Ruger 10/22 synthetic 20" on sale at turners for $209.98

Heh, was gonna tell you to get the cheapest one, cuz you're gonna ditch the barrel and stock pretty quickly when you look at all the aftermarket goodies that turn it into a tackdriver.

kinda regret it already... but I like the SS finish and I wouldn't save any money if I bought the base model. Oh well.


I already looked at the remington stock, so sexy.

Too bad there isn't a turners in the bay area...

Just picked up a Carbine on Saturday for $249 out the door (sale price+10% off+DROS+tax). I knew I wanted the cheapest one with the incredible amount of aftermarket goodies available for this rifle. I ordered a black Hogue Overmold stock today cut for the bull barrel and am planning on getting a bull barrel when I decide what I want. Still need to look into the 16 inch vs 18 inch vs 20 inch pros/cons, steel vs. aluminum, and fluted vs non-fluted. I won't be buying anything else for a bit and am going to run the stock barrel for a while in the Hogue overmold for the bull barrel as my funds need to recover. The second I get the gun the stock wood barrel will be coming off and going on eBay. Pandaluv did you get yours at the Sunnyvale Big 5?

Franchise opportunity?

Transfer fee kills all deals
Ideal Acceptable transfer fee should be $10

They should just create a new FFL classification like a C&R but for modern guns. Get yourself preapproved and order whatever you like. But that's at least 20 years away if it ever happens at all.

I picked up my basic 10/22 from the Sports Authority in Concord when they had it on sale for 199 and Big5 had it for 229. This a little more then a year ago.

No reason for buyers remorse. Even at full price you have a nice gun that will save you money (rimfire vs center fire) and give you a lifetime of enjoyment. Take it to the range and shoot it before you make any upgrades. I've owned my 10/22s for years before doing anything to them. All my 10/22s are stock except for one. I added an ATI stock to one of my 10/22s so that the LOP can be adjusted for kids or adults. + or - $60 or so is nothing in the long run so don't let your purchase price discourage you from enjoying your gun.

Riflegear in Fountain Valley charges $10 for face to face and then there is the $25 DROS. Pretty good!

Yeah, I guess I'm spoiled by my local GS.... I have a SR22 Ruger rifle in jail at the moment. I just checked it out the other day. Feels solid! Will give a range report. Enjoy your new gun!

[PandaLuv]

Just bought SR22 as well.

Sigh, I hate when I get gun fever.

SR22 pistol or rifle?

[PandaLuv]

Pistol.

[trob]

good choice. I think the stainless is the best platform to build on. wont rust, scratches dont show up, etc.

Welcome to the addiction.

Nice! Those sr22 pistols look really nice. I've been buying bricks of .22lr in anticipation of picking up my ruger 10/22...it also helps with the waiting...and would like a 22 pistol as well because getting 500 rounds for less than 20 bucks is nice
