This is one of the early 10-22s, the original wood stock got so banged up riding around in a fiberglass canoe that it wasn't worth refinishing.
No telling how many rounds this one has burned, they just keep on shooting.
I have been the expert “looker” for a month until I found that one Ruger 22LR and got it.
The 25 magazine I have for it is after market - the Hot Lips one. I still want the Ruger company made one. The Hot Lips was not expensive but that was before there weren't any, now they are expensive. The actual Ruger one would probably be $40-50 now. It is crazy.
I found some Remington hollow points for it that would be shipped in one or two weeks, so bought those. Maybe they will be here next week. That was from Cabela and now those aren't available anymore.
As soon as something comes in, it's gone. I was at a shooting range near my house several days ago, a big gun shop, and only 10 cartridge mags and no hollow points for anything and no rifles to sell. They still had handguns.
Just bought a 10/22 takedown..a little bit ashamed at what we paid. It took a two state search, found it for list +taxes.

“I still want the Ruger company made one.”
The BX-25 is a great mag. I have put many rds thru my 10/22 w/o misfires/fail to load. I have one off brand and have had nothing but trouble with it. It is for sale ... :)
Production will catch up and the BX-25’s will be available again. Same for everything else. I got a 1000 rds of 7.62x39 HP’s a week ago that I ordered after Christmas. Also ordered the 5 mags, 7.62x39 after Christmas, and received those this week.
I bought Aquila Super Max 22lr HP several times last year, and some from Cabela’s when they threw in the ammo box. And btw, I like the Aquila’s...work great in the 10/22 and also in my Ruger Mark I (1950’s vintage)...love it, a great semi-auto.
I saw all this coming, just not as suddenly as Sandy Hook brought it on. I never owned a gun until 18 months ago. Have been around them, used them, hunted, but never owned...no longer true. I am still in buying mode, but not so much pressure.
Btw, just got an email about a poll in USA Today...
