Part 2 of 2: Every shooter in the US should own a Ruger 10/22 (and I wish my overseas viewers could too!). 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 …
Another Nunfancy 2010 SHOT Show adventure! An in-depth hit on all things Smith and Wesson including summaries of the M&P 15-22 .22s (the MOE version is an improvement), M&P15 rifles (the M&P 15PSX with Troy Industries TRX low profile handguard is impressive), the brand new “Bodyguard 380″ (great design it seems) and “Bodyguard 38″ line, the Performance Center revolvers, the Walther line, the S&W 1911s (I dig that 1911PD), several of the Classic revolvers, the .22s (I want the 317 Airlite but so much $$), and the excellent M&P pistol lineup (rapidly becoming another Nutnfancy favorite in my tactical shooting…smooth and fast!). So many fine firearms in the expansive booth, it was all I could do to show you what I did…lots of work and very little time to do it. S&W prices many of their guns on the high side I say but their quality is indisputable as we see again here. Most S&Ws last several lifetimes, are accurate, have enduring, well-proven designs, and give great pride of ownership. Thanks to the reps here who stepped up to another no-notice TNP booth review! ////////////////////////////////////////////// Music: www.archive.org
