I came across the video below for a new Ruger 10/22 which seems to want to compete with the Henry AR-7. I already have three .22LR rifles but wouldn't mind having a 10/22 in my collection. The 10/22 Takedown seems like it's built pretty well. I'm just not sure I would need a rifle that splits into two pieces. What does everyone else think?

Wow. I like it.

 

 

Looks just like mine, except for the missing takedown markings.

I think *need* is a very subjective word.

exactly...

 

Personally , It wouldnt fit my needs for a range gun. But people who camp and need something compact might like this, or it'd be good for a bug out bag when the zombies come.

I'm sure its a great rifle. However, I think the AR-7 is still a better backpacking rifle, just my opinion.

I love my 10/22 and this may compete with the Henry.

What would be really neat is if they come up with a Hogue stock version of some kind.

 

I have wanted a Marlin "Papoose" and this might be a better bet, as I personally prefer the rotary magazine. What are these going for, by the way?

 

What would be cool if there was a conversion for older ones to make them takedown... Maybe something that bolts on and a new barrel... Of course, then, Ruger wouldn't be able to sell more rifles.

It looks like a nice idea! Larger and heavier than the AR-7 or 70PSS, but I bet it is more accurate out at 100 yds.

All depends on how much you are willing to pack.

 

But, I prefer lever actions and might finally have a bead on a Marlin TDS .

 

I must take something out of the "safe" so I am thinking about my Marlin 70PSS Papoose.

 

Was going to put it up on Gunbroker, but if anyone local has an interest I'll post it here.

How much for the Marlin 70PSS? I am interested.

I need one in 16" bull barrel stainless

Also interested in the papoose.
