Finally got a takedown 10/22

[David LaPell]

I had been looking at a takedown 10/22 for a while now, and I took it out yesterday. Ran just fine with the CCI Mini mags I put through it. Didn't have to touch the sights. Thinking about a set of Skinner sights for it or another type of peep sight, haven't decided yet. First I am going to get a couple more 10 rounders since that's all we can have here because of the Unsafe Act. This was off a rest at 25 yards.

Nice gun and shooting. My eyes are too old for open sights, especially Ruger's front bead.

That's a great group. I could not come close to that with open sights.
My TD has a red dot, and with that MIGHT be able to come close to your group... on a good day.

Great shooting. That is the model I want to purchase also.

I looked at this model at both Gander Mountain and Academy Sports in Mesquite, TX today. I was surprised that they were priced the same at both places, $349. I would have thought Academy would be cheaper. I did not buy, but will keep looking around.

I went to a different Academy Sports today and found the black synthetic stock/stainless everything else 10/22 Takedown model for $339 and bought it. I probably will not have an opportunity to shoot until I get to the Arizona deserts in November. I am excited about this purchase.

Yes, that is one of the several guns that I want. Nice group/shooting. Thank you for sharing. :)

I have had mine for a couple years and love it. It is the last 10/22 I have bought and I took a picture of it next to the first one I bought back in the 70s.

$279 Camo, $289 Navy, $289 Marine

All take down prices

Question: How much does your Ruger take down weigh? The Ruger website says 4.7lbs, and I say "No freakin' way' it is that light.

Please answer an important question. It will make or break my decision to go take down or plain stainless tactical

 

[MarqueIII]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Ruger frowns on high velocity .22LR's. Granted a Mini-Mag is not a Stinger or Interceptor.

What is the most powerful round you can run through it on a daily diet?

 

[Rumrunner]

High Velocity is fine. Stingers and such are Hyper Velocity. But I have shot plenty of Stingers through my takedown, as well as my standard 10/22's and my Charger when I had it.
