New 10/22 takedown

[JoeBobOutfitters.com]

Exactly. They'll be under $300 in a year.

No offense, but I doubt you'll see these much under $320 OTD (shipping, transfer, etc), EVER. There isn't a huge margin level on these, or any guns for that matter. The cost on these is the same as the Ruger I-TAC #1287, which Buds last retailed for $300 shipped (cash price), just for comparison. Dealers gotta eat too ya know

$330 ballpark for a local pickup is a good deal, IMO. 2A Sales' price is good to go!

I dont have abeef with $330. Now $330 plus transfer, plus shipping etc I do.

Looks neat....I'll be waiting for a used one to pop up somewhere.

Am I the only one who doesn't "get" the backpack? It's cool, I guess, but if you're carrying it, you can't be carrying a "regular" backpack, so what's the point? If all I've got on my back is a rifle, I'd just as soon have it on a sling so I can actually use it.

I guess it's neat for storage, given the fact that it's stainless & you wouldn't have to worry so much about rust...

Oh, no offense taken. I was making (incorrect) assumptions of Ruger's MSRP pricing scheme.

At $330, they're still a good buy and very cool. Add another $200 to cut it down to 16", threaded, and move the sights and you got yourself a pretty neat little package. The case is pretty nice, too; I just wish it didn't have the giant, red Ruger logo advertising what it is.

ETA: You're spot-on with Bud's; cash price, $300 before shipping and transfer fees.

Man, there are too many guns I want and not enough money or room for them all.

Picked up my 10/22 takedown this morning.
Cool piece could of had it sooner if I hadn't been down myrtle all week. Can you believe none of the stores down there had the Ruger 25 rnd factory mags.

 

[WSM]

All things Ruger are kind of scarce these days.

 

[WSM]

I'd love a range report. I've never been a huge .22 fan but this one has caught my eye.

[OH IT'S KINO]

^ That thing is pretty sweet! I'll definitely have to add this to my "want" list!

Received the following review from my friend:

PlatoonDaddy - hold off on buying this rifle. My friend and me just returned from the range and trying to sight these two new rifles in. We put on BSA sweet 22 scopes witch come with 3 different calibration turrets for different bullet weights for the 22 LR. We had them bore sighted and started out at 50 yds. Mine was right on at 50yds with elevation but shooting right about 5 inches. Corrected to bullseye at 50 yds. Disassembled barrel and put back together and bullet impact moved about 4 inches!!!! zeroed again and moved to 100 yds. Dialed in 100yds on scope turret and was shooting bullseye 2 1/2 to 3 inch group which is not bad with these eyes Ha.. shot about 50 rds at 100yds. Moved back to 50 yds and took barrel apart and reinstalled. Dialed scope turret down to 50 yds and shot and was grouping about 4 inches to the right and 4 in high. Took apart and put back together and now shot 2 in right and 2 in high. Noticed before ever shooting that when sighting down barrel and applying a little left or right pressure to barrel with wrist holding forearm stock barrel would move left and right slightly and you could see sight picture move about 12 inches either way.



My friends rifle was slightly worse than mine!!!! Called Ruger and tech said to ship them back and they would look at them. Needless to say it is a piece of crap if they cant fix the problem. A 10/22 should be a tack driver at 50 yds with a scope and there shouldnt be any movement in the barrel at all.



Will let you know what they say.

^^ Did you guys use the adjustment nuts to tighten up the slop?

I just picked mine up less than three hours ago (THANKS GUN CONNECTION!) and took it to my favorite range (I'm a member at freestate... full disclosure lol) to seriously injured some paper.

I figured the difference in accuracy between this and my 10/22 carbine was due to a possible sight or sight radius difference. I LOVE the irons on my carbine. I was really annoyed by the sights on this take down.

I'll break 'em out and compare in a minute but I didn't get results anything like what your friend is describing. (the review of the dude with the beard talking about it's accuracy is part of why I picked up this gun in the first place).

 

[annihilation-time]

I haven't shot mine yet, but the lock up is tight. No movement whatsoever.

 

[r3t1awr3yd]

Nope. Sight radius is the same and stupid sights are the same... AND YET, I have an easier time getting a sight picture with my 10/22 carbine. Maybe the blued barrel is less distracting to my eyes?

They're pretty darn similar. The rear sights are slightly different. My old carbine has two screws for adjustment, the new takedown only has one.

Other than that....

Virtually identical, eh?

Where did I put that nifty small bag it came with...

It's broken!? lol

Rear adjustable tension nut on the left.

Rear sight.

Sorry if she looks a little dirty... she's already got three hundred rounds through her.

 

[Hit and Run]

You have to get adjustment nut tight to point it starts to get hard to twist barrel on and then back it click by click until easy to get on, but no slop. Then leave nut alone!

Nice review of rifle.

 

[Gaius Baltar]

i like the concept, but i still think a butler creek folding stock is the way to go. it can be fired while folded, and you don't have to put anything back together.

 

[Hit and Run]

Range report. I put 100 rds through new 10/22 break down today. Ranges of 50yds and 100yds. Used nothing more than iron sites that came with rifle and forward bag for rest. Shot mostly from bench. The stock sites get the job done, but a scope would help these old eyes out are the 100 yd range. My spotting scope helped. Lots of nice groupings.

I broke it down a few times, but no issue with iron sites as rear site is on barrel section. Real test will be if it can hold zero when I mount a scope. Also need to pick up a larger magazine in my travels.

So far I like it!!

 

[deMontjoie]

Ordered mine today. $329 + shipping + transfer.

Will let ya know of the range-report.

 

[NathanJ]

I checked one out recently and they seem pretty damn heavy for back-packing. Case was nice but eats up a lot of room too. I just got the standard 10/22 instead.
