Description
The Ruger 10/22 Takedown is already one of the handiest rimfires around, and the Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock takes that idea and runs with it. When you separate the barrel, the forend stays attached and the whole assembly snaps securely into the bottom of the buttstock, giving you one tidy package that slides into a pack, a truck, or a bug-out bag. The footprint drops to right around 19 inches, so it stows almost anywhere space is tight, and you can reassemble it into shooting condition in seconds.
What the X-22 Backpacker Brings to Your Takedown
This is a drop-in fit for all factory Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifles, and it also plays nice with Tactical Solutions SB-X barrels. Magpul built it from reinforced polymer, so it shrugs off the knocks that come with hauling a rifle into the backcountry. You get an ergonomic forend and a full pistol grip that make the little carbine feel more like a purpose-built field gun, plus a MOE SL non-slip rubber butt pad that keeps things planted on your shoulder.
Storage Built Right Into the X-22 Backpacker Stock
Storage is where this stock really shines. A hinged compartment under the comb holds up to three 10-round magazines, and there's a second compartment tucked inside the grip for small odds and ends like a multi-tool, patches, or a few extra rounds. Load a magazine in the rifle and you've got roughly 40 rounds riding along without a separate pouch. The stock also includes interchangeable standard and optic-height cheek risers, so you can dial in a solid cheek weld whether you're running irons or glass, along with optional QD sling mounting for hands-free carry on the trail.
The barrel can even be taken down and stowed with your optic still mounted, which keeps setup quick and your zero close to where you left it. For hunters, hikers, campers, and anyone who wants a grab-and-go plinker, this is one of the smartest upgrades you can bolt onto a 10/22 Takedown. Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the X-22 Backpacker stock fit my Ruger 10/22 Takedown?
Yes. It's a drop-in fit for all factory Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifles, and it also accommodates Tactical Solutions SB-X barrels. It is designed for the Takedown model specifically, not the standard fixed-barrel 10/22.
How does the barrel store in the Backpacker stock?
When you take the rifle down, the barrel assembly with the forend still attached snaps securely into the bottom of the buttstock using a locking interface. That gives you one compact package that fits in a pack or vehicle. You can even leave your optic mounted while it's stowed.
How many magazines can the X-22 Backpacker hold?
The hinged compartment under the comb holds up to three 10-round 10/22 magazines. With a fourth loaded in the rifle, that's around 40 rounds traveling with the gun. There's also a separate grip compartment for small gear like tools or extra rounds.
Does it come with cheek risers?
It does. The stock includes interchangeable standard and optic-height cheek risers, so you can set up a comfortable cheek weld whether you're shooting iron sights or a mounted optic. Swapping them is a quick, tool-light process.
