The Ruger 10/22 Carbine with birch stock is the classic original configuration — the rifle that established the 10/22 as America's best-selling rimfire. The birch hardwood stock and 18.5-inch barrel are the base configuration that has been in continuous production for over 60 years. While surpassed in precision by Target and Competition variants, the birch-stocked Carbine remains the definitive gateway rimfire rifle and the foundation of the most popular platform for rimfire customization.
