Like I really needed another….

.22. I bought my first 10/22 tonight. Just couldn’t resist the price. I’m telling myself it’s for one of the grandkids.

The scope is a Viridian EON 3x9.

I’m old, but, 30 years ago I paid $129

I don't remember what I paid 25 years ago for one that was 25 years old then, but when you've been kicking yourself for being the only kid on the block without a 10/22, and a pre-warning label Deluxe Sporter shows up on the used rack, you do what's necessary.

Can’t go wrong.

I remember when they were much cheaper. I just never bought one. I have the Marlin Model 60 I got for Christmas many years ago and thought one .22 was enough.

Only in the past few years have I thought about getting a 10/22. Opportunity and money finally happened at the same time.

CDNN had some Ruger branded 25 rounders for about $20 not to long ago....

Can't go wrong! Both of my 10-22's are so old they were $69 brand new

It was about 2005 I picked up the 10/22 at Big-5 for 179.00. That was the first time I new of that they put them on sale.

Wow, my first one was a Sporter with one of the prettiest figured walnut stocks I own and it set me back $149. Back then you could find the standard model with a Walnut stock on sale for $99 all day long. My son still has my original, lots of them have passed through my hands over the years and I think I still have 3-4 of them, only one is stock. A stainless model that is a one hole shooter with Remington Thunderbolts.

Good score. No clue if the scope is worth a damn but the hard case is a nice addition.

Be careful, they're addictingly easy to upgrade, and way cheaper than ARs.

[Wambli Ska]

And still one of the most satisfying gun buys out there. Good score!

[Rugerfan]

Yeah, I don’t know about that scope either. Just looking through it in the store I wasn’t too happy but my son said it was alright for him. The “targets” were blurry for me until I figured out it was due to my progressive lens. I think if the scope was a little taller it might be better for me.

With that username, I would have assumed that you had 3 or 4 of them by now. I bought my first one for 68.00 in 77 and still have it, along with a couple more.

[Rugerfan]

I’ve thought that, too. For some reason that gun just never appealed to me. By the time I started changing my mind the prices had gone up.

[shotgunshooter3]

Definitely don't look up the auto bolt release mod, nor how easy it is to install Power Custom or Volquartsen replacement parts... Nope don't...

They are still a great deal on a bombproof proven design

[Rugerfan]

Lol!! Ok, I won’t!
