The Wal-Mart on the west side of Evansville sells 10/22's. I went there last week and held a Wood Stock SS Barrel they had for $235.
It had the plastic trigger group and the cast of the receiver just didn't feel as good as the ones I felt at a local shop just 30 minutes earlier. The barrel was also not smoothed like other 10/22s, it still had the tooling marks on it. The barrel band was also plastic.
But still, it had a 22" barrell, and I'm going to replace almost everything anyway, so I went back to buy it today...and they were sold out. Should have gotten it when I had the chance. If you find the gem, they have the 22" SS barrel, composite stock for $260 at times, and same gun with a 18" Barrel is $318 on Ruger's site.
On a sidenote, they did have a Mossberg 535 Combo 24Rifled/28VR for $240...almost picked that up even with no need for it.
Tell City walmart sells them as well, probably going to make the trek tommorow.
went to the south walmart in terre haute last night. they have a carbine length 10-22 in stock. I also read on rimfirecentral.com that they (walmart) are going to discontinue selling the 10-22.
Check with Rendezvous guns in Greenfield. He had several new in the box the last time I was there.(last weekend) I dont remember the exact price but it struck me as a pretty good deal. Phone number: 462-1080.
