Ruger 10/22. Black synthetic stock. MSRP $277. The price at a large chain sporting goods store is $259. I'm in Northern Virginia and might hit the Dulles gun show this weekend, but wanted to know if $259 is the best ballpark price I'll find, or if $259 is too much.

I'm guessing most people on here know more about guns than I do. I'm somewhat new and want to do a good bit of target shooting on the inexpensive side of things. What say the group?

Thanks

I think I paid $229 last year for mine with the synthetic stock at walmart The stock occupies a nice spot in the closet since I replaced it. There are many other nicer stocks out there for 50-100 bucks if an upgrade might be in your future.
Just checked mine at the airport and am heading to an Appleseed event.
Good luck.

My discount house has the wood for $217 and the synthetic for $239...I have bought several over the years for less than $150, but it is hard to find one of those bargains any more. Check around, you might find a deal. I got one for my wife...used for $129, with one scratch on the receiver and it shoots real well at 50 feet. You never know.
 
Go to Chantilly since its tomorrow.I saw a lot of Ruger 10/22's for sale below $200 at the last show.
 
Wondering about this myself. I've been thinking I'd like to set one up with tech-sights for dedicated marksmanship practice and have been sort of watching the prices to get a ballpark idea.
 
The prices on the ruger 10/22 have really gone high since they stopped making it with the steel receiver. Everyone started buying them also as soon as your present president was elected. I did find a couple of good deals at a pawn shop all original steel stuff. Check there and you can build it up from there yourself.
 
Holy cow is that what they are going for now? I paid $189.99 on sale and I thought it was an average deal at the time (wood stock, aluminum triggerguard-or whatever it was made out of).
 
Last one I looked at was $249 for stainless with a synthetic stock and aluminum triggerguard (I checked and it felt cold and metallic).
I'm not sure if that one is still there or not, but I'd take stainless over blued for that price range any day.

The standard 10/22 was NEVER made with a steel receiver. Only the .22Mag version which has been out of production for a few years now. The only recent change has been that the new trigger housings are now polymer and everything is matte finished.

Prices on the 10/22 have not even gone up to keep up with inflation over the last ten years so I'm not sure where you're coming from on this.
 
I bought a stainless model with birch wood stock about 12 years ago for $149 new. The blued version sold at that time for $119. The price these days is $100 north of that though many other long guns have doubled in price over the same span of time.

I don't buy firearms from WalMart for three reasons:

They never have anyone working there.

They charge more than the local gun shop.

If I have a problem it is just that; MY problem.

Never bought from a gun show either. I'm not afraid to bargain and with the volume of business I do, some reasonable haggling makes things fun.
 
Cheapest new 10/22 I've seen lately was wood stock for about $180, synthetic stock stainless was going for about $240. That was while they were on sale at a sporting goods store in San Antonio. They went up about $70-$80 when the sale ended. I haven't looked anywhere else lately because I'm not really in the market for a 10/22 right now, but it seems to me the sale price was pretty good.
