Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rifle

Rarely do I have a desire to buy another rifle, having filled most niche areas with my small collection, which includes my short-barreled Remington .308 bolt action for brush hunting deer and hogs, my Arsenal AK-47 assault rifle for home defense should a gang of thirty show up, and my lever-action model 94 for everything else. Then Ruger recently came out with the 10/22 Takedown, which I think is a must have:

$389.00

Gun Reviews:

I could only find one review so far. Here are the main points:
  • Completely New Design
  • Record sales mean they are currently unavailable
  • All-weather design
  • Aluminum alloy receiver, stainless steel bolt and barrel
  • Carbine style, black fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin stock with composite barrel band
  • Due to the design of the "click adjustable ring", the gun can be locked up tight no matter how much it “settles in” over time-meaning it stays accurate.
  • "Surprisingly Solid"
  • "The scope returned to the same zero every time", between breakdown and reassembly over a dozen times.
  • "No malfunctions" during extensive testing.
  • Trigger pull between 5 and 6 lbs.
  • Plenty Accurate
  • "Great survival gun" with light weight ammo
Good luck finding one anytime soon..........
