“When Jim Clark said the Bullseye gun he was sending my way would consistently shoot 10 bullets into 3″ groups at 50 yards, I immediately assumed it would be one of those temperamental pistols that’s extremely selective of its diet…Believe me when I say I was surprised to see it shoot so well with so many different loads….
This gun is a winner.”

Ruger® 10/22®

History

How the 10/22 Bull Barrel Rifle Was Born

The first “Bull Barrel” Ruger® 10/22® rifle was born in the early 1980s by Jim Clark Jr. and Clark Custom Guns employee Randy Smith. The idea behind the gun was to keep weight in the forward part of the rifle to provide stability, improve accuracy over the factory, and to further evolve the Ruger® 10/22®. Jim Clark Jr, as well as other top shooters, went on to win multiple national level championships with the Clark 10/22®. Other companies since then have  gone on to further evolve this magnificent platform as well as further evolution from Clark, but that first old bull barrel 10/22® was born inside the Clark Custom shop over 35 years ago in Keithville, Louisiana.

We build on genuine Ruger® 10/22® and offer three purchase options:

  • Buy a complete gun from us
  • Send your gun for conversion
  • Purchase a barreled action if you have your own stock, or prefer one of our aftermarket stocks.

There is a $25.00 fee on conversions to return old barrels.
