Ruger 10/22 Target Tactical?

[cagilber]

Ruger has recently released a new version of their 10/22 rifle called the Target Tactical (VLEH)



It's pretty much the same as the 10/22T model (but with Hogue stock and bi-pod) and has the same precision-rifled, cold hammer-forged, spiral-finished barrel...but the barrel is shortened to 16-1/8".

I've seen these sell for between $410 and $430 on broker.com recently. I went to 5 gun stores here in south-central Indiana today and couldn't find any for sale.

Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere yet? Someone on AR15.com has informed me that "Zanders" (G1230) has 73 of them in stock, but I'de rather find one in person and buy it like that or try to get it through Gallery of Guns.

I haven't seen one, but the picture you posted and pics I found on the web look sweet.

Seems a little expensive to me, but if it fits what you want nearly out of the box, it's probably worth it. By the time most people buy aftermarket items for theirs, if they were honest, they'd probably have $400 into a base 10/22 anyway.

Post some information, please if you buy one...

Pieces-parts will add up but it's great fun shooting a gun you assembled yourself.

New 10/22 donor rifle - $200
Hogue stock - $57.00
Green Mountain .920 barrel - $90
Shooters Ridge bipod - $40
Total - $387
Building the gun yourself - Priceless!

built pretty much the same gun, and pushed it to the limits here.... tactical target would be a good description because its super light, and decently accurate... not a fan of the flexiness of the houge stock though

Is this thread a joke? What is "tactical" about putting a heavy barrel, bipod, and rail on a 10-22?

Seriously, is this rifle for real? What is "tactical" anyway? What would you use a rig like this for?

Oh, how I "love" the word Tactical.

Actually, a well placed .22 LR is pretty good making things cease to function. You have to know what you're doing and be closer than a centerfire allows. Have that barrel threaded 1/2-28, slip a can on it and an ant's fart would be louder.

My thread is definitely not a joke. The rifle is real....you would use it to shoot .22 ammo.

APRIL FOOLS!!!!! ohhh wait

You didn't get the memo about the word "tactical" adding +100000 to the awesome ranking and +100000 to the "better then everything else" rating?

Why do there always have to be haters?
