If I take them a second time and they havn't purchased a gun yet they get the loaner (they pay for ammunition too).

I just bought an old 10/22 that didnt shoot(because of a missing disconnector in the trigger) for $75. the reciever was just refinished, so i took the factory stock, barrel, and trigger from my target 10/22 and put together a new factory 10/22 for $75, instead of paying the $200 expected around here in IA

picked up a NIB 10/22 Saturday for $160. Nothing fancy though, just a stock one.

Sports Authority price matched that for me actually.

small error in ammo- gun matching. get some long rifle ammo & let the fun begin.

I recently purchased a 10-22 rifle.
HOWEVER, READ YOUR MANUAL AS IT MAY BE DIFFERENT
On page 13 of the manual it states "The RUGER 10/22 carbine and 10/22 rifles are chambered for, and designed to properly function with, only the 22 caliber long rifle rimfire cartridge, standard, high velocity, or hyper velocity manufactured to US industry standards"
Do not use 22 short, 22 long, 22 shot, or 22 cartridges loaded with blunt nosed sharp shouldered, or explosive bullets...."

Or stingers if you keep reading.

What does anyone think about the CCI Mini Mag .22 LR ammo? What about Remington Viper .22 LR ammo?

Found this while surfing, is what they've said pretty good info?

I agree with the cartridges recommended by the other posters.
One thing I often advise is to disassemble to a reasonable extent a new
.22 auto then thoroughly clean it including the chamber and bore.
Often new guns come with an ample amount of "packing or shipping"
grease that can cause problems. After cleaning a light coating of
an oil such as 3 in 1 often is a good idea.

Good hunting and good shooting.

Any good high velcity ammo will work!
