Appleseed/CMP rifle wins Ruger 10/22 50th Anniversary Design contest

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Official Contest Rules, the grand prize winner will receive a production version of their rifle design, a trip to the Newport, NH plant to watch the production run, and $5,000 worth of Ruger® product. The remaining nine finalists will each receive a Ruger® firearm of their choice. Congratulations, Gary!

It has to be exciting for Gary, who is going to get to see a rifle that he designed come to life. I’ll be very surprised if this doesn’t become a very popular model, as it addresses many of the most common complaints about the platform.
