[SHOT 2024] Fletcher Rifle Works' OpenTop 11/22 Takedown Rifle
Fletcher Rifle Works announced an addition to their OpenTop 11/22 rifle series – the new OpenTop 11/22 Takedown Rifle. This latest model joins the company’s lineup, designed for enthusiasts seeking a blend of portability and performance. The OpenTop 11/22 Takedown Rifle integrates a Magpul X-22 Backpacker Stock with a 16.5″ Beyer Barrel, a blend that promises both hard-wearing functionality and portability. The rifle’s stock and barrel selection were tailored to maintain a light footprint without compromising durability.
The rifle distinguishes itself with features like the Ruger BX trigger and a skeletonized charging handle, which add to the overall shooting experience. These attributes are evidenced by the rifle’s polished bolt, which has been outfitted with an improved firing pin design for more reliable performance. Also notable is the shock absorbing recoil buffer pin, engineered to enhance shooter comfort.

Fletcher Rifle Works appears to have implemented a system that allows for easy transport and quick reassembly without losing sight of a steadfast construction when in use.
Weighing in at just 4 lbs, the compact OpenTop 11/22 Takedown Rifle is remarkably lightweight.
