(FirearmsGuide.com) This exciting new 10/22 Takedown® Lite combines the popular attributes of the 10/22 Takedown® line with a new, lighter weight barrel and the Ruger® Modular Stock System. This new barrel configuration consists of a cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel mated with a 6061-T6 aluminum alloy sleeve.

Taking a page from the Ruger 22/45 Lite®, the 10/22 Takedown Lite's aluminum alloy barrel sleeve is ventilated, resulting in the lightest weight 10/22® target barrel yet from Ruger! The barrel and sleeve are torqued to an optimum setting to provide outstanding accuracy both at ambient temperatures and when heated by long strings of fire or by employing a sound suppressor.
