The best bang for the buck would be a used one. Older ones are built with better fit and finish as well as metal trigger groups instead of plastic. Many 10-22 shooters would rather pay a little more for an older used gun than for a brand new one. If you really feel the need to get a new one, watch Big5 for their sale prices on them.

buy used
even if you pay more than a NEW one you are getting more

Sacramento Black Rifle has the "basic" blued 10/22 for $219.99.

I bought a brand new one for $199.99 at Wildsports on 10/23/11, not sure if they are still that price though.

Seeing the holiday deals at Turner's, I was about to purchase a 10/22 blued barrel. When I mentioned this to my co-worker he offered to sell me one he purchased 10 years ago. Its used ONCE and he's offering to sell it to me at about $250.00. Only difference is he has a stainless barrel LR.

I see a few people recommending buying used. What has changed over the years and what model years should I be looking at?

Newer models have plastic pieces on 'em. The older ones are all metal. Can't remember when the change took place. I think I recall seeing something about the early 90's?

Hey, I agree that buying a used 10/22 can be a great purchase because those things last forever and are a really solidly built design. I also just want to warn anyone who reads your post that the polymer (call it plastic if you want) trigger housing and guard are superior to the aluminum ones that ruger used to produce. They are way stronger and ruger demonstrates this with tests that they have in videos. I know a lot of people just hate plastic and I totally understand that thought, but, for my 10/22 I want the polymer trigger assembly (can anyone say Glock).
I'm not trying to bash your post, I just wanted to comment on the thought, happy shooting!

I can say "Crock", uh, I mean "glick"........Well I can say "1911". Yea, while plastic or polymer (a fancy word for plastic) might be as good as or better than metal in many aplications, many of us prefer metal guns. Then again, some of us even like to knap our flints and prime our pans. I'd be willing to bet that in a couple more generations, the prevailing opinion will be just like yours. Us old guys just need to die off first.

The only gun I've owned that blew up was a glock. I CAN say 1911!

In the 10/22 though, in fine with my plastic trigger housing, id prefer metal, but its no issue to me. I still own a glock, but it's my least favorite gun and I just have it sitting in my BOB.
