Jailed a Ruger 10/22 at Big 5

[majtom94]

The world is coming back to normal. Guns coming into stores, starting to see some ammo.

Stock rifle that I just wanted. Third 22lr rifle, I got a disease. LOL.

Your not alone. Congrats

How much is Big 5 asking for one? Was it available that day or did you have to wait for one?

[Lead Waster]

Majtom94, were you there in Sunnyvale Big5, around lunch time? And as you finished DROS, some Chinese guy was standing behind you? If you were, then that was me, and I DROS'ed a 10/22 Takedown right after you.

Did you get a take down or a regular one?

It was more expensive than it should have been. When I went on the waiting list, they said $350, which is already gouged higher than pre-panic. Then when I went to pay for it, it was $390. Ugh, I got ripped off, BUT I was still willing to pay because I asked them to put me on the list, and they called me after months of waiting on Friday and held it for me. So I sort of felt I was obliged...and well, honestly, I just sort of wanted one.


Oh, I'm assuming OP was on the waiting list. I was there months ago and asked to be put on the list for a TD model, and also normal model, just in case. If I hadn't confirmed I wanted it, it would have gone to the next person on the waiting list. Having said that, there were like 14 people on the list ahead of me, so the 10/22's must have trickled in to satisfy those wait listers.

After being put on that wait list, I went to a Big5 in San Mateo to be put on their list, the manager said "There is no list and there are no 10/22s. We'll likely not see one for 2 years, they just aren't taking orders". Er, right...then why did Sunnyvale get some, and why is there one in jail for me now, a few months later?

I have a 795 (which are still on shelves, btw) which is awesome .... except it jams sometimes. So I wanted a TD for it's novelty and my lack of self control.

[majtom94]

The Ruger was on the shelf since Friday is what I was told. I spotted it but had to double check with manager if I was really seeing a 10/22. Manager's remark that its the first one he has seen in six months and Ruger didn't even raise the price, $280. Could not get him to give me a discount...oh well

That baby has such nice furniture, I had to take it home.

As for Reminton 795, if you are having trouble with a jam, clean the mag really well or purchase new one at wallmart, cause those run like a clock; you should not be having a problem.

Sunnyvale Big 5 is where I bought...mgr told me he had sold a take down model also.

Better start looking for mags, they're a little scarce for 10/22 (the new California "assault weapon")

And just to give you a little lust:



The 10/22 is probably the most modded' rifle ever.

I was at Reno and they had the black stock 10/22 for sale @ $215. Would be nice to able to buy and go home with it.

Ah, OK, it was you. I might have bought the regular one rather than the takedown had I come in that morning instead. Strange though, as I was on the waiting list for months and you managed to walk in and swoop one away!

I mean, I got my takedown as requested, but there were a lot of people on that list and the manager DID call me, so I had assumed she called a bunch of other folks too.

You got lucky!

My Marlin (not Remington) 795 has 6 magazines, two brand new. I'd get jams if I loaded only 2 rounds in a magazine (that was course of fire at an Appleseed clinic ... 2 and 8 round mags so you shoot 10 rounds with a reload in between. But I'd get one shot ... jam, then eject and swap mags...so I'd stick 9 in the 8 rounder. Odd that when loaded with more than 2-3 rounds, it jammed less, maybe the positioning of the rounds when loaded to more rounds and then fired??)

I went to my local big5 and the manager told me there was a waitlist of 30 ppl for the 10/22 TD model. She also told me they get about 2 in stock every month.

Not that it helps you (unless you travel so SoCal) but I've seen TD's in a few Big 5's in Orange and San Diego Counties. Maybe ask for an in store transfer?

I think the TD is more novelty than anything. OK, so it packs away nice for hiking if you are hiking somewhere that you can shoot it. But other than living in a bug out bag, I think it's not as useful as a normal 10/22. Still, I paid slightly gougy prices to get one.

I'll just have to wait a year to get extra mags for it!

I think I'll leave it with iron sights.

I bought my first 10/22 at the end of January and went to shopruger.com to place an order for 5 mags. I check my order about every other day for the status and it reads "in progress". It will be 3 full months on the 5th of May. I did place an order on hawktecharm.com and received a few and at a cheaper price than my order on the ruger website.

Congrats on the recent purchase. Ruger 10-22 rifles are a ton of fun. I am working on building a bull barrel, highly accurate 10-22 for cheap target practice. When using my buddies, I could pick off a egg at 100 yrds with his.

10-22

Congrats!! my 4 year old daughter just started shooting (with lots of help) so dad bought her a 10-22 just the other day. Ammo Bros had them for $219, which is a fair price.

Of course she now wants a pink stock....

I guess the 10/22 TD is much easier to find in SoCal. I've seen several, and bought one at Torrance Turners for a sale price of $329.

Now if only .22LR ammo was more available. Which won't matter if the 10/22 is reclassified as an AW in 2014. Can't shoot it now, won't be able to shoot it later. Sigh. Hopefully at the least, mag lock devices won't be outlawed so I can at least shoot my 10/22 at local ranges. Fast mag changes are not a high priority with me with a 10/22.
