Magpul X-22 Backpacker Optic Mount - Black | Compatible with X-22 Backpacker Stock

The Magpul X-22 Backpacker Optic Mount is a barrel-mounted aluminum rail system engineered to lock in zero on your Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifle between disassembly and reassembly. If you run the X-22 Backpacker Stock and want to pair it with a compact red dot sight, this mount solves the repeatability problem that plagues takedown rifles: it attaches directly to the barrel, so your optic stays true regardless of how many times you field-strip the gun. That matters whether you're hiking into remote country, breaking your rifle down for travel, or simply rotating your setup at home.

This is a purpose-built accessory for shooters who refuse to compromise on portability. The mount replaces the factory takedown barrel block and integrates seamlessly with the Backpacker stock's minimalist design. A relief cut in the rail preserves your ability to use factory iron sights if you want them as a backup, which is good sense on any hunting rifle. The black anodized aluminum construction is light and durable—exactly what you'd expect from Magpul's hunting-focused line.

Keep in mind: this mount is sized for small red dot sights and is designed specifically to work with the X-22 Backpacker Stock system. It's a clean, no-frills solution for the 10/22 Takedown platform, and it does one job very well.
