I bought my 10/22 in May of 1977 at The Grant Boy's in Costa Mesa CA. It was $47 & change out the door. I was 16 and I don't think I even needed an adult with me to purchase it. Probably the best $47 I ever spent. Like yours, it has been all over the lower 48 & even spent a summer in Alaska & British Columbia in '82. Out of all the firearms I've owned, it has remained the most reliable, dependable and fun gun, as well as the entry-level rifle for all 8 of my kids. It simply rocks.
I have a Remington Speedmaster 552 and I love it... Just got a new Ruger 10/22 RPT 1284 and this is the ultimate .22!!! Love your videos, you should have a TV show !!! Thanks again
Dude...if they brought back the Ruger .44 Deerstalker and made a 20+ round BX mag and the aftermarket companies got behind it they would sell like hotcakes. I'd be first in line.
Great video! I have a 10/22 with a stainless steel, 16" threaded barrel. Absolutely love it. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Practical, reliable, accurate, and just a *joy* to shoot.
this is probably the first gun ill buy when i get a licence, non-restricted firearm here in Canada so i wont need an RPAL permit, and there is a store nearby that sells them for $200!
just used my dad's fuger carbine today for the first time ever. decided to look it up on youtube and see what people have said about it and found your channel. lots of information, and enjoyed it very much!! thanks for your time :)
I have a similar relationship with the Ruger 10/22. I got it when I was about 11 years old from my father after I demonstrated responsibility with air rifles and BB guns. I still have it and will never part with it. I may love many of the pistols/rifles/shotguns that have come my way, but my 10/22 will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for posting this video. :)
I've had my 1022 since 1986 and absolutely love it, I have put upwards of 10,000 rounds thru it with no problems whatsoever! I'm currently using it as my summer project, upgrading the stock, trigger barrel ect. Absolutely love this rifle!
I picked this up as my first rifle last christmas. Now this will also be my rifle to keep forever. Thanks for prompting me to buy this rifle through this video nutnfancy
Thanks, man. I'm just getting into rifles and have been considering 10/22. I needed info on capacity options and you were very helpful. I like the idea of putting one of those low profile red-dot sights on it if it can take one. Planning to use it as primary home defense by my chair with either Aguila ammo or Stinger.
I just bought my first Ruger 10/22 and cant wait to shoot it!! I was goin for the Mossberg Tactical .22 but couldnt find it anywhere so i decided to go with the Ruger 10/22 and im SOOOO glad i did. From every thing i've read, this is the best .22 money can buy and everyone should own one! 3 more days til it fires for the first time!
Hey Nut'n Fancy, because of your videos, I bought another 10-22!!! I had one before that I "gifted" to my uncle some years ago. It had the classic wood stock. Thanks to your videos, I went out and bought another one, this time the one with the black polymer stock, I LOVE IT!!! My girlfriend (she has incredible eyesight, I have 20/20 but she is like the bionic woman) was hitting a 6 inch "Shoot-n-See" target with IRON sights- OUT THE BOX- at 100 YARDS!!!!
My cousin taught me how to shoot, and squirrel hunt in southern Maryland on one of these awesome rifles. Since then I have put A LOT of led down range on a variety of both military and privately owned firearms. The Ruger 10.22 is definitely a favorite. They just became available again where I live in Washington state so like a giddy school boy, I ran to the sports store and I got one! I am looking forward to teaching my son and daughter how to shoot in the next year.
Sorry nutnfancy, this is off topic but what is the guitar tune playing at the beginning? I'd like to know the name all I can look it up and learn it. Also I want a 10/22 really bad. I love cotton tail and the shotgun wrecks too much meat!
These are the videos that helped convince me to pick out a 10-22 as my first fiream. A brand new one with the new factory extended magazine release, and the wooden stock. Oh hell yeah.
also if you have an interest in pistols you can check out the ruger sr22. got that as a first gun and its awesome. good for practicing trigger control and other shooting fundamentals
Nice Vid. Brought back a few memories. My first Ruger 10/22 was bought by my Dad in 1964 for my 9th Birthday. It was a tack driver using cheap remington bulk box golden bullets. It was completely stock with open sights. I sold it in 1979 (With much regret) when I joined the Air Force. I now own 8 Ruger 10/22's in different configurations.
those are some very nice rifles. i personally, for a .22, use a Stevens Model 300 gray synthetic, very reliable gun, and love to shoot it. your family looks like a great family to go and shoot with for an afternoon. im only 13 myself, and i intend to grow much older with my Stevens .22, its great to see people such as yourself showing your children and keeping the hunting/shooting traditions alive. good luck in hunting and anything else in your future.
Thank you for your reviews!!! I just bought my first gun and it's a 10/22. Your review (and handling in the store) helped me make up my mind. Thanks so much and keep up the good job!
My dad and I made a similar deal. I got mine when I was 10 years old. I've had other guns...sold them. But this one I've always kept. It's a great gun. Lots of memories go with it.
Hi nutn, i dont know why but im gonna tell u about 2 or so years ago i watched this video. Because of you i bought a ruger 10/22 and yes 2 butler creek steel lips. I was 12 or 13 at the time and i am so glad you put this video up. I researched months and this video is what set in stone that i eanted the ruger. Thanks again. Perry
my dad bought me my ruger 10/22 when I was seven. I love it. I'll never get rid of it. I don't know how many tens of thousands of rounds I've run through it. Wonderful gun. Glad to see nutnfancy's review of it. Every friend (among a small percentage of liberal gun owners) I get out to the range loves this gun, and I always encourage them to get their own. Great gun, great review.
Just found your site today while researching the Ruger 10/22. I really appreciate the information that you provided in this video. I look forward to viewing your other videos for other useful tips and useful information.
I bought one of these at wallyworld years ago. I picked up a butler creek 25 round mag and shot it today for the first time in years. I'm falling in love with it again.
My Ruger 10/22 was bought in 2006 and was in a house fire and after being reconditioned and rebuilt it shoots great i did a reveiw on it also. great video by the way
My previous comments are in response to comments made by others. My own statement is this: Thanks, NTP for all the great vids. I have 2 10/22's and find them to be loads of fun to shoot! I've customized on for fun and get tons of looks of envy every time I pull it out. My other is an older International model with the Mannlicher stock--beautiful! Anyone who wants a fun gun or varmint killer needs to at least consider this fine weapon. It will give years of pleasure.
Hey NutnFancy! I'm 13 and recently, using your videos, convinced my dad to buy me a 10/22! Yesterday we went over to the gun show and he bought me a shiny new toy. I was so happy, thanks NutnFancy!!!!!
Dear NutnFancy, I saw your video a while ago and have finally come to purchase one myself yesterday. Seems to be a very happy pattern of learning about all kinds of things from your videos and then getting to enjoy them again upon happy ownership. Thank you for your continued hard work and contribution to NutnFancy! Cheers from California, -Warren
I always had reliabilty with 10/22s. Admittedly they don't do well with Remington ammo but they eat CCI like candy. That's just my experience. BTW, I got my son a 10/22. Nut-n-Fancy, I'm glad you mentioned the Deer slayer! I have one of those too. There's no chasing a wounded deer down with that one. Flat shooting easy in the first 50yds, open sights, accurate. They drop where you pop em.
just put a millett DMS1 on mine yesterday and ordered the same flash hider, got the tapco stock in desert brown and i got a really nice two tone color! thanx for all the great ideas nutn, keep it up!!!
nutnfancy thanks for all your help its greatly appreciated. Im sure there are a lot of perks from what you do, and I bet its a lot of fun, but the bottom line is it i know it takes a whole lot of work. Thank you for all the invested in TNP!
Thank's for the video! I am going to purchase my first 10/22 to use in my first CMP rimfire rifle league! This is going to replace my old Marlin 81 DL that I tired using tonight for the first time tonight that was a epic failure shooting prone. Keep up the awesome videos my friend!!
I've got my PAL (Canadian gun license) student guide open on my lap, the course is next weekend and some time in the next few months I'll have my own reliable 10/22 friend - this is exactly what I needed to get a little more familiar with my soon to be new family member :)
That's awesome you held on to those rifles! Most people would have probably sold it for some easy cash sometime throughout their life. I still own a 22 rifle and a few shotguns my dad bought me when I was a young kid. I would never get rid of them for anything!
This is an awesome vid especially since I'm in the market for a 22 and have come to lean towards the Ruger. I will be watching part 2 soon. Thanks again for your info and time.
hey nutnfancy, your reviews are very informative. Today i put in an order for my very first rifle, the ruger 10/22. I will be getting it next week and cannot wait to shoot. Thanks for all the great info!!
Thank you Nutnfancy for your awesome review on the Ruger 10/22. My best buddy bought one and turned it into a tactical fun plinking machine like you did. I will buy one to in the next months and do the same. Just a outstanding rifle. Greets from europe :-)
Although your video was produced in 2009, I think it is full of very good info (as nutnfancy always is). Yesterday I purchased my 10/22 with synthetic stock. After watching your review, I immediately went to Buttler Creek and ordered two steel lips magazines. Good job guy...we need more guys like you out there.
I have a 10/22 identical to yours (the wood one). My dad bought for me for Christmas and was my first real gun. I still have it. Mine was bough in the 80's maybe early 90's and yes it was $100. They sell for $200 now. The only thing I have done happened just last year and it was the addition to the trigger style mag drop like that camo 10/22 has. Except mine is curved in the same manner that the trigger is. These are awesome guns with lots of mods and they are easy to work on.
Nice vid! I still have mine that I bought new in 1972. Stock except for a Bushnell scope. It still has no trouble producing 3inch groups at 50 yards. I've never had to do anything to it but clean it. I'm taking my 13 year old niece target shooting for her very first time this next weekend, she's just as excited as she can be, and the old 10/22 is coming along, of course.
I finally got to shoot mine today... Holy mother of god, these things rock... Running 75 rounds a pop with 3 BX-25's... Freaking amazing. Had that thing hot as hell, and it was perfectly fine... I'm sure this will still be around when I have kids in many, many years... (I'm 13)
The 10/22 is by far the best rifle for the bang. I have the all weather SS model. I would not give it up for any rifle or hand gun. it's a perfect all around weapon to have. not much rust if you forget to clean it. or shoot 150 rounds through it, it works every time. thanks for the post. take care.
I live in Calforina and im 19 years old. I just bought a Ruger 10 22 RB today from my local gun store for $250 (with tax and background check fee) now Im waiting for the 10 day background check. Can't wait! :) I have a Marlin 925 bolt action .22 longrifle.
This was a great review on 10/22, also i had been looking into getting a .22 rifle and these videos greatly helped me with the decision making and after looking into .22 AK's and AR's decided that i would be better off with .22 build as such from the start, so today i ordered me a plain jane Ruger 10/22 RB. And with luck maybe ill be shooting it this weekend!
gotta love ruger, ive had a ruger single six for a long time and have loved it, its fun easy and dosent let you blow through all your ammo too fast lol
I opened this video and saw that it was 30 mins and thot im not gna watch this whole thing and i did your vids are awesome love the run n guns and all ur 22s keep it up very informational
Very cool video, well made and well thought through. I too have been shooting a 1022 since 1976. Saved my lawn mowing money and collected beer cans. I must have called J.C. Penny's a thousand times checking on the sale through the summer. GOD bless the old man who ran the gun dept. who very patiently told me yes, its still $62 and change tax inc.every week some times 3 times a week. One early August Saturday morning my Dad took to JCP and I bought that rifle. Just purchased a new 1 ...$262 Damn.
I have owned a ruger 10/22 for the last 8 years and I would not trade it in for any other .22 rimfire I have tried since. I also own a savage arms .22/250 bolt action, again a superb rifle for the money.
Great vid. The reasoning behind the 10rd Butler Creek mags is the star clip configuration, where you can connect 3 of them together to create a sort of 30 round mag. You can thank the SAW ban for that.
Watching this series again after picking up a 10/22 yesterday for the new baby on the way. We don't have a crib, diapers, or anything else, but the kid has a 10/22 put away for when the time is right.
I just bought a black synthetic 10/22 carbine with stainless steel barrel and a 3-9x40 scope today. It seems like a real nice gun and I can't wait to shoot it. I was debating over this or the S&W M&P 15 .22LR. I gave the 10/22 my vote because of the price and the reputation.
I have a 10-22 that I bought about 7 years ago. I love the gun, but I have had a lot of trouble with the clips sticking. Only on the newer clips, however. My dad had a 10-22 with the original clip that he has had since the 70's, and his still works like a champ. I can use his clip in my gun, and it works fine.
your a hell of a salesman sir!!! i have been sold on a number of guns and gear i've watched on your videos..with the exception of the glock... i know they are good guns but im not a fan....but watching this video has made me want to purchase the ruger 10/22 after work tomorrow.... thanks again..

Just picked up my first 10/22 in large part because of this video. Thanks for the good work you do.
I have a Remington Speedmaster 552 and I love it... Just got a new Ruger 10/22 RPT 1284 and this is the ultimate .22!!! Love your videos, you should have a TV show !!! Thanks again

+BAZYRKYRS BUNKER That line would form behind you rather quickly too
Great video! I have a 10/22 with a stainless steel, 16" threaded barrel. Absolutely love it. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Practical, reliable, accurate, and just a *joy* to shoot.
this is probably the first gun ill buy when i get a licence, non-restricted firearm here in Canada so i wont need an RPAL permit, and there is a store nearby that sells them for $200!
Just purchased a 10/22 in Nutn's same configuration except the flash hider and scope. There something about the warmth of wood.
just used my dad's fuger carbine today for the first time ever. decided to look it up on youtube and see what people have said about it and found your channel. lots of information, and enjoyed it very much!! thanks for your time :)
Great little rifle.. 10/22 Ruger :)) Love mine... very accurate.
I have a similar relationship with the Ruger 10/22. I got it when I was about 11 years old from my father after I demonstrated responsibility with air rifles and BB guns. I still have it and will never part with it. I may love many of the pistols/rifles/shotguns that have come my way, but my 10/22 will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for posting this video. :)
Ruger made BX25 high cpacity magazine holding of course 25 rounds as the name implies is the best option 1,000's of rounds without a single jam
The 10/22 is the one rifle that has with stood the test of time and has kept on shining !!! Ruger knows what the public loves for sure .
learned to shoot on a 10 22 bought in 1975. Kmart $79. still at the range today
I've had my 1022 since 1986 and absolutely love it, I have put upwards of 10,000 rounds thru it with no problems whatsoever! I'm currently using it as my summer project, upgrading the stock, trigger barrel ect. Absolutely love this rifle!
You need to make a new video about the 10/22 the new ruger mags are awesome I have a bx25x2 and a bx25 and they rock!
you could hear the pride in his voice talking about the gun from his youth it was very heart warming
The 10/22 was my first gun too! I'm sure this is true for thousands of people.
I picked this up as my first rifle last christmas. Now this will also be my rifle to keep forever. Thanks for prompting me to buy this rifle through this video nutnfancy
How about a "10/22 Stories" just like "Air Force Stories" I'd like to hear about those times in Virginia and Alabama.
This is the first video of yours I ever watched. It got me back into the tactical mindset. Thanks for the commitment to us "TNPers!!"
Thanks, man. I'm just getting into rifles and have been considering 10/22. I needed info on capacity options and you were very helpful. I like the idea of putting one of those low profile red-dot sights on it if it can take one. Planning to use it as primary home defense by my chair with either Aguila ammo or Stinger.
I just bought my first Ruger 10/22 and cant wait to shoot it!! I was goin for the Mossberg Tactical .22 but couldnt find it anywhere so i decided to go with the Ruger 10/22 and im SOOOO glad i did. From every thing i've read, this is the best .22 money can buy and everyone should own one! 3 more days til it fires for the first time!
I would love to own a Deer Stalker!!! (Hint hint Ruger)
Hey Nut'n Fancy, because of your videos, I bought another 10-22!!! I had one before that I "gifted" to my uncle some years ago. It had the classic wood stock. Thanks to your videos, I went out and bought another one, this time the one with the black polymer stock, I LOVE IT!!! My girlfriend (she has incredible eyesight, I have 20/20 but she is like the bionic woman) was hitting a 6 inch "Shoot-n-See" target with IRON sights- OUT THE BOX- at 100 YARDS!!!!
I haven't forgotten about you, EwFreDDe, I texted him again about this. -- Veri
I like the hard work part, and the fact that it's something you shared with your dad.
I want the take down version
its an excellent rifle
My cousin taught me how to shoot, and squirrel hunt in southern Maryland on one of these awesome rifles. Since then I have put A LOT of led down range on a variety of both military and privately owned firearms. The Ruger 10.22 is definitely a favorite. They just became available again where I live in Washington state so like a giddy school boy, I ran to the sports store and I got one! I am looking forward to teaching my son and daughter how to shoot in the next year.
Sorry nutnfancy, this is off topic but what is the guitar tune playing at the beginning? I'd like to know the name all I can look it up and learn it. Also I want a 10/22 really bad. I love cotton tail and the shotgun wrecks too much meat!
Thanks for all the awesome gun reviews Nutn your the man!!!
"must haves" Remington 870,Colt 1911,Ruger 10/22!
These are the videos that helped convince me to pick out a 10-22 as my first fiream. A brand new one with the new factory extended magazine release, and the wooden stock. Oh hell yeah.
I am saving up for one so I can go squirrel hunting.
They are GREAT squirrel guns! I have taken several with mine! Hope you get one soon!
Walmart, you can get a decent .22 scope and a set of low profile weaver rings for under $40. Oh, you can also get the gun itself from Walmart. #Merica
Oh yeah...I have shotguns that I use on squirrels as well.
Bought my Ruger 10/22 a few days ago...it's the 1st firearm I have bought...all I can say is I love it!
i want to get this for a beginner rifle for next Christmas ill be thirteen and i never shot a gun before should i get it or not.
if your parents approve i would say go for it.
also if you have an interest in pistols you can check out the ruger sr22. got that as a first gun and its awesome. good for practicing trigger control and other shooting fundamentals
thx
You can probably get one faster if you save up your own money. Good luck!
Ruger 10/22's are great rifles for beginners. It will last your whole life and shooting won't be difficult for a beginner great guns love mine.
Nice Vid. Brought back a few memories.

Excellent rifle but that goofy dude in the green jacket sure likes to keep his finger on the trigger. Not good...
Thank you for your reviews!!! I just bought my first gun and it's a 10/22. Your review (and handling in the store) helped me make up my mind. Thanks so much and keep up the good job!
Does anyone know the name of the song in the intro?
My dad and I made a similar deal. I got mine when I was 10 years old. I've had other guns...sold them. But this one I've always kept. It's a great gun. Lots of memories go with it.
I just bought am 10/22 and 2 bx-25 mags today after watching your video's. I must have shot 250-300 rounds today. love it. time for some upgrads
Hi nutn, i dont know why but im gonna tell u about 2 or so years ago i watched this video. Because of you i bought a ruger 10/22 and yes 2 butler creek steel lips.

That's awesome. Remember that feeling of getting your first .22.... damn
Awesome reviews! I watched your Marlin 795 video last night and am trying to decide which one I want!
Anyways, you just got a subscriber. :)
best video ever on .22 rifles, thank you so much, keep up the good vids...
I was 5 when I first shot a ruger 10/22...its still one of my favorite rifles to shoot.
Dear NutnFancy,
I saw your video a while ago and have finally come to purchase one myself yesterday.
Seems to be a very happy pattern of learning about all kinds of things from your videos and then getting to enjoy them again upon happy ownership.
Thank you for your continued hard work and contribution to NutnFancy!
Cheers from California,
-Warren
I always had reliabilty with 10/22s. Admittedly they don't do well with Remington ammo but they eat CCI like candy. That's just my experience. BTW, I got my son a 10/22.

thanx for all the great ideas nutn, keep it up!!!

Thank's for the video! I am going to purchase my first 10/22 to use in my first CMP rimfire rifle league! This is going to replace my old Marlin 81 DL that I tired using tonight for the first time tonight that was a epic failure shooting prone. Keep up the awesome videos my friend!!

That's awesome you held on to those rifles! Most people would have probably sold it for some easy cash sometime throughout their life. I still own a 22 rifle and a few shotguns my dad bought me when I was a young kid. I would never get rid of them for anything!
I bought a ruger 10/22 with the longer barrel, synthetic stock and williams firesights for 209$ new. Absolutely love that rifle
This is an awesome vid especially since I'm in the market for a 22 and have come to lean towards the Ruger. I will be watching part 2 soon. Thanks again for your info and time.
The Ruger BX25 mags are great also, I think they've recently come out after this video was made. They're very reliable.
Just bought my 10/22, wood stock/blued metal carbine. I will be familiarizing myself with it in a week. Looks classic, feels great.
hey nutnfancy, your reviews are very informative.
Today i put in an order for my very first rifle, the ruger 10/22. I will be getting it next week and cannot wait to shoot.
Thanks for all the great info!!
Huge tnp fan I saved up my money to get a 22 rifle. This convinced me to get 1. Thanks for the great info
Thank you Nutnfancy for your awesome review on the Ruger 10/22. My best buddy bought one and turned it into a tactical fun plinking machine like you did. I will buy one to in the next months and do the same. Just a outstanding rifle. Greets from europe :-)

Nice vid! I still have mine that I bought new in 1972. Stock except for a Bushnell scope. It still has no trouble producing 3inch groups at 50 yards. I've never had to do anything to it but clean it. I'm taking my 13 year old niece target shooting for her very first time this next weekend, she's just as excited as she can be, and the old 10/22 is coming along, of course.
You are awesome every time I look up guns or knives I realize I'm watching you haha
DANG a 30 minute review and that's just part one, talk about thorough.
The 10/22 was my first rifle... I love it
THe good old Marlin 60 is a winner as well...right out of the box!!
I've got a Ruger SP101 snub nose I ordered BEFORE they were available. Awesome pistol. Today I just bought my 2nd Ruger, a 10/22!
I finally got to shoot mine today... Holy mother of god, these things rock... Running 75 rounds a pop with 3 BX-25's... Freaking amazing. Had that thing hot as hell, and it was perfectly fine... I'm sure this will still be around when I have kids in many, many years... (I'm 13)
I love the opening of this vid...awesome. Cool monologue and music!
The 10/22 is by far the best rifle for the bang. I have the all weather SS model. I would not give it up for any rifle or hand gun. it's a perfect all around weapon to have. not much rust if you forget to clean it. or shoot 150 rounds through it, it works every time. thanks for the post. take care.
I live in Calforina and im 19 years old. I just bought a Ruger 10 22 RB today from my local gun store for $250 (with tax and background check fee) now Im waiting for the 10 day background check. Can't wait! :) I have a Marlin 925 bolt action .22 longrifle.
This was a great review on 10/22, also i had been looking into getting a .22 rifle and these videos greatly helped me with the decision making and after looking into .22 AK's and AR's decided that i would be better off with .22 build as such from the start, so today i ordered me a plain jane Ruger 10/22 RB. And with luck maybe ill be shooting it this weekend!
gotta love ruger, ive had a ruger single six for a long time and have loved it, its fun easy and dosent let you blow through all your ammo too fast lol
I opened this video and saw that it was 30 mins and thot im not gna watch this whole thing and i did your vids are awesome love the run n guns and all ur 22s keep it up very informational
Very cool video, well made and well thought through. I too have been shooting a 1022 since 1976. Saved my lawn mowing money and collected beer cans. I must have called J.C. Penny's a thousand times checking on the sale through the summer. GOD bless the old man who ran the gun dept. who very patiently told me yes, its still $62 and change tax inc.every week some times 3 times a week. One early August Saturday morning my Dad took to JCP and I bought that rifle. Just purchased a new 1 ...$262 Damn.
Great review. I will be getting a Ruger 10/22 soon. Gotta love the TNP nicknames. I want one haha! Keep it up nutn!
You have got to be one of the best reviewers on TH-cam!
Ha, No problem. I love all the videos, keep up the good work guys.
Just got my compact model... Can't wait to shoot it this weekend! Thanks for the awesome review!
I have owned a ruger 10/22 for the last 8 years and I would not trade it in for any other .22 rimfire I have tried since. I also own a savage arms .22/250 bolt action, again a superb rifle for the money.
10/22 was my first rifle because of this video!
Wow you took amazing care of that rifle! It looks in mint condition.
Great vid. The reasoning behind the 10rd Butler Creek mags is the star clip configuration, where you can connect 3 of them together to create a sort of 30 round mag. You can thank the SAW ban for that.
I just held the new 10/22 Takedown yesterday and it rocks! It may not be as light as a Marlin Papoose but it is a definite improvement to the design.
Watching this series again after picking up a 10/22 yesterday for the new baby on the way. We don't have a crib, diapers, or anything else, but the kid has a 10/22 put away for when the time is right.
Heard about your 597 video in a recent shot show vid.... cant wait for it!
I just bought a black synthetic 10/22 carbine with stainless steel barrel and a 3-9x40 scope today. It seems like a real nice gun and I can't wait to shoot it. I was debating over this or the S&W M&P 15 .22LR. I gave the 10/22 my vote because of the price and the reputation.
its awsome that they still make that exact same model
I have a 10-22 that I bought about 7 years ago. I love the gun, but I have had a lot of trouble with the clips sticking. Only on the newer clips, however. My dad had a 10-22 with the original clip that he has had since the 70's, and his still works like a champ. I can use his clip in my gun, and it works fine.
your a hell of a salesman sir!!! i have been sold on a number of guns and gear i've watched on your videos..with the exception of the glock... i know they are good guns but im not a fan....but watching this video has made me want to purchase the ruger 10/22 after work tomorrow.... thanks again..
