The new Magpul X-22 Backpacker Stock provides a neat and easy way to transport and shoot the Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifle while providing the popular features of the company's full-size Hunter X-22 Takedown stock system. Constructed of a durable, advanced polymer, the Backpacker stock's fore-end snaps into a gap under the shoulder stock. This allows the rifle to travel as a single, compact unit when the barrel is separated from the receiver. The shoulder stock features a non-slip MOE SL rubber recoil pad and a hinged cover that swings open to reveal a storage space that can hold up to three Ruger 10-round factory rotary magazines or a combination of magazines, ammunition and other equipment. This stock fits all Ruger 10/22 Takedown models and Tactical Solutions' SBX barrels. MSRP: $109.95. For more, visit magpul.com.
