1022 International

Am I missing something? Maybe time to start clearing out my Internationals

Wow! I've always wanted one of those. The last one I saw in a store was I believe around $450, several years ago. I should have bought it.

It was advertised as MINT and for some reason the Walmart Internationals have always sparked interest. At one time these were selling for $800 - $1,000. I'm not sure I'd sell mine for $750.

I have four of these and don't think I paid over $425 for any of them (all nib). This is the highest I have ever seen one sell for.

There have been numerous runs of internationals and numerous "last" runs. They go away for awhile then popup again. However this version was truly a one off run. If you wanted one it's well past time to accept that odds are very slim they are ever going to be offered again. I got a shooter that is pristine and a new in the box. Sold my other standard internationals. Realized they were never going to be anything "special".

They won't be offered again because they have metal trigger assemblies. I bought mine at the end of the Walmart closeout and the price I paid is almost embarrassing. Only had it out of the box a few times for pictures.

You need to step back a little further into time, say into the sixties. That is when Ruger first introduced the International and Sporter models. Several different versions of each. Really desirable 10/22s; hard to find and they are the original of all that followed !

Prices are just crazy right now.
I bought one of these plus a stainless laminated stock with the regular barrel when
Walmart was clearing them out, I think around 1996 but I could be wrong. Price was $160 each.
I never cared for the international stock so sold that one for $450 probably 10 or 12 years ago. I was happy, he was happy.

This one looks more like what they should be bringing:

I wish they would build a stainless RSI No1 with that type stock. What a great all weather gun. .308 please.

That's probably a decent price for a good used example. Buyer will still have around $475 to $500 in it after they get it out of jail at their local FFL.

Buy Low.......... Sell HIGH

Now's the time to start unloading...... keep only 'one' of everything!

IMHO of course )))

Boy, talk about being out of it... the first 10/22 I bought was an international and I did not like the stock and so I sold it to someone on the internet and put a Butler Creek folding stock on it....
