So, you think you'd like a 10/22 magnum.

This guy really likes 10/22 magnums!

Ruger 10/22 Magnum For Big $$$ - RimfireCentral.com Forums

According to posts in the above thread, the same buyer has now bid big bucks on a 4th NIB 10/22 magnum. He has bought 3 already and paid $1800 for the last one! I haven't logged onto gunbroker to confirm buyer info but have no reason to doubt info in the thread. It contains GB links.

who knows. some people just have that bug i suppose. if you got them money do you. i would be passing though

I saw one at the 1500 for $750 and i was sure tempted!

The Remington 597 in 17 HMR that were "bought back" are going to be priced even higher in a few years. I'm kinda bummed i only have 3.

597 & 10/22 HMRs

Hang around rimfire central and you'll find there are quite a few 10/22 magnums and HMR conversions as well as 597 HMRs that are still running just fine. I'd really like to see how much Remington profited on their lowball buy-back deal.

HK made a 22 mag rifle that was a dandy and for those prices one could get on of those.

Makes me wonder what the Butler Creek steel lip extended mags for them are worth...

why that much for a 10/22 magnum. saw one on gunbroker last night for 800 and still going.

 

[lonnie58]

I didn't know they stopped making the magnum, that sux. I had mine stolen years ago and have always wanted to pick up another one.

Why that much indeed!

This one is on gunbroker at $1550 as of 5 minutes ago. Why that much? I'm thinking only a psychiatrist could answer that question!

Is there an 800 number for 10/22 magnum fetish support?

 

[DRob]

OMG

The gunbroker listing now indicates this gun has sold for (drum roll please) $3,025!

Something just ain't quite right!

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

If I were you, DRob, I'd put yours up for sale. Cash in on that gravy train! hehe

-J-

 

[DRob]

Done

I've got one for sale as we speak. I posted it for sale here and got one nibble but no takers. TSG has it on consignment unless they sold it at the 1500. I haven't been by to check on it. I'll guarantee it is better than any NIB 10/22 magnum and you can pick it up for a whole lot less than what this guy is paying!

I know there are at least two guys on rimfire central who are putting new ones on gunbroker as a result of these sales.

 

[DRob]

Better question.......

why don't you list yours there then?

You mean on gunbroker? I don't do online gun sales or purchases. I won't sell unless I can do FTF and then I still might not sell.

I think these sales are a guy who has way more money than sense. He's spent around $4000 for 3 of them. A different buyer, or at least a different buyer name, bought the $3,025 gun.

 

[lonnie58]

That's just insane. I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a 22. Maybe some collector down the road would think they are worth that much. Or he's able to see into the future or something...lol

I've got a buddy that's has a similar fetish with 22 shorts. To each his own I guess! LOL
