(Ruger’s patent expired.)

Seems that should change the 10/22 market dramatically. Can you say lower prices .............



.... but where's the freakin' ammo?!?

 

[franzas]

Man, I might have to get one. My Remington 597 ain't worth a shit as far as accuracy. It would be fun to have a cheap 10/22 that I can customize.

This is what would keep my from snagging one of these. It would be another gun I can't find ammo to feed. When .22LR is available again, I might get one.

My guess is that when ammo ia available the gun won't. Not at $160 anyway. IMO

Is there any word about full compatibility? That would be somethin' if they accepted all ruger components/parts. Also, 22 ammo is popping up again. Maybe a bit on the high side but it's out there.

Where do you see it for $159.95? Their flyer says retail is $315.

The SOG flyer I have in front of me, I received today, on the back page......

MSRP may be $315.00, but why would anyone buy at that price?

edit: FFL Dealer price.....

Guess they don't want to advertise the actual price in the online flyer then.

So now we know how bad you're trying to screw us

I'd like to hold one and look at it.

is Rock Island in south America?

 

[itchin]

I want one.

 

[Bozz10mm]

It looks like it has better sights than a Ruger. I think Rock Island is in the Philippines. I would probably buy one for $160, just out of curiosity. It probably will take Ruger mags.

 

[Dawico]

If that is the dealer price ($160) then they will probably be about the same price as a 10/22. I would rather get a real 10/22 for even $40 more.

Isn't that same model 10/22 about $200 at Walmart? I may be remembering wrong though.

 

[TexMex247]

I poked around a bit. It looks like they are made by Armscor in the Phillipines and branded/imported by Rock island. According to one write up I saw, they claimed "full compatibility" with all ruger parts/accy's with just a different sight design on their stock model.

They are an importer primarily out of the Philippines.

 

[breakingcontact]

Id rather pay $200 for an American made gun.

 

[matefrio]

If they were smart they'd release the receiver only for $50.00.

If the parts are junk then might as well buy a Kidd receiver for the same price.

 

[Davetex]

They will soon be making guns in the US. Here's an interesting history of the company.
