Ruger Target Light Semi-Auto .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR) Rifle

The Ruger 10/22 Target Lite is often described as the "ultimate factory evolution" of the world’s most popular rimfire rifle. In the UK, it is highly sought after by target shooters and pest controllers alike for its unique balance of a heavyweight "varmint" profile and a featherweight feel.

Overview: Precision Without the Weight:-

The Target Lite is designed to provide the stability and accuracy of a heavy-barrel target rifle without the fatigue of carrying one. It achieves this through a tensioned barrel system: a cold hammer-forged steel inner barrel encased in a rigid, lightweight aluminium alloy sleeve. This results in a 410mm barrel that has the 23.4mm thick profile of a bull barrel but weighs significantly less.

Key Features

• Performance Trigger: Comes factory-fitted with the Ruger BX-Trigger®. This is a significant upgrade over the standard 10/22 unit, offering a light, crisp pull of approximately 2.5 – 3 lbs.

• Thumbhole Stock: Features a striking blue/grey laminate thumbhole stock. It is not only aesthetically pleasing but also ambidextrous, featuring an adjustable length of pull (via spacers) to ensure a perfect fit.

• Modular Mounting: Includes a combination scope base adapter that accommodates both Weaver-style and standard .22 tip-off mounts, giving you total flexibility for optics.

• Suppressor Ready: Crucial for the UK market, the barrel is factory threaded (1/2"-28), making it ready for a sound moderator right out of the box.

• Legendary Reliability: Built on the tried-and-true 10/22 action with the patented 10-round rotary magazine that sits flush with the stock.

Why Choose the Target Lite in the UK?

While many UK shooters spend hundreds of pounds "tuning" a base-model 10/22, the Target Lite provides the most popular upgrades—the match-grade barrel, the BX trigger, and the ergonomic laminate stock—as a factory package. It is the ideal choice for someone who wants Section 1 precision for the range but a rifle light enough for a full night of rabbiting in the field.
