Ruger | 10/22RPF | .22 LR | 50th Anniversary Commemorative | Model 01151 Introduced in 1964, the Ruger 10/22 quickly established itself as one of America's most popular and recognizable rimfire rifles. Designed with a dependable semiautomatic action, detachable rotary magazine, and lightweight construction, the 10/22 became a favorite among generations of recreational shooters, small-game hunters, and firearms enthusiasts. Its combination of reliability, affordability, and versatility helped make it one of the most successful rimfire rifle designs in American firearms history. In 2014, Sturm, Ruger & Co. celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 10/22, commemorating five decades of production with specially marked anniversary rifles. These commemorative models honored the original 1964 introduction while retaining the practical features that made the 10/22 such an enduring success. This example is a Ruger 10/22RPF 50th Anniversary Commemorative, catalog Model 01151, chambered in .22 Long Rifle and featuring an 18.5-inch barrel and black synthetic stock. The rifle features distinctive 50th Anniversary markings, including the inscription "THE RUGER 10/22 RIFLE - 22LR FIFTY YEARS - 1964-2014" on the left side of the receiver. The bolt also displays a special 50th Anniversary emblem, distinguishing this rifle from standard-production 10/22 carbines. Accompanying the rifle is its original factory box, which identifies the firearm as Catalog No. 10/22RPF, Model 01151, and prominently displays "50 Years of the Ruger 10/22." The matching anniversary markings on the rifle and factory packaging provide additional appeal for Ruger enthusiasts and commemorative firearm collectors. The rifle retains its traditional 10/22 configuration, featuring a black synthetic stock, semiautomatic action, and detachable rotary magazine system. Also included in the original box is an optics mounting base/rail, allowing the installation of a compatible riflescope or other optic. Firearm Specs Manufacturer: Sturm, Ruger & Co.
