The Magpul X-22 Backpacker Optic Mount transforms the Ruger 10/22 Backpacker stock into a precision platform capable of accepting standard optics. This aluminum mount eliminates the need for aftermarket stocks when adding magnified optics to the compact takedown rifle.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic rail systems that require permanent modifications, the X-22 Backpacker Mount integrates directly with Ruger's factory Backpacker stock design. The mount maintains the rifle's quick-disconnect capability while providing a stable 20 MOA Picatinny rail section. Standard scope rings attach directly to the machined aluminum surface, creating a rigid optics platform that returns to zero after reassembly.
Key Features
- Direct integration with Ruger 10/22 Backpacker stock - no gunsmithing required
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard coat anodizing
- 20 MOA built-in cant optimizes long-range trajectory
- Full-length Picatinny rail accepts standard 1-inch and 30mm rings
- Maintains takedown functionality for compact storage
- Black finish matches factory Backpacker stock aesthetics
- Stainless steel hardware resists corrosion in field conditions
Field performance centers on the mount's ability to maintain zero through repeated assembly cycles. The precision-machined interface locks into the stock's existing mounting points, creating consistent optic positioning. Competition shooters benefit from the 20 MOA cant when engaging targets beyond 100 yards, while hunters appreciate the maintained portability for backcountry applications.
