I plan on buying another 10-22 before the end of the year. Even though we still can’t find bulk 22 anywhere.
I could be way off, but I think Ruger being mostly the .22 king, the ammo shortage may have something to do with soft sales.
As far as saturation goes, I know I am not alone in making purchases regardless how many I already have.
You can never have too many guns or too much ammo.
In Ruger's quarterly statement, issued yesterday, they blamed lack of .22 and other rimfire ammo for their low sales. They also said they failed to offer discounts like the other gun manufacturers.

Ruger also sells a ton of handguns and centerfire rifles.
I picked up a ruger 77/44 bolt action earlier this year. An accurate bolt action rifle that shoots 44 mag handgun cartridges could come in handy. They make them in 357 mag too.
