The Tactical Solutions X-Ring VR Gen 2 Takedown Receiver is a precision-machined aluminum receiver built for Ruger 10/22 Takedown and Tactical Solutions X-Ring semi-automatic .22 LR rifles. It is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and is a foundation for a custom rimfire build rather than a complete rifle on its own. An integral Picatinny-style scope rail sits on top of the receiver, and a rear cleaning port gives direct access for maintenance.

Builders who use the X-Ring VR Gen 2 Takedown Receiver in a custom 10/22-style project generally report solid machining and a clean fit with factory Ruger parts, which matters most on a takedown design where the barrel and receiver have to line up consistently after being reassembled. A few owners mention needing to fit the trigger group carefully the first time, but most call the tolerances tight once broken in.

For field use, the configurable charging handle is a common favorite, since it lets left-handed shooters set the rifle up without buying a separate part. The lighter aluminum receiver is also noted as a nice contrast to a heavier factory takedown barrel, keeping the whole rifle easier to carry.

On value, this receiver sits at a premium next to a stock Ruger 10/22 receiver, and opinions split on whether the upgrade is worth it. Builders chasing a lighter, more accurate takedown rimfire tend to think it pays off, while casual plinkers sometimes say the factory receiver was good enough for their needs.
