The Hogue 22000 OverMolded Rifle Stock transforms the standard Ruger 10/22 platform with precision-engineered aluminum pillar bedding and ergonomic synthetic construction. This drop-in replacement stock eliminates the accuracy limitations of factory wood stocks while providing superior weather resistance and consistent performance.
What Makes This Different
Aluminum pillar bedding sets this stock apart from standard synthetic alternatives by creating a rigid, stress-free connection between the barreled action and stock. The pillars eliminate compression and movement that plague traditional bedding methods, maintaining consistent barrel harmonics shot after shot. Hogue's OverMolded construction bonds a soft rubber exterior to a rigid fiberglass core, creating a non-slip grip surface that remains tacky in wet conditions.
Key Features
- Aluminum pillar bedding system for enhanced accuracy and consistency
- OverMolded rubber construction with fiberglass-reinforced polymer core
- Full-length aluminum bedding block spans entire action length
- Ergonomic palm swell and finger grooves for improved control
- Weather-resistant synthetic materials resist warping and swelling
- Drop-in installation compatible with standard Ruger 10/22 rifles
- Textured grip surfaces provide secure hold in all conditions
Range testing consistently shows improved group sizes compared to factory stocks, with many shooters reporting 25-50% tighter groups at 50 and 100 yards. The rigid bedding system maintains zero even with heavy barrel contours and aftermarket accessories. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent cheek weld and natural pointing characteristics, while hunters benefit from the stock's quiet operation and all-weather reliability.
