10/22 Finger Groove canadian centennial

[Stamp Collector]

Hey guys, what are these worth? I have been told Ruger only made 2,000 of these in 1967. Then, I have seen sellers who claim more than that. Are they sought after like a regular finger groove? I found one for $450 plus shipping. Supposed to be in really nice condition.

I apologize in advance. I should have read down and chimed in on xl22662's post. Sorry.

About that range. Not all that hard to find, and condition is everything. If you can live with that big hole cut into the stock...

mohavesam, I completely agree with your analogy of "big hole cut in the stock". I wasn't sure if other folks thought the same as me. I had a buddy once tel me if I was going to settle on a gun with a major imperfection, keep in mind that is where your eyes are going to go every time you pick it up. I really appreciate your input sir.

Serial numbers go as high as C4424.

Thanks Chet15. What is one in nice shape worth?

Price depends on condition and if it is checkered or not. The uncheckered model is the rarer. I think the price quoted is fair for a close to new checkered model. This is the cheapest way to get a checkered fingergroove, by far the best 10/22 imo.

I thought all Canadian Centennial guns were checkered??? I've never seen a smooth-stocked one.

The one I was looking at is un-checkered and the one I have now is un-checkered. Maybe I lucked out!

Never can be to sure about a Canadian 8)

I have one of each, checkered and uncheckered. The uncheckered is the rarer of the two.

Hi Charlie .... good to see you here!

Hey guys, here is the link to the gun I was looking at. I'm still on the fence, but if someone on here wants to snatch it up, it won't hurt my feelings.
