Nope. Even the best high-end custom 10/22s' such as the
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">L.H. Precision, LLC</span></span>, and after-market 10/22 receiver clones don't offer <span style="font-style: italic">built-in canted rails</span>. You can get receivers with built-in rails but so far they are all flat (0 degree) rails.
<span style="font-weight: bold">L.H.P.</span> manufactures a
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Custom 10/22 Action</span></span>, which can be manufactured from
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Fortal aluminum</span></span>, chromoly steel, or stainless steel. You can get the receiver with rear lug or without, and a flat (zero) rail on top or the "plain" top to accept any base available for the 10/22. These billet-machined, CNC'ed actions are badass with a price to match - $799.00 for steel and aluminum and $849.00 for SS. I spoke to Larry Huettel (L.H.P. owner) and he said that all parts are proprietary, so Ruger and aftermarket parts will not fit the L.H.P. receiver or bolt or vice versa. They seem to be the ultimate 10/22 receiver, though. I spoke with Larry (L.H. Precision owner), and at the time he was only building full rifles - mostly magnums, but he will build a .22LR if you order it.

The only other 10/22 receiver that incorporates a rear lug and is made of SS is the MOA Receiver. I built-up a custom "MOA 10/22" early this year. It uses an MOA 17-4 SS Receiver mated to a 19.25" Kidd barrel (threaded 3/4-16), Volquartsen CNC Bolt + CS Spring, Power Custom Guide Rod, Kidd Receiver Pins, and a Kidd Two-Stage Trigger. Sitting on top is an EGW Extended Picatinny Rail that I shortened to suit me. The action is bolted into a McMillan Sporter.
A 10/22 receiver with a built-in rear lug is really the way-to-go if you want to free-float the barrel, because the action needs more than the 10/22's single action screw on the front lug. Some people over at Rimfire Central have also pinned their receivers through stock towards the rear of the receiver. This less-than-ideal because the pin(s) can introduce lateral force and stress on the sides of the receiver as well as the somewhat thin sides of the stock.
