I had wanted a takedown when they first come out but couldn't really wrap my mind around the concept so I put off buying one. Now that this stock has come out I think I will finally get one. This really takes the 10/22 to another level as a prepper style rifle. The mag storage & barrel mount for a mini red-dot is what I've been looking for. The grip storage for a bore snake & oil bottle is a plus as well.

A water proof hard case for vehicle storage or a backpack for camping/hiking are the only things needed now.

guess I'll need another takedown

Purchased a takedown for no reason other than it was cool.

Going to purchase this and another for the same reason.....

Have multiple compact and folding rifles, but I can't pass up supporting a company willing to bring a super sweet product to market. It would be in American of me.....

Please Magpul, don't wait years to get this on the shelves

From the magpul site, click on "New products" and scroll down slightly if THIS LINK doesn't work.

VERY impressive piece of work, especially the fore-end mounted rail. All the justification I need to get a TD now. (Glad I procrastinated & didn't get the Hunter X22 TD version - I really like the storage compartments & how the fore-end attaches to the underside of the stock so everything is together.

I like the add on optic mount. It replaces the factory barrel block. GREAT idea. It solves the problem many of us have with the Takedown, the inability for the optic to return to perfect POA after dis/reassembly. Plus I see there is a raised comb for the stock. PERFECT. More money to Magpul from me.

I could be wrong but to be legal a folding stock rifle that is capable of firing while folded must be 26" minimum. The Butler Creek folding stock needs the 18.5" barrel to be legal. I have been looking at the take down to get a shorter package and that new stock looks great. I have a S&W 15-22 that breaks down by removing 2 pins but I wanted something not tactical looking which is also a problem with the folders. Problem is by the time I buy a take down, the stock, the optic mount and a trigger I will be looking at $600 not including the optic.

This new backpacker stock has me second guessing the way I was going to set up my TD. I already got my Volquartsen Cantilever barrel, and have the Magpul TD x22 stock in the mail.

Now I'm thinking I may just part with the V barrel for a Tac Sol barrel with shroud and get the barrel mount for a micro rds.

I saw the back packer stock and thought what a great idea.

....why not just cut a notch out of the bottom of a regular plastic Ruger stock and carry the barrel the same way? Those stocks are hollow* and probably can hold some ammo as well. Hold it in place with ranger bands (inner tube) or zip ties.

*in case you don't know, the butt plate on the synthetic Ruger stocks just prys off. It is hollow and you can store stuff inside if so inclined.

I am looking for my first rifle and I am really digging the 10/22 Takedown. I saw this new Magpul stock on another forum I frequent (which is where I heard about this forum) and Now I REALLY want a 10/22 takedown.

I'm new here so I am looking forward to learning a bunch about the 10/22. I am new to firearms and currently own a Ruger SR22 and Glock 19 Gen 4

Does anyone know if the X22- takedown backpacker stock comes standard with the cheek risers or are they available at an added cost. I am thinking that I would like to be able to change the set up from peep sights to optics in certain situations.
It doesn't appear that they will be standard. You'll have to pay extra for it just like everything else.
