Ruger has created four 75th anniversary Ruger 10/22 models, adding special touches that make an already firearm into something special and timeless. The rifles will be available throughout the remainder of 2024, and MSRPs are very reasonable.

The 10/22, coincidentally, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Since its introduction in 1964, it has reigned on top, or very close to it, in annual and monthly semi-auto rimfire rifle sales. The firearm shows no signs of slowing in popularity, a clear indication these special versions will only increase in value with age.

The latest 10/22 Anniversary models are in addition to the already popular 75th anniversary satin stainless steel barrel models introduced earlier this year. They have an MSRP of $399. The new pair, introduced in August 2024, wear satin black alloy steel barrels ($379 MSRP). With stained and unstained hardwood stock options available in either metalwork, there are now four commemorative versions available.

Each feature a polished bolt engraved with a 75th anniversary logo, a match-sanded butt pad and front and rear sling swivels. The new models maintain Ruger’s longstanding tradition of providing high-value firearms that perform at modest prices. With this quartet, however, the anniversary touches don’t mean a lifetime sentence in the gun safe.   

Full details and specifications on the Ruger 75th anniversary models are available on the company’s website. They are a great choice for any enthusiast, young or old.

In the calculated fashion that seen Ruger thrive in business conditions that have shuttered many others, the company has carefully timed the release of several anniversary firearms this year. Models include a finely engraved, limited-edition Ruger No. 1, SR1911s, American Rifle Generation IIs, LCP MAXs and Mark IV target pistols. All maintain the firm’s dedication to reasonable price and dedication to performance.
