Picked up a Ruger 10/22 tonight

Featured Replies

Nice! Always wanted a 10/22, duno why I never got around to picking one up.

I just picked up a 10/22 take down last week... haven't shot it yet. But Congrats! Now that i see your pic i'm Def gonna have to add the handgun into the mix too lol

 

Though i saw his email to late.... Tony from TJ Sporting Arms may still have a takedown in stock for a really good price! If anyone is interested.

I've been looking at getting one also, whats everyone paying for one? I was hoping to pick one up on sale if possible

It's a fine rifle. Now get the 10/22 Tec Sights for it and turn it into a tack driver.

DiPop I have seen them start from about $215

Is the takedown worth the extra $$? I dont really need it to come apart for transport? does it offer anything else over the other models? FYI i love that stainless model.

I shot this at the BH tonight for the first time. I love this rifle. Going to take my wife with me tomorrow for another round. I have a feeling she is going to want a pink one after tomorrow.

Other than the compactness when taken down, it is easier to clean the barrel... good thing with a .22, if you ask me.

 

I bought it for the fact that it does fit nice in that little bag (I'll leave everything together, and just grab a box of ammo to be ready to shoot it). I have a Marlin 60 that my father bought me as a kid, as well as my Spikes .22 upper for my AR. I was interested with the AR7, but you cannot compete with the 10/22 aftermarket. Have an auto bolt release on the way and a few magazines following behind it.

 

If I just needed a .22, I might go with a standard model, but it would be a tough decision after seeing the Takedown (being stainless is a big plus for it, as well). To be clear, this purchase was not needed at all... just decided to pick it up.

I may be stating something you already know - but here goes. Get a automatic bolt release.

 

It makes the rifle much easier to use and you get experience taking the trigger group apart. Fun stuff.

thank you for this! that bolt release is a huge pain in the ass.

Its a cheap enough part but if you dont want to wait/pay to order, you can easily modify your stock one with a little grinding on the large hole. Compare your stock plate, which will have a sort of kidney shaped hole, to the photo in the link and hit it with a dremel to round out the inner radius and the bolt will release when you pull the charging handle. Plenty of links on the web detailing the mod.

I have 2 10/22's. they are great guns. I'd second the tech sights reccomendation above, they are great sights (if you plan on using iron sights). 10/22's can be tack drivers with a scope as well.

Get a BSA scope at Dicks for $60 and you can hit a gnat's ass.
