Ruger 10-22 sale at BPS

RockB · 04-10-2008, 02:54 PM

Didn't have a .22 and everyone says you need one so I just picked one up. $159.00. Now I will end up spending $1000 on accessories

LOL ... my philosophy: a hundred-dollar shine on a three-dollar pair of shoes.

I have a Ruger 10/22 also, great little guns.

The Ruger 10/22 seems to have morphed from a good little gun
to a starting point for customization. Anyway, many people really
do enjoy choosing from the phenominal amount of aftermarket
parts and services to, in a manner of speaking, "create their own
custom one-of-a-kind" gun.

Good luck and have fun.

That is a great price for a great gun.

Great price! And yes! You will end up spending more on accessories than you did for the rifle itself and you will enjoy every second of it!

LarryO1970 · 04-10-2008, 06:06 PM

Wow ... nobody caught the "Stripes" reference in post #2?

jmp8927 · 04-10-2008, 11:20 PM

Not that we didn't catch it, we just see it as BLASHEMY!! lol to me its like heavily modifying a Mosin Nagant. It just isn't right. Likewise its just wrong to buy a 10/22 and not at the very least buy 2 25rd mags for it. Then maybe a better stock. Or build a stock! That's what I did. Then a scope or red dot helps. A quick mag release is essential to!

Be all of that as it may, I bought one in 1969 and it is still original. I still like to shoot it and kind of like the fact that it is still original in spite of all the gadgets that I could have put on it. I feel the need, at times, to get a barreled action and really trick it out, but this old one will remain the same.

citylivin · 04-11-2008, 12:58 AM

Such a fun little gun, had to buy a second. They are so much fun that they will probably be illegal here real soon!

Shun the unbeliever, shuuuuuunn....

I read that a few days ago, blows my mind that some idiot wants to ban a 10/22.
You folks in LA need to get together and do a mass e-mail to your law makers and tell them to get their sierra together or your voting them out of office.

BaserRonin · 04-12-2008, 10:32 PM

Sports Authority price matched Brass Pro Shop's sale price for me on a 10/22. It was only $10 less then their sale, but it's a viable option for those of us who don't have a BPS close. Thanks for the heads up on the sale! Spurred me to get another Ruger, which is never a bad thing, and I saved $10 extra.

Well I don't know about the rest of LA but my son and I are in the process of writing every listed House member in this state I've already got the addresses down 105 of them, tomorrow I'm going after the envelopes I do believe that between my son and myself we'll scronge up enough stamps. I also have the "form letter" written that we intend to send.

Where can I buy a Ruger 10 22 for under $200

tony d · 11-09-2008, 10:22 PM

good luck a good used one go for 160.00+around here .but if your going to work it over all you need is the reciver i bought my last one for100.00 at a gun show shop for a barrel stock combo good hammer and searand for 400.00 you will out shoot 10-22target guns...

DaTeacha · 11-10-2008, 12:10 PM

I'll have to join the ranks of those who didn't mod theirs. Mine is a walnut stocked carbine model that I got on a store closing sale about '78. I paid $50 for it, NIB. Added a $10 "wide screen" scope from a show and it's been shooting extremely well ever since.

I think about modding it, but then I figure the mods cost so much I might as well get another one from a show to start with and not worry about desecrating mine.

Does anyone here have the Mannlicher stocked rifle model? I'd love to have one of those, but I think that's pretty much in the collector's realm now.
