The Magpul X-22 Backpacker Stock transforms the Ruger 10/22 Takedown into a compact, portable rimfire system that stores the barrel within the stock assembly. This innovative design reduces overall transport length while maintaining the rifle's accuracy and reliability for backcountry adventures and space-conscious storage.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional takedown storage methods that require separate cases or pouches, the X-22 Backpacker integrates barrel storage directly into the stock body. The patent-pending design secures the barrel and action together as a single unit, eliminating loose components during transport. This approach reduces packed length to just 16.75 inches compared to 27 inches with standard takedown configurations.
Key Features
- Integrated barrel storage compartment eliminates need for separate carrying case
- Reduces packed length to 16.75 inches for backpack compatibility
- Reinforced polymer construction with textured grip surfaces
- Standard Ruger 10/22 trigger group and magazine compatibility
- Multiple sling attachment points including QD cup and traditional swivel studs
- Stealth Gray finish matches tactical and hunting environments
- Tool-free assembly and disassembly process
Field testing demonstrates the X-22 Backpacker maintains accuracy standards comparable to factory stocks while offering superior portability. The stock's rigid lockup system prevents barrel movement during transport, preserving zero retention between shooting sessions. Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts benefit from the compact profile when navigating dense terrain or packing into remote locations where space and weight matter.
