"Holy Grail" 10/22 - Stainless / Threaded / Takedown / Backpacker

magnoammo · Mar 4, 2021

This one's been sitting in the safe for ~2 years, I've only put ~200rds through it. It's a joy to shoot, and draws lots of attention at the range too

Selling it off because I'm pinched for cash, and they seem to be in high demand. The rifle will come with everything it did from the factory, sans the "Ruger" branded cardboard box:
- Rifle
- 4 x 10rd mags
- Fiber optic iron sights
- 2 cheek attachments of varying height (1 for mounted optics, 1 for iron sights)
- Picatinny rail attachment (currently installed)
- Manual

I'm based in Seattle, looking for a cash transaction at a dealer of the buyer's choice (that isn't too far of a drive for me).

I am not cr@pping on the thread... this is a legitimate question... why is this 10/22 a "Holy Grail"?

I believe it is due to the combination of features. The stainless construction with the threaded barrel, in a takedown configuration with a desirable stock. I'm not sure the world of 10/22s has a single holy grail for everyone, but these are some great features which are difficult to find together.

Thats my take on it anyway.

Yep, s1xty7 has it right. Additionally, this is a distributor exclusive - which seems to make it incredibly rare to find in stock at any retailer. Every listing I've seen for it (even pre-rona) has sold out as fast as the word gets passed around the online gun forums. To each his own, of course

Gentlemen-

Thank you for squaring me away. Much appreciate it.

Just tossing this out there. But when i got my first gen ruger charger in "stainless" i found out later the only thing thats stainless is the barrel. Not 100% sure if this is the same but looks to be so.
Still it does pack alot into that small package. I like my rugers.. Those sights are nice too. Looks kinda like my mkII Victory in athens. Need to drag that thing out. I think the rear sights just a blank blade. Been too long.

The barrel profile is about perfect. Threading is icing!

I'd be interested, but since some Washington voters are MORONS! and voted through I1639 to classify this as a "semi-automatic assault rifle" I haven't bought a semi auto rifle since. It is a very attractive rifle though, and the future owner should be pleased.
