I purchased a new Ruger 10/22 for my son tonight for Christmas. I never owned one but have shot plenty and have known many who have and was pretty sure I was gong to get a high quality fire arm.
When I got home I realized the butt plate was - plastic....the barrel ring on the fore end was - plastic..... the trigger housing was - plastic and the trigger was - plastic. And to top it off the "bluing" looked more like black spray paint....really?
I own two other Rugers (both pistols) and am very pleased with the design, materials of construction, fit and finish and craftsmanship...guess my expectations for the 10/22 were a little higher than they should have been.
Buyers remorse is beginning to set in and was wondering if others had the same impression.
Sure hope it shoots as good as I have been told....
It will shoot just fine.
If its for your younger son, he wont mind. You can't expect much from a rifle that costs just a little over $200. I think I bought mine a couple years ago for $227 at Walmart. The base model with the wood stock is very basic. If you want a nicer one, I believe they sell more expensive models.
Have fun shooting.
