Ruger 10/22 Need help

Featured Replies

Ah yes.. the international model. I think that's what i have. Except mine is stainless with the full length stock. I don't remember exactly what the price was.. but I want to say in the 3's.. like $329. It's the first gun I ever bought. Got it at Cabelas.

I have the intentional model. I intentionally bought it to send let downrange. That was my intent. ;)

ok so Davis shooting has a ruger 10/22 older style with the metal trigger guard, with a no name scope @ 4 power that they are selling for 250 what we thinking, it worth it. It is the full wood stock, not a laminate stock either. I think I might take a ride and go look at it. Malsua said it looks like its in really good condition, anything specific I should be looking for??

 

Thanks

Matt

The action was smooth, it had a nice weight to it. There was some schmutz on the breech but that'll clean right up. It's not like you can shoot a .22 barrel out but I didn't inspect the barrel.

 

Definitely worth a look. It's the intermediate model, not the rock bottom one so it's got a better butt plate instead of that awful plastic plate. It also has a 4x scope...shrug, even a cheapy with rings will run you 40-50 bucks. All and all, it was a reasonable price. Even if you could find one on an auction site, you're stuck paying transfer fees. You're not going to find one for much less. I say buy it if you like the looks/features. It's not like you couldn't turn around and sell it for that right away.

 

There's also value in having a thing. Would you rather have something today that you can shoot the rest of the year or have it in November and save $40?

LOL I actually made my mind up after I posted this. I called to make sure they were open late, as soon as company leaves I'm heading up there to buy it along with some ammo for it and a case of shotgun shells :) There goes the credit card bill LOL

 

So we might have to have a .22 tournament tomorrow

::Sigh:: Now I want one too. :roll: Get the wood one just in case you need to whip the stock around to smack someone. :twisted:

 

Maybe put a metal plate on the end if it doesn't have one.

If your going to Mod the hell out of a 10/22 buy the base model /cheapest,the only thing Ruger left on my 10/22 is the receiver.

well it turns out it was listed as 299 and it didn't have a clip

so i got em down to 250 and they threw in a brand new clip for free

 

I still think I paid 50 more than I wanted to but I still can't complain it came with a scope and a brandie new clip so I'm still happy. I do need to give it a little cleaning so any tips on cleaning one of these would be appreciated

 

Thanks

The guy told me when I was there that it comes with a MAGAZINE. The MAGAZINE wasn't in the rifle but he'd throw in a MAGAZINE. In other words, he'd add a MAGAZINE for free. After all that gun is pretty useless without a MAGAZINE. I mean, you load cartridges in the MAGAZINE then you put the MAGAZINE into the gun and shoot it until the MAGAZINE is empty. Then you reload you MAGAZINE again and do it all over. Some people even get a couple spare MAGAZINES. Having one MAGAZINE is never enough. Always have spare MAGAZINES

By the way, grats. New guns are fun :)

so i jewed em down to 250

Excuse me???

Jeez you guys are so touchy - can't you see he meant to type CHEWED?? I mean like the c and the h are so close to the J that his fingers didn't know how to distinguish it... :?

Yeah, it starts innocently enough... a couple of misstruck keys here, a slipped comment there, and before you know it, cattle cars and "oven talk". Best to nip it in the bud. I'm too old to build pyramids.

I think y'all should have him retrieve some clays for you tomorrow. :lol::lol:

Terribly sorry if I upset anyone with my post. My bad.

We're currently meeting in secret and working on your penance. No details yet, but it will definitely involve a catheter, crushed glass and a male llama.

 

Be afraid, be very afraid.

  • Author

ehhh it can't be any more painful than what I am dealing with right now, so I think I should be able to handle it :)

Ooh, he specified the MALE llama. Be thankful it wasn't an Alpaca.

Matt, there is even talk about a bris, :shock: whether needed or not I would stay away for a while.

there is even talk about a bris,

That was one of the early suggestions, but nobody knows a blind Moyel with a dull knife and Parkinson's.

oh boy, now im offended were talking about parkinson's tisk tisk

Whelp she's home and been given a good bath. By golly that thing was dirty as all hell. When I first started tearing it apart I'm like what kind of pos did I buy. But after I got it all cleaned up its in fairly good condition. The barrel looks spotless but I'm blind so then again who knows. The inside of the reciever where the "bolt" is worn a tit bit but it should suite me just fine.

 

We'll see how well it groups tomorrow when I unleash a brick on it.

 

edit- that was the easiest gun to disassemble. But I will be adding a cleaning rope to my needed list of supplies b/c doing it with a brass rod SUCKED!

Here's my K10/22 with his little brother. Both shoot very well.

Even though the pistol is the "Hunter" model, both are bull barrel guns and made for target shooting, you would not want to carry either out in the field all day :lol:

Kinda a little skurred to bring this topic back up but just wanted to give an update and ask a question.

 

Had the gun back out again and its shooting fairly well. I need to get a good rest to get the scope finally dialed in and see what kinda groupings its going to give me.

 

I also looked up the serial number and it seems it was built between 1989 and 1990 so its a little on the older side :)

 

Quick question, what does everyone use to take care of an all wood stock???

Scott's Liquid Gold - wood cleaner & preservative, available at all grocery stores.

  • Author

Awesome, I'll pick some up today. Definitely want to put something on that wood stock before it starts becoming all crummy.
