What happens when you combine one of the most versatile rimfire rifles with a feature-filled stock from the premier maker of firearm-related polymer products? One such result is Magpul’s X-22 Backpacker Stock for Ruger’s 10/22 Takedown rifle—a product that American Rifleman’s Brian Sheetz considers to be the most cleverly designed accessory he’s ever seen. Sheetz is on the range with a kitted-out Ruger to run through the features and demonstrate the stock’s innovative design.
