10/22 Fingergroove Sporter

Sharing a few photos of one of the fingergroove sporters, 1967 vintage.

Very nice gun.

I like that the finger grooves lends a distinctive look to the rifle!

SWEET!

These never fail to turn heads at the range. Most folks think I've re-stocked them. One of each; a 10/22 and a 44 Carbine.





Many would say I paid too much for the 44 Carbine. Who cares? I'd never seen one in person before!

Nice one :!:

I like it! Nice gun!!

I agree with Wendy, the finger grooves definitely give it a distinctive look, i really like it. I have seen that on other rifle stocks, a very classy look in my opinion.

I bet Ruger66 has never said that :roll: :roll: :roll: RR

Hittman: very nice! Yes they always turn heads and even the plastic gun folks want to handle the nicely finished walnut.

This stock should have never been removed from the lineup......PERIOD! :!: 8)

That is a nice pair of Ruger I can understand why people get a good look!

Super nice!

Amen!

And! The international stock ain't to hard on the eyes either! When Ruger dropped the two stock styles, there was a big hole left in the line up. I imagine the cost factor had a lot to do with the stocks being dc'd. I have several of each that are factory checkered. Really attached to 'em.

I bought a really nice stainless 10/22 with the green (or maybe they call it gray?) international stock.

I sold that hideous stock for $75.00 to a local pawn shop and mounted the 10/22 in a skeleton stock. The international stocks just aren't for everybody. :lol:

I had a fingergroove sporter 10/22 for a while, shot it some and then passed it on. I really don't use a .22 rifle much, but these are among the most handsome of the breed.

These Stocks should had been used on the 50th year guns!

Here's rare of the rare. A checkered fingergroove with a D serial number.
