Too many 10/22s?

shovel1966 · May 26, 2016

How many 10/22s are considered to be "too many?" Whenever I mention getting another 10/22 because it is different than any I have, my wife is quick to say that I already have "too many." I'm not even sure she knows exactly how many I actually have.

I realize that the standard textbook answer for guns, ammo, and tools is that there is NEVER "too much" or "too many." But what is your answer?

I'm thinking for my situation, three is too many, so I'm going to stick with the two I have.

I'm not in the market for another 10/22 but I do look at them and wonder if I should get it.

I currently don't have any Colt revolvers. My friend has 2 snake guns in pristine condition that are his prized possessions. Maybe that is what I should look for.

Once my wife sees the price, she will change her mind on another 10/22. :lol:

If you have to buy a safe just for your 10/22s, you might be approaching a threshold.... if you haven't hit that level yet, you are OK.

You must be a young guy, newly married, or both.

ALWAYS tell them after the purchase has been made!

That way, you only have to listen to it once. :innocent0

Once it's in the safe, it's been there "for years."

What's just one more gonna hurt?

Never too many, or too much 10/22

Apologies to Daryle Singletary ...

Too much guns, what's that mean?
It's like too much money, there's no such thing
It's like a wife too pretty with too much class
Being too lucky, a car too fast
Don't matter what she says, buy some
Cause there ain't never been too much guns

Sing it to her ...

HEY! I don't have a problem..........

Meh Meh Meh I can't hear you :gun3:

I only have one. When I want a new gun, I try to go for a caliber/style that I don't yet have.

j_h_smith · May 26, 2016

I have 3 and I'm looking to add 3 or 4 more to fill out my collection. One can't have too many 22 cal rifles. They are good for teaching the sport and make an excellent upland hunting rifle. They work great when hunting fox, doesn't mess up the pelt if you miss the head. Add to that all the configurations you can have with a 10/22 and why would you ever want to stop collecting them. My son has one with a P90 stock and he loves it too (not for me).

Here's a great deal on one.

steveh326 · May 26, 2016

I only have 2 but even I know the answer is "there is no such thing as too many"... lol.

Boss94 · May 26, 2016

More than 50 is to many ;-)

A new 10/22 is better than a pair of shoes.
2 years from now, your 10/22 will be 80-120% the value of what you bought it for. Try that with Shoes!
When my wife goes out looking at shoes I tell her to collect things that retain the value. Jewelry can retain value, a Rolex retains value. Shoes don't.
Tell her you will count all your guns when she counts all her shoes. Then ask how many shoes have retained their value.
Its like a savings account you can enjoy every week... And in a Zombie Apocalypse (or a more realistic economic collapse they will be worth their weight in gold)

When Ruger commemorates a special edition 10/22 for their best customer, you may be close to having too many.
