Ruger Rifle 10/22 Rifle TD Marine .22lr SS/SYN 11193

I have been looking at this rifle for awhile. This was the cheapest place on the net I found. Very fast shipping. Took it out to the range and shot better pattern than any other rifle than I have before. The only thing is I wish I would have waited a week and got it in the Mossy Oak pattern. If Palmetto State would like I will trade. Good gun

So PSA finally got me to scratch the "10/22 Itch" with their "daily deal" just a little while ago.

Transaction was an easy purchase / delivery to my local FFL. Rifle arrived and I did a quick cleaning/lube and inspection before heading to the range. (Quick hint use a heat gun or hair dryer to remove those stickers if needed). The case is a nice little water resistant / gasket sealed case that will be nice for protection in a damp environment aboard a canoe or boat or camping or whatever. (If packing the soft "backpack" version may be easier to carry). Only comes with the one BX25 mag. Would be nice to have a smaller 10 round mag or two included.

Anyway initial impressions at the range were very favorable. A little tricky to load the mags for the first time but easy after a very fast learning curve. Suggest looking at the Ruger forums or Rimfire Central to get a rundown of some of the little quirks that are not "problems" but little oddities with the rifle. The bolt release for instance.

So first mag was quite accurate... second mag the rounds were all over the place..... Third mag....?? wait... where did the front sight go?? .... So before even firing a full three mags of ammo on a brand new rifle the front sight walked itself right off the rifle. Found it but that finished the range trip for the day. Not happy. Come on Ruger. How about some better quality control for this little rifle!!??

One of the other oddities encountered when the top "rail" was mounted the iron sights are not visible. One more of those things that is commonly known about and an entire industry of upgrades and mods exists to fix things that Ruger puts out that are not exactly user friendly.

So overall?? Very glad to have the Marine Version. With the stainless barrel polymer stock and water-resistant case hope to have it for a long time to come. Suggested? Absolutely especially if you can find it on a sale/deal BUT recommended with a few caveats..... prepare to spend some additional money on accessories and upgrades.

I picked this up last time around for $249.99. For a stainless 10/22 with a nice case and a bx25 I couldn't find one for close to this price anywhere. The takedown feature is really easy to use and the synthetic stock makes this gun super light. I was happy to add this to my safe.

I picked up two very happy and they shipped fast Thanks PSA for a great product at a great price
