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 know about what you paid due to my every day searching for several weeks. The only good thing about buying my PINK Ruger 22LR, was that it was from Kentucky, and it was free shipping with NO TAX.
You are lucky to have found the takedown because I didn't see any of those in stock anywhere.
