the Ruger 10/22 remains in production. Ruger recently upgraded the platform and introduced new models as of early 2026. While some older SKUs were discontinued during the transition, the rifle itself—including the standard Carbine—continues to be manufactured and widely available.

What distance should I zero my 10-22?

Zero distance depends on your shooting purpose. For plinking and general use out to 50 yards, a 25-yard zero works well. For hunting, 50 yards is common. A 25-yard zero keeps bullet drop minimal out to 50 yards, so you stay on target across typical .22 LR ranges without constant hold adjustments.

Are all Ruger 10/22 barrels compatible?

Not all 10/22 barrels interchange freely. Standard factory barrels fit most receivers, but some aftermarket options require minor fitting. Manufacturers like Green Mountain offer direct-fit replacements in various contours. Verify compatibility with your specific receiver before purchasing.

How long will a Ruger 10/22 barrel last?

A standard 10/22 barrel typically lasts 50,000 rounds or more with normal use. Match-grade barrels may show accuracy degradation sooner, around 5,000–10,000 rounds. Actual lifespan depends on maintenance, ammunition quality, and shooting frequency. Many shooters report barrels functioning well beyond 100,000 rounds.
