Magpul MOE X-22 Stock for Ruger 10/22 - Lightweight Upgrade

Our review of the Magpul MOE X-22 Stock finds it best suited for shooters who want a lightweight, practical upgrade for a Ruger 10/22 without spending a lot. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of weight savings and thoughtful, functional features: at just under 19 oz the stock noticeably lightens the rifle while retaining useful additions like M-LOK slots, dual barrel trays and integral sling loops. Installation is straightforward and the textured grip and ergonomic butt-pad make it more comfortable and capable in the field.

Key Features

• Lightweight construction: Weighing about 18.9 oz, the stock reduces overall carry weight for longer hunts and outings.
• M-LOK compatibility: The 6 o'clock M-LOK slots allow adding small accessories or mounting options without bulk.
• Dual barrel trays: Two diameter barrel trays support factory pencil and bull-barrel profiles for flexible rifle setups.
• Integrated sling loops: Front and rear integral sling loops accept locking swivels for secure sling attachment and carry options.
• Ergonomic length of pull: The 13.5 in length of pull with a nylon butt-pad keeps cheek weld and handling comfortable for most shooters.
• TSP texture on grip: Magpul's exclusive TSP texture improves purchase and control without feeling abrasive.

Who It's For

The MOE X-22 is ideal for rimfire shooters who want a practical weight reduction and better ergonomics for plinking, small game hunting, or backyard range work. It suits owners of semi-auto and straight-pull Ruger 10/22 style receivers who want a direct, affordable upgrade that accepts basic accessories.

Shooters seeking precision competition chassis, full adjustable stocks, or integrated storage features should look elsewhere, as the MOE X-22 is a lean, purpose-built replacement aimed at utility and lightness rather than modular expansion or heavy customization.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very lightweight design reduces carry fatigue while retaining useful features.
• Good fit and finish compared with the factory stock, with helpful TSP texture for grip.
• Dual barrel trays and M-LOK slots provide real-world flexibility for different barrels and accessories.
• Integral sling loops make it easy to add a secure sling quickly.

Cons

• Not a full modular chassis, so users wanting extensive customization may find it limited.
• Limited internal storage or cheek riser options for shooters wanting extra adjustment.
