July 24, 200917 yr Ok guys I need help narrowing down my choices. This is going straight from rugers site, ordering it online, and then showing up to Ramsey outdoor and walking out with me gun. So here are the 3 choices I'm down to. http://ruger.com/Firearms/FAProdView?model=1103&return=Y I can get this one for 194.96 http://ruger.com/Firearms/FAProdView?model=1140&return=Y This one for 223.37 http://ruger.com/Firearms/FAProdView?model=1151&return=Y And this one I think I can get for 194.96 They all have the 18-1/2 inch barrel. I think I am leaning towards the synthetic with the stainless steel barrel. I am actually going to go to Ramsey tomorrow and see what price they will give me if I just walk in and not order it through ruger online though. Matt
July 24, 200917 yr I think there's a Walmart special stainless like the middle one. A trip to PA wouldn't be a bad idea - ammo and guns...
July 24, 200917 yr I would go with the classic.. blue and wood. I shot my friends stainless/synthetic and the stock was just too light for me, although that was an older model with the "cut-out" stock. Mine is stainless with a Manlicher style stock. I got it at Cabelas, I think it's a special edition or something, I haven't seen another like it. I wasn't too fond of it when I bought it, but it grew on me!
July 24, 200917 yr Author haha silly me no I skipped all of them HAHA If I can get one in the 250ish range I'd be happy. So if you got something laying around I'd be more than happy to support a forum member PK. yeah I would go to pa to get one, but I want one for this weekend to play so I am impulse buying HAHAH
July 24, 200917 yr Author I really do dig the wood model I must say. If they offered a wood model in stainless barrel I would be all over it but they only offer a stainless bull barrel. But then again my rem 700 is wood with stainless barrel that would be cute if my guns matched HA I might go for the wood and black barrel, it really comes down to what they have in stock actually.
July 24, 200917 yr Author not too crazy bout that stock but do love the stainless barrel. But that is just out of my price range though. That gunbroker add did just remind me of something. how terrible are the new rugers with that plastic trigger guard. Would it be worth me trying to find a used ruger instead of buying new because of this?
July 24, 200917 yr I am looking for a used one with the metal trigger for a new project. I prefer the metal.
July 24, 200917 yr Author Man I am striking out all over the place. I called Ramsey they had em in stock but qouted me a price as the same one as I could from a vendor on the forums so I'd rather go with him. Also they had no blazer brass only american eagle lame. Called gander mtn. got put on hold for 15 minutes and said screw this. I don't do well with holds. Anyone else got any ideas close to my area to go gun shopping. Also does wal mart in NY sell pistol ammo?

July 24, 200917 yr Author gave metzlers a call they were like 15 dollars more expensive than what I've found so far BUT they did have blazer brass .40s&w in stock at 20 bucks a box. so much for one stop shopping. Looks like I'll be ordering a 10/22 in from one of our vendors ohh well no .22 shooting this weekend

July 24, 200917 yr Author I'm off to a gun store in a couple minutes what type of ammo do you prefer for you .22's???? Mal, is your model 5 a .22lr??? If so let me know why type of ammo you like and ill pick some up.
July 24, 200917 yr I'm off to a gun store in a couple minutes what type of ammo do you prefer for you .22's???? Mal, is your model 5 a .22lr??? If so let me know why type of ammo you like and ill pick some up. My Model 5 is .22lr. Don't worry about ammo. I have at least 3000 rounds to burn through. It's pretty accurate...I've got the scope roughly tuned in...it might need some slight windage and elevation adjustments...and I mean ever so slight. No more than a few ticks either way.
July 25, 200917 yr Author If you insist, then I got the clays for this time and next time then. Fair is fair so don't argue So now the decision is, what model do I order in. Do I get the wood with black, the synthetic with black, or syn with silver, or do I really spring and get the wood with silver hmmmm. BTW mal, how do you like your model 5, thats a remington right??
July 25, 200917 yr Cheyenn Mth Outf had a used 10/22 international for sale. They are sweet looking if you want to keep it stock.
July 25, 200917 yr Author International, what in the world is that, never even heard of it. I'm actually looking into either a remington or a Ruger more to the ruger side though but I am open to ideas lol
July 25, 200917 yr Author well now that is an interesting looking gun. Do you happen to know how much it was?
July 25, 200917 yr $250? I did not look at it I was calling around looking for a used one. I would have bought it if I was not doing a build and it is in good shape.
July 25, 200917 yr Argh, you people are making me want to go and buy one NOW! looks like I will be buying a birthday prez for myself somehwere
July 25, 200917 yr Author thats the way to be matty. Buy presents for yourself, and forget everyone else. It is what I do LOL
July 25, 200917 yr You watch, Davis shooting will have one. I'll ring ya if they do My only complaint about my Remington model 5 is the 5 round magazine. I like it for accuracy, look and feel.
July 25, 200917 yr Author If they do, omg I will drop everything I am doing and meet you there LOL I'm assuming you havn't had jamming issues with it huh, when I was looking a few months back I heard that was a complaint of them so I wasn't sure. I do like how they look and their price tag and if they shoot accurate too I might be sold on a remington, since every other long gun I have is a reminton why not keep it in the family.
