Ruger 10/22 sporter (thin) action

[Cshoemeister]

What is the difference between the Ruger 10-22 Sporter (thin) actions and the regular 10/22 actions. I am looking at a stock on Gunbroker and here is what is states

Ruger 10-22 Sporter (thin) actions. Will not fit the Target (.920") actions.

Welcome to the forum.
I’ve never heard the term thin action.
Would assume they just mean it’s a regular normal stock and NOT one that fits the bull / Target barrels

Yeah, I think someone is using incorrect terminology. There is no "target" action, but some refer to the fat barrels as such.

Yes, stock for Sporter contour barrel vs .920 diameter heavy barrel.

I'm no X-purt but I've not seen a difference in action profiles.

For a time, not sure how long, the 10/22Ts came with a different hammer from the standard models, but that is the only difference in 'actions' I can remember, and it certainly had nothing to do with stock fit.
