What exactly is this............when was it made........how many..........worth anything? I have the box, it is marked 10/22T-TGT. Done a few searches but haven't come up with that number, or a pic of one just like it. Is it a "dealer" gun, or what.
Question for 10/22 guys

Is that a factory stock? Is it the Ruger Eagle I see laser etched into it?
The 10/22 T is the target model. I know that much. It has a heavy .920 contour barrel.
How much did you pay for it?

I have one that looks like that only it is a 10/22T-TGT SR3 821-08XXX. it how ever does not have the logo etched on the stock. Mine has a model number of 01203 What's the SR # of that one?
And if you are looking to sell that one we need to talk :wink:

That is a Ruger stock, with emblem etched in it. The factory box has an insert that fits rifle. Blued, hammer forged, twisted .920 barrel. I have had it a year or so. Picked it up from a guy on Arms List. Didn't think much about it at the time, but have never seen another just like it. He also had a 22/45 pistol with a heavy fluted barrel that I have never seen another like. Bought both. Not sure where he got the stuff.

Neither your per fix or my prefix come up as a 10/22 SR # that I can find.

The serial number prefix shows as 2011 production (from http://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory/RI-10-22.html). It is one of the distributor exclusives - limited runs with specs by one of the major distributors. I don't know which one. You can order a Letter of Authenticity from Ruger customer service.

Only thing about the stock, is you need really tall rings to get a clean sight plane with a proper cheek weld. So it NEEDS a big scope to look right, or it would be way off the barrel. That's a cheap Barska I put on there, because it looked ok. If I'm gonna keep it, need to put decent glass on it, maybe a Kidd trigger and some other goodiesIowa Fox said:

It is a Lipsey's gun, the stock being the distinctive feature on a Ruger Target 10/22. Nothing special about the trigger or target barrel otherwise. Nice find, but I think I'd shoot the thing anywhere I could carry it. I agree as to the funky cheek height for scope use, high/very high rings are the only way.
As to pricing I bet it's a $400 gun now and in the future.

Ruger didn't change prefixes because they did something different on the guns. They only changed prefixes because they ran out of numbers in that particular prefix.
And yes, Ruger has had lots of changes in their history on the 10/22...the most noteworthy a few years ago was the change to a synthetic trigger housing and barrel band.

Are you sure it was Lipsey's? I've never seen that one before.
The stock is probably from the same supplier who does Ruger's Target model Mini-14 as it has the same shape, except for the raked forend.
Interesting that such a model would escape most people's eyes until now. For that reason I really don't think there were too many made.
Ruger45...can you send me the full sn of your example by PM so I can add the info to the reference? Thank you very much! I'll also do a paragraph in the next issue of RENE under the New Variations column to make everybody aware there is such an animal.

Oh, it's been shot and will continue to be. I don't own anything that's a safe queen. I can't shoot it, I have no use for it. Don't remember exactly what I gave for it, as I bought two items from the guy...........but guessing I have $250 or so in itmohavesam said:
