Easy takedown enables quick separation of the barrel from the action for ease of transportation and storage. Takedown is as simple as locking the bolt back and verifying that the rifle is unloaded, pushing a recessed lever, twisting the subassemblies and pulling them apart. Simple reassembly allows for a secure connection of the barrel and action and returns the firearm to zero, even when receiver-mounted optics are used, ensuring consistent accuracy, shot after shot. This legendary action is a tried and true Ruger design that ensures consistent, reliable performance. Detachable 10-round rotary magazine features a unique rotor to separate cartridges and provide reliable feeding. Easy-to-use, prominent magazine release provides smooth, no-fuss removal of flush-mounted magazine. Precision-rifled, cold hammer-forged barrel. Positive, push-button, cross-bolt manual safety. Combination scope base adapter for both Weaver-style and .22 tip-off scope mounts included. Heat-stabilized, glass-filled, polymer trigger housing assembly is precision made of high-tech material for improved manufacturing tolerances, impact and abrasion-resistance and an unmatched ability to withstand the elements. The receiver and stock combine to create classic lines for attractive styling.
