Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to announce that the Ruger® 10/22® Carbon Fiber rifle has been honored with the 2025 Industry Choice Award for Specialty Rifle of the Year.

Established in 2015, the Industry Choice Awards (ICA) connect end users with the designers and manufacturers shaping the future of shooting sports. Products are submitted for hands-on evaluation by experts from law enforcement, military, competitive shooting and civilian communities and judged on fit, form, finish and functionality. The Specialty Rifle category was especially competitive this year, but the 10/22 Carbon Fiber stood out significantly during evaluation, earning high praise from ICA testers.

"The 10/22 Carbon Fiber reflects our commitment to building on already successful platforms to provide our consumers with a variety of reliable options," said President and CEO Todd Seyfert. "It's an honor to see it recognized by the Industry Choice Awards, especially in such a competitive category.”

Weighing just 3.5 pounds, the 10/22 Carbon Fiber is Ruger's lightest 10/22 model. The 16.1-inch cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel is tensioned in a carbon fiber sleeve, resulting in superior accuracy and reduced vibration, and the crisp BX-Trigger® provides a responsive, refined shooting experience right out of the box. It is also equipped with a Magpul® MOE® X-22 stock with a textured white speckle finish for an improved grip.
