OP jk16 Campfire Tracker J Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 4,976	This is a nice condition 1978 vintage Ruger pre- warning 10/22 Walnut Carbine for sale. This gun was made early in 1978 before they changed over to the Warnings on the barrels later in the Summer. The guns has a well fitted very nicely colored American black walnut stock with the plastic buttplate that because standrd a year or tow before the rifle was made. I have shot this rifle enough to know it is one of the more accurate 10/22s I have ever owned. With an old El Paso made 4x Weaver on board it actually outshot my then new Tikka T!X at 25 yards with CCI mini Mags HPs, this little gun drilled a few 1/4 5 shot groups that beat out the Tikka.. I am not claiming it is a consistent MOA gun but like I said, it is as accurate and reliable as any Ruger 10/22 I have shot in the last 45 years. It is a good one. My price on this is $345 plus $35 shipping with NO TAX from my local FFL to yours. USPS Money order as payment please. I want to sell this gun so no trade or low ball offers please.

And besides this has sat here and tempted me long enough. I picked up another one here 2 or 3 weeks ago so now I can have a shooting match all by myself. 🥴 I’ll take it. PM later today to arrange payment. You wont be disappointed, my 1970’s 10-22 shoots excellent. I like guns \| optics \| fishing

The question now is to whom. Everyone who has posted here with interest has been sent PMs and they will be kept in the loop as to availability once a deal is finalized. I thank everyone for their interest and nice comments about the gun. It is a nice little rifle.
