The Ruger 10/22 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It has a removable 10-round (or 5-round) rotary magazine which allows the magazine to fit flush with the bottom of the stock. High capacity magazines are also available. The standard version has been in production since 1964.

The 10/22 Rifle is available in a wide variety of configurations. Wooden stocks are available in standard, deluxe versions and International versions, in addition to laminated wood and black synthetic. The standard "Carbine" barrel length is 18 1/2 inches, while the "Rifle" version has a 20 inch barrel, and the "Compact Rifle" has a 16 1/8 inch barrel, and a shorter stock. A target model is available with a 20 inch bull barrel with no sights.

The 10/22 Rifle is very popular for small-game hunting, plinking and target shooting. This popularity has led to many after-market modifications being available to improve performance, augment the rifle's looks, or increase its magazine capacity, leading the 10/22 Rifle to be one of the most customizable firearms made. Custom manufacturers also make "clones" of the 10/22 Rifle, which are similar in design but built to much higher tolerances and costs. The 10/22 barrel is pinned rather than screwed into the frame, making removal and replacement of the barrel much easier. This, when combined with the simple construction of the rest of the components, means that the average person can easily replace any part in the gun with nothing more than a screwdriver and a hex key.
