Within a reasonably short driving distance of Annapolis I need a standard bare bones Ruger 10/22 with wood stock and blued finish as a Christmas gift for our niece.

Please PM with price. Thanks.

The Gun Shop in Essex has one. I was there today.

The Gun Shop has the limited one with the Blue stock. $379.99 and it was there as of this afternoon.

LOL. Thanks guys. I go back and edit my post to sound a bit less picky and already get 4 replies.

So Dick's has a sale on the 10/22 on Friday?

Good choice OP.

It occurred to me that you could make different takedown variation stocks looking at the one today. It would be cool to have a wood stocked variant...

Several pics out there of people who've incorporated folding and other tactical style stocks. Almost like a .22 AR that breaks into 2 pieces....wait a minute!

Thanks. This gun is for a tall 10 year old girl. She got her first BB gun last Christmas which she outgrew in no time. I thought about getting her a youth model .22 like a Cricket, but as fast as she is growing she would probably only get a year or two out of that at most. I think she is tall enough she can handle a 10/22 and grow into it.

Plus if she gets bored, discovers boys, and doesn't stick with shooting......well........ahem.....ummm...... 10/22s can be fun guns for uncles too.....

A Cricket is way too small for a tall 10-year old. Get a 10/22 carbine at a minimum. It's got a short stock and should fit her really well. Only weighs 5lbs and recoil is nothing.

 

[trbon8r]

What is the difference in the carbine versus standard 10/22? Shorter stock only?

 

[Darkemp]

What is the difference in the carbine versus standard 10/22?

16" vs 18" barrel.

 

[trbon8r]

16" vs 18" barrel.

Same length of pull stock?

 

[Darkemp]

Same length of pull stock?

Dunno. Mine's the 18" and I never shouldered the other.

To make it more complicated, there's also a compact version with a 12.75" LOP.

It's really small. My guess is too small for her, especially in a year or two.

Boom Boom, yeah you just posted what I was looking at on the Ruger website. It appears what Ruger refers to as a "carbine" is what all of us consider to be your basic standard 10/22, 18.5" barrel and 13.5 length of pull.

The "compact" has 12.75" length of pull with a 16" barrel.

For my purposes, since this is a tall kid that has had some exposure to shooting, I might as well get her the standard "carbine" that she can grow into and shoot for a lifetime.

I have a black synthetic stock for a 10-22 if you find one that needs a stock.
