It is the everyman’s, all-around .22 rifle. It shocks me when I find one that doesn’t! That’s because it provides immense enjoyment and capabilities for such a reasonable cost. Even out-of-box, the venerable 10/22 is accurate, very reliable, tough, ergonomic, lightweight, easy to use and carry, and most of all, fun! It continues to be an extremely successful Ruger design, having sold well over 5 million copies (and still going strong). It has out-sold and out-survived many other .22 designs to include the Remington Nylon 66. The 10/22 has always represented amazing value. That’s because for a reasonable price you are getting a rifle that will probably last your entire lifetime. My circa 1976 10/22 (shown) was given to me as a young man by my Dad and has adventured with me in the swamps of Florida and Alabama, the woods of Virginia, Montana, and Washington, the plains of North Dakota, and in the deserts of Utah, eastern Oregon, Arizona, and Idaho. And it’s still going strong. There are fancier and equally as-fun .22 rifles available but the 10/22s excel in most areas (and several cool Distributor Exclusive 10/22s abound, like the shown French walnut stocked TALO version) and provide unmatched versatility for the user. The 10/22 has a modular, simple design that makes upgrades to the trigger, bolt, magazine, stock, barrel, and sighting systems easy (many options shown …
I’d like to thank you for creating an hour long tutorial for the 10/22. I have to re-run through them because I got interupted a few times but I enjoyed seeing your enthusiasm for the rifle. I’m? thinking of buying my 1st rifle ever at 40 years old and the 10/22 is what I’m looking at. I came here to while researching peoples opinions. I’m not sure if I want a Carbine or a Tactical or a Compact so some of your comments helped illustrate the differences.
I love? the fact that you spent an hour telling us about one rifle. Its just that good, really. I love 10/22s
What kind of groups is everyone getting?? I’m considering a 10/22 sporter with a Nikon 4×32 scope…
haha? “nutnfancy clan”
@NathanFourString? lol
another great? video, thank you
I can just see 9 year old Nutn looking into? his friends backpack and start talking about size and weight constraint LOL
so? maybe an olive drab would be more practical…. @nutnfancy just wanted to say thanks for the detailed review….
Hey, just bought my first 10/22 yesterday. I’d been wantn? one for a while now and finally got it on an impulse. I bought my 10/22 b/c i new they reliable and easy to customize. This vid was very helpful to me, I know a little about guns, but i’ve never considered going with any after market parts or stocks, Just hearing some one who has this kind of experience with so many setup variation say what works well and what doesn’t is very helpful. I really like Dura-Coat, I live in the Mtns of KY
The 10/22 as a tactical or defense weapon is looking more and more viable as ammo prices SOAR!! Why buy a $400-500 tactical .22 from Sig or S@W when you can own a ROCK SOLID shooter like this for $200-300? Perfect for women and kids as a? trainer and still LETHAL in the hands of a marksman. The 10/22 is the reliable, accurate, affordable rifle waiting for you to come to your senses and stop flirting with those expensive AR knockoffs.
Right when you think the picture full of guns is a still? shot… SHAPOW! There comes Nutn’s hand lol
how? do you order from talo?
@mississippigunner Are you using the factory Ruger mag or interchanging aftermarket mags??

/watch?v=m9LmKyw6jE4 <<<check this for more video of this gun and some others? shooting!
AMERICA!?
everyone loves those Tapco stocks, I wish they? would make them for everything, I love my Tapco Mini-14
I was at the? store today and the man handed me a 10/22 with the bolt back and I too had no idea about the bolt lock mechanism above the trigger guard haha.
GREAT SERIES!! I am female and new to rifle shooting. Where do I get a threaded? barrel and an affordable scope from? What do you recommend? All the bells and whistles don’t matter. I just want something reliable and durable for SHTF. Thanks.
when you are talking about the front sight post aka the brass bead can? you take off the front and rear sight post
Every man’s gun that won’t? break the bank. Great review man.
god the? .22 is such a cheap fun gun to use….
Just picked up a Talo edition 10/22 which came equiped with an ATI folding stock. Really a nice stock.
Was gonna a get stock? gun and modify but then I have a stock that will never be used. This was easier.
