I saw this nice looking Ruger 10 22 and was wondering if 230 dollars is too much for an older Ruger 10 22? It has walnut wood and a metal trigger guard and butt plate. Additionally it has gold letters on the receiver but don't know if that's how they did or something added that.

I don't have any pictures, but it's in very good condition to excellent. The barrel is shiny and still has a lot of life left. The blueing is very good with no major scratches and the wood is very good too.
 
Not to be a smart aleck, but, my idea of very good condition, and yours may be very very different.

Sounds like its been pretty well cared for..walnut stock with steel triggerguard is a premium over newer guns.

In the condition you describe, I would think 230 is a good price, however, I am in Nebraska, no idea what its worth in TX.
 
Buttplate ....thatd be a standard model w barrel band? Older ones had an Overton stock....theres a bit of angle on the top of forend tip. They also are hollowed out under most of the bbl.

They do fetch 200 plus if clean. Smaller the serial number the higher the price.

I paid 165 or so for a dinged up '67 standard and refinished the stock. It had some figure. Nobody would give me 200. So sold the stock and built it into a sporter
 
Guys on RFC ooo and ahhhh over the old models. But dont expect them to pay going rate. They all wanna post the mint old gun bought dirt cheap thread.

Again.....lower serial number stuff gets more attention. I dunno when they had prefix. Cant remember if my two '67s were five or six digit ( maybe seven or more....cant remember ). Ruger has a serial number page that will tell you the year of mfg.
 
Paid 250 not long ago for a dinged up ' 70 model. But it had plastic buttplate....,and no bbl band ;)

What is an overton stock? I've never heard of that so could you please explain to me more
 
The old standards are just a neat and classic .22 rf.

Some shot decent as is too.

Drop in a Volq hammer and enjoy
 
Overton made the earlier 1022 stocks for Ruger. Am at work right now. Will post a pic when i get home.
 
FWIW I'd pay 230 for a clean 4 digit standard ;)
And I don't even want one.
Just a classic rig.
Let a kid or grandkid shoot it.
 
I got my 1st 10/22 in 2nd grade, so early 70's.
IIRC pops said he paid $50 for it.
Metal buttplate, walnut............new.
Had it many years, shot OK.
My cheap refinished Glenfield 20 outshot it though.
So I let my sister use my 10/22 ;)

Oh those glenfield model 20s are super accurate, my dad got one at a gun show a couple years ago and it's my favorite 22.
 
I paid $200 + s/h for an older, good condition 10/22, metal trigger group, a few years ago. Seems ok.
 
I bought a '68 carbine several years ago in mint condition for $125. I don't think the seller knew what he had. I've been offered twice that but it's not for sale
 
Paid 250 for this beater, stock has a lot of little marks and two chips up top. Could be glassed and refinished to decent.
Don't want to mess with it. Just my hunting gun.
Just dirt removal, no finish work.

And the real clincher.............paid 275 for this one.
About 5 yrs ago.
Factory checkered. Not mint but too nice for me to hunt with.
Sold it for about three times what I paid.

The bad? It shot CCI Blazer into .75" at 50 yards, w just a Volq hammer swapped in.
I thought that plenty good.

Unfortunately the '70 model I have now is pretty horrible shooting.
 
Thanks,
The base is the newer style many slot Weaver which sits a wee bit taller than the old style.
You can run Burris Signature Zees without scratching receiver top.

That base is coupled w Leupold Rifleman lows.
The alloy rings wont damage the 2-7X VX1's finish,

The gun/scope combo just feels great.
Just wish it shot decent (still working on that).

Folks that hate the 10/22 proly haven't held an old sporter (fingergroove).
IMHO it's a whole nuther rifle.
 
My 760 in .35 rem has no raised comb, but runs a Weaver base w alloy lows and an M8 4X.
It's decent.

Look at some of the ads in the mags.......2" under the objective to the bbl.
Some even scope ads.

SMDH
 
Rifles are worth what a buyer will pay. Be it shooter or collector grade. To me you are talking low price shooter. Try before you buy if you can.
