The Vision Behind the Build

There’s something sacred about a Ruger 10/22. For many shooters, it’s the rifle that started it all — lightweight, dependable, endlessly customizable. But this isn’t just a nostalgic tribute. It’s a purposeful rebuild that blends natural materials and timeless design with modern functionality.

The heart of this build is the WOOX Wild Man stock — crafted from American walnut and backed by an internal chassis for precision bedding. It strips away the plastic, the synthetic, and reconnects the shooter with the soul of the rifle.
This isn't just a .22. It's a statement.
