Ruger 10/22's are so cool
Just got one in made in 1965, the second year of production. That's 54 years ago. Heck it's C&R eligible. And it's an International model with the full length walnut stock. I don't need one but I like it.

Come on now Ricci, don't be a, well a,,,,, post some pics of it..... Not all of us are interested in the semi auto garbage that most people give you to consign.... 
Just saying that some of us like the old school cool stuff that made the new stuff so popular.. like that model 57 that you have going on..0 -
is there anything more versatile than a 10-22,,,,, 0 -
I've owned a few accurate 10/22's, but my current one, a stainless take down, I can't hit a bull in the ass with it.
I even bought the Ruger BX trigger for it.
Waste of money.0 -
"but my current one, a stainless take down,"
I'm not sure why anyone would expect any sort of accuracy from a platform the utilizes a slip fit barrel to receiver connection especially if the sighting equipment is an optic mounted to the receiver.0 -

Are you going to put yours up on the Auction side?0 -
Older ones are better and kinda cool. Newer ones are functional at best. I said for years I wouldn't own a new one as they are for the most part cheaply made and accuracy was plinking level at best. I ended up with a 15 year old standard carbine last year that was about a 2 inch gun at 50 yards on a good day. Replaced the stock, barrel, trigger, scope mounts, etc, and now it shoots 1/2 inch at 50. So I guess I am glad they are versatile enough to just use the basic action and get what you want built. There is a reason all the parts I took off have no real value. If I found a good deal on a 30+ year old one I would be tempted but anything newer never again. Been there done that. Bob 0 -

I am. I am working on that right now.0 -
Bought a Ruger 10/22 T some years back.....stainless heavy hammer forged barrel, laminated stock.
Great shooter and accurate ........ can hit a steel "T" post at 100 yards any day of the week.0 -
I've got one also, a 10-22 International made in 1967.
I got it at a gun show near Albany NY in 1974 and overpaid for it at the time,
but I couldn't find one anywhere else so I parted with $75.00 and had it ever since.
There is something about it that just makes it a "perfect" little rifle.0 -
I have one that somebody put a model 52 Winchester barrel on.... great shooter. 0 -
That sounds like a lot of work. 0 -
saw one years ago with and "international or european" style stock on it ???????? never could find one...????? 0 -
have a mannlicher, full stock, international style NIB, but this was a little different ??? 0 -
I gave both my sons one many years ago , I have maybe six ( not sure ) for a long time they were my poor mans AR . I changed stocks ,barrels . triggers, added on taccool items the extended mags and so on . still fun guns to tinker with and shoot . I have one looks like a m1 carbine among the group
one thing I did not see coming was Ruger going to a plastic trigger housing . now the old metal trigger setup , especially the raw aluminum versions ( some call it SS ) cost about 1/2 what a entire rifle goes for :shock: even the blue ones ( trigger group ) bring 40 to 50.00 in decent shape .0 -
But is it works clas? 0 -
yes, it is a wolrs clas plinker. 0 -
another 20 years and the dems are sure going to start hating the C&R exemption 8-) 0 -
I have several 10/22's but this one is my favorite "fun gun". I converted it into an M-1 "clone". 0 -
It's a great firearm. 0 -
One of the only guns I own that probably needs cleaning once a year. I also own the model with the full length stock. 0 -
I've had or have at least 12 10/22s, but the two I have never thought about selling or trading are my first one bought new In 1976 (200th Year), and the International made in 1983. The 200th Year carbine had accounted for a lot of squirrels and rabbits, not to mention several pests around the house. The International get shot maybe three or four times a year, but I have promised it to my Grandson, so it stays. I have a couple more in the safe that I have less than $125 in. Always keep a big box of magazines handy. 0 -
