Ruger 10/22 Price?

**jubil56** · 11-04-2009, 04:29 PM

I was just in Franklin Gun Shop looking at .22's. I was looking exclusively at used guns, I don't think a .22 needs to be NIB for my purposes (a little plinking and more importantly getting my wife interested in shooting). The staff was pretty helpful, albeit pushy. I was looking at a Marlin 60 that was 119, came with a 10 round mag, and was pre-drilled for a scope. The guy helping me told me I should stay away from the Marlin because their customer service is wishy-washy and that I should go with a 10/22 b/c Ruger has a lifetime warranty. He picked up one that was very clean, very nice, but 249. It seemed a little high to me especially because it was not pre-drilled for a scope and did not include a mag (unlike almost every other .22 on the rack). Is 249 way too much? What should I expect to pay for a decent 10/22?

All depends on which model it is.

The basic carbine with birch stock and one mag is $197 at WalMart or $199.99 at Dicks, it also comes with Weaver scope mount (which snobs say to throw away).

Some current 10/22 models list for up to about $450 MSRP.

I didn't realize that any 10/22's were made without scope receiver holes, though, maybe it's a really old one.

You could ask on rugerforums.com is you don't get the info you need here.

My 1978 10/22 came tapped for a scope mount! I'm pretty sure it's standard on all models.

Buy a new one at Dick's or Wal-Mart...at least you'll get a MAGAZINE with it for your $200.

I must have just missed the drill holes for the scope. I'm very new at this whole buying guns thing so I apologize for my ignorance.

The 4 holes have place holding flush screws in them (or should), a quick glance might not notice them.

Jubil, shop around. The Dick's ad in last Sunday's paper has 4 .22 rifles on sale for $200 or less. Two of those have scopes.

Last November I purchased the 10/22 special 22 inch barrel stainless at Wal Mart for a little over $220.00 if I remember right.has the nice checkered sporter type stock with a rubber butt pad.Thats pretty reasonable for a new Ruger.seems where your looking its a little high on the price.

I'd go with a used one. At least with the older ones you get a metal trigger group housing and barrel band.
