Best place to get a Ruger 10/22?

[iSaladbar]

ZX guns in fort wayne had the 10/22 takedown, blued barrel w/ synthetic stock & laser for $319.99. I went to Dicks and they had the standard wood stock and blued barrel for $259 and 21st Century in Bluffton had black synthetic with blued barrel for $249 which is what i was looking for so I picked it up. ZX guns has GREAT prices just didn't have what I was looking for :/

Which Walmarts in indiana sell firearms? Is there any way to check stock?

The Walmart in franklin sells firearms, last I checked they had a few Mossberg 500's, several Ruger Americans, a Rem 700, and a Rem 870

Haven't seen a 10/22 yet

unless you are protesting Dicks spineless caving to "assault bans" they usually have the best deals on 10/22's. I'd rather pay $30.00 more and not go there myself

Ashamed to say but I got mine at Dick's :s. BUT... in my defense it was like a month before sandy hook and I got it out the door for under $200. Standard edition of course.

So would I be getting ripped off if I got the 10/22 with the 20" barrel for about $270 including ffl fee? I like longer barrels because I dunno why but I got 1.5" is pretty minor.

Bradis had a couple earlier this week, as did the Gander mountain in Castleton.

I have 3: bought one at Dicks, one at Walmart, and one at Dunhams. All three seem to have them pretty regularly at comparable prices.

So far the lowest I have found locally is $229. $245 with tax. Good?

I would say yes. That's what I paid for mine and it was as good as it got in January of this year.

Would you guys suggest getting a synthetic stock over a wooden one?

Go wooden stock. Better for sling swivels if you ever plan to try an appleseed

I put sling swivels in a synthetic stock and used it for an Appleseed. No problem at all, and I did not have to worry about the rain or mud damaging the synthetic stock or the stainless steel barrel.

The original wood looks better, but the synthetic will handle the sling swivels without difficulty.

Can someone explain the barrel band to me? I've heard some people say not to get one with it. Thanks!

Walmart has a decent selection at good prices. I got mine at elmores bc it is so close to me though. People usually give elmores a bad rap but I've never really had a problem there

Guns & Tackle in Greensburg has 4 different models for $250 each.

I can't believe any self respecting gun owner would let themselves get Dicked. Probably shop CTD as well.

How much is it at Dicks anyway?

I'm pretty sure all of them are now, and if they don't have one in stock, ask them if they can order it.

The Wal-Mart in Michigan City doesn't sell any guns but pellet guns. They have ammo(well, they used to) and accessories like targets, cleaning supplies, eye/ear pro, but no actual firearms.

I'll answer my own question: it's $249 or $259 at Dicks. What a ripoff!

In my recent search you have two options in this current panic climate:

1. Buy it for more at a big box that actually has one. Its a premium but you actually have the luxury of having it NOW.

2. search high and low for a LGS that actually has one (if you can at all) and possibly waste that savings over option 1 in gas and time spent driving (which sometimes makes the far away LGS "deal" more costly than 1.)

3. Special order one from your local preferred LGS that has a good price and wait. (and wait, and wait and wait)

YMMV

*EDIT*
Expounding on #3: I was looking for a gun the other day. I wont name names but one LGS that I find VERY reliable said sure, they'd order it. But I would have to put a down payment on a gun they could sell in a heartbeat if I walked, even though they couldnt tell me when (they said they SHOULD be able to get it but couldnt guarantee). I understand requiring a deposit for a "left handed 16Ga shotgun with purple stock" but for a weapon that would fly off the shelf if somebody came looking for one without being brand specific? Not a chance.

Another LGS had them on order but didnt know when they would get them... they offered to put me "on the list" (without a deposit) so that I got first dibs when it hit the front door. THATS more like it!

While I would have been glad to put down cash for "We can get them in 2-3 weeks", putting money down for a theoretical resupply that could be 6+ months out... not a chance.
