Seems like a great idea from Ruger. The 10/22 takedown has had my interest lately as well as the Henry's Survival rifle. I think the Ruger may win for my wants.
Wife and I both have been looking real seriously at the Takedown too. If we get one it will be the LITE that's ready for a can. The Henry unless things have changed I would avoid. Have had a couple and been around a bunch of them over the years. Rarely see one that just works. They always seem to need a lot of tweaking to get them to work.
From what I have read on the Survival Rifle the Henry's is the most reliable. And the Charter Arms was the most problematic.
But the Ruger TD is built like a tank in comparison, metal sights and barrel. Nice accuracy as well. And they make a standard model w a threaded m30 style flash suppressor. It's around the same weight as the light model but much less money. My 10/22 is too dam fancy for survival and it doesn't break down or have open sights.
Market. If they can pass the law to take them off the stamp list they just may. If the law can pass the market will fill the wants, and that is something there will be a lot of "want" for. I would love something like that. Slap on the suppressor as a complete unit. It would no doubt sell very well.It would be nice if Ruger sold the suppressor barrel separately and/or a shorter one for the Charger.

I don't know. Ruger has a habit (policy?) of not selling things like that separately. I was surprised when they recently started selling AR lowers - totally unlike them.
Either way, I agree with your assertion in general - if the HPA becomes law (crossing fingers and toes) then there will probably be a huge market for suppressors.

Ive got the takedown thread heavier barrel rifle. If they start offering that same barrel for the takedown model I wil be on it like a hobo on a hot dog.
When Bill was alive I wouldnt wipe my bubblegum with a Ruger. Glad to see theyve pulled their heads out.
