Description
The Tactical Solutions X-Ring VR Gen2 22 LR 16.5″ Hogue OD Green is a rimfire rifle built for the shooter who wants to put rounds on steel or small game without fuss. I’ve spent many mornings behind this platform, and it delivers exactly what it promises: consistent accuracy, a familiar manual of arms, and a stock that won’t slip off your shoulder in wet brush. At $914.22, this isn’t a budget plinker—it’s a tool for serious training or hunting.

Key Features
- 16.5″ Threaded Barrel: Ready for a suppressor or brake right out of the box—quieter shots mean less flinch and better groups.
- Ruger BX Trigger: Crisp, clean break at around 2.5–3 lbs helps you hold the X-ring without fighting a gritty pull.
- Hogue OverMolded Stock (OD Green): Soft rubber overmold soaks up vibration and stays put on a rest or in your hands, even in cold weather.
- 10-Round Rotary Magazine: Drops free, loads easy, and feeds CCI Standard Velocity without a hiccup—trust me, I’ve run hundreds through it.
- Matte Finish Receiver: Reduces glare in the field, so you stay hidden from squirrels and coyotes.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a lightweight .22 for small game and the shooter who needs a trainer that mimics their centerfire AR or bolt gun. If you’re tired of finicky rimfires that choke on bulk ammo, the X-Ring VR Gen2 runs clean with minimal maintenance. It’s also a smart pick for new shooters—the low recoil and familiar controls build confidence fast.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Threaded barrel makes suppressor use easy—great for quiet squirrel hunts.
- Pro: Hogue stock provides a solid, non-slip grip even in rain or snow.
- Pro: Uses standard Ruger 10/22 magazines, so you likely already have spares.
- Con: The aluminum receiver is light but can feel a bit front-heavy with a suppressor attached—you may want a lighter can.

Does the Tactical Solutions X-Ring VR Gen2 take standard Ruger 10/22 magazines?
Yes, it accepts all Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines, including the 10-round, BX-15, and BX-25. No adapters needed.
Can I mount a suppressor directly to the barrel?
Absolutely. The 16.5″ barrel is factory-threaded 1/2×28 TPI, so most .22 suppressors screw right on. Just check your local laws first.
Is the trigger adjustable?
The Ruger BX trigger is user-adjustable for pull weight and overtravel. Out of the box, it breaks cleanly around 2.5–3 lbs.
What ammo does it shoot best?
It cycles CCI Standard Velocity and Mini-Mags flawlessly. High-velocity bulk packs (like Federal AutoMatch) also run well, but subsonic loads may require a break-in period.
Does the Hogue stock fit all body types?
The Hogue OverMolded stock has a standard length of pull (13.5″) and a raised cheekpiece. It works for most adult shooters, but smaller or larger frames may need an aftermarket spacer or cheek riser.
