The Ruger 10/22 rifles are autoloading, recoil operated rifles. The Ruger 10/22 Sporter lacks the barrel band of the other carbine models. The walnut stock and cut checkering gives this 10/22 a touch of class. The Ruger 10/22 rifles and carbines have a cross-button safety which is located in the forward portion of the trigger guard. The safety can be operated only when the hammer is cocked. This model uses the same ten-shot rotary magazine as the standard Ruger 10/22 rifle.
