Export (German) 10/22 variation? Speed-X

[BlkHawk73]

Came across this and all additional searches result in pages from Germany. Find only very limited info on it. Anyone have any notes or info? Did I stumble across something new? Seems to be two stock variations.

Ruger 10/22 Speed-X:

New to me, but I don't keep very close track of variations.

Looks interesting... can't imagine needing a higher comb (looks adjustable) on that stock.

Wow, really cool. Why would these not be offered in U.S.? Is it just that some distributor needs to order a run?

Mount a scope with a 50mm objective, and you'll figure it out real quick. My paper-punching 10/22 has a Boyds target/varmint stock (long since discontinued), and it's perfect for a 40mm, but the comb isn't high enough for a 50mm.

edit.... I checked, and they still make it, but they changed the name to "Pro Varmint" - note the high parallel comb.
