There are a lot of different options for the 22/45, so $250 could be a sale price for some or regular price for the others. Go to Ruger's website to see all the options they have.Was the $249 price a sale price or regular? Was looking at these in the latest cabela's ad, like the looks of the 22/45 better. Cabela's has sale price of $249 on the 22/45, but i could stop at mc sports in kokomo on saturday and not have to deal with going to hammond
