Magpul X-22 Backpacker Optics Mount - Black

The Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock turns the Ruger 10/22 Takedown into a genuinely packable trail and survival rifle. The X-22 Backpacker Optics Mount takes it a step further — a mil-spec anodized aluminum optic platform that replaces the factory barrel block and provides a clean, zero-retaining mounting solution for the red dot or small optic of your choice.

The Magpul X-22 Backpacker Optics Mount is a mil-spec anodized aluminum optic mounting platform for the Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock, replacing the factory barrel block to provide a repeatable, zero-retaining optic mounting surface compatible with standard Picatinny-footprint red dots and scopes.

Machined aluminum construction provides the rigidity and surface consistency that a repeatable optic mount requires — the barrel block replacement design eliminates the flex points that a stock-mounted optic platform introduces, anchoring the optic directly to the barrel assembly for a more stable and consistent sight picture. The mount retains zero through the Backpacker's takedown and reassembly cycle, which is the defining functional requirement for a takedown rifle optic system: if the zero changes every time the rifle comes apart, the optic defeats the purpose of a packable platform. Open sight use remains compatible without removing the mount, maintaining backup iron sight capability for field situations where battery power is not available.

Compatible with the Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock on Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifles. Requires the X-22 Backpacker stock for installation — not compatible with standard X-22 or factory Ruger stocks.

Mil-spec anodized aluminum construction provides the corrosion resistance and dimensional stability required for an optic mount that will be assembled and disassembled repeatedly in field and trail environments where moisture and dirt accumulate.

The necessary optic upgrade for X-22 Backpacker users who want to run a red dot or compact scope on their packable 10/22 without sacrificing zero repeatability across takedown cycles — making the X-22 Backpacker a genuinely ready-to-shoot packable system rather than a novelty form factor.

Magpul backs the X-22 Backpacker Optics Mount with their manufacturer warranty, delivering a USA-made optic mounting solution that completes the X-22 Backpacker platform for serious field use.
