Key Features
- 16.5″ Threaded Barrel – Lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith. Reduces report and recoil, making follow-up shots faster in competition.
- Takedown Design – The barrel and receiver separate in seconds. Fits into a compact case for transport to steel challenges or backcountry hunts.
- Magpul Hunter Stock – Adjustable length of pull and cheek riser. Gives you a solid cheek weld and consistent eye relief with optics.
- 10-Round Magazine – Standard capacity for rimfire matches and small-game seasons. Reloads are fast with the oversized mag release.
- Matte Finish – Low-glare surface reduces reflections in bright sun. Holds up to rough handling in a pack or truck bed.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the rimfire competitor who wants a reliable platform for NRL22, ARA, or Steel Challenge. It’s also a solid pick for the hunter who needs a lightweight .22 that can handle a suppressor without breaking the bank. If you’re tired of finicky semi-autos that only run high-velocity ammo, the X-Ring VR GEN2 is built to digest everything from CCI Standard to Eley Tenex.
Pros / Cons
Pros: Accurate out of the box, takedown convenience, threaded barrel, Magpul stock compatibility, reliable cycling with subsonic loads.
Cons: The aluminum receiver can feel light compared to steel guns, and the trigger is serviceable but not match-grade—plan to upgrade if you’re chasing 1/4″ groups at 50 yards.

FAQ
Does this rifle come with a suppressor?
No. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 TPI and ready for a suppressor, but the rifle ships without one. You’ll need to purchase a .22 can separately and follow all NFA rules.
Can I use high-velocity ammo?
Yes, but the X-Ring VR GEN2 is optimized for standard-velocity and subsonic loads. High-velocity ammo works fine but may produce slightly wider groups at 50 yards. Stick to CCI Standard or SK Standard+ for best accuracy.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
Yes. The Magpul Hunter stock has an adjustable length of pull from 12.5″ to 14.5″ and a cheek riser that moves up 0.5″. You can dial it in for your body mechanics without tools.
What optics mount does it use?
The receiver has a Picatinny rail (MIL-STD-1913) on top. Any standard 30mm or 1″ ring set will work. For rimfire matches, I recommend a low-mount 1-4x or a red dot with a 2 MOA dot.
