Believe it or not.
I stopped in this afternoon just because I was in the neighborhood and had a little time to kill. Thought I would see if they had any ammo (they did not) but I jokingly asked a clerk if they'd seen anything like a Ruger 10/22 lately.
The clerks eyes opened up and he said, "well yes, as a matter of fact, I think we have one in the back." He said they got one in last week and someone said they would buy it within hours of it hitting the shelf.
The buyer was delayed, for whatever reason, so was told to return in a couple of days.
Clerk said the guy came back a couple of days later, and they were in the middle of the background check when the buyer said, "never mind, I changed my mind, I don't want it now.
I asked what model it was and he said your basic plain-jane 10/22. Blued barrel and receiver, wood stock, one 10 round mag...
I asked how much. The clerk said $229!
I've been looking on Armslist, on here, on Gunbroker, Davison's Gun Genie...
If you can find a 10/22 right now, seems everyone wants $400+ for even the most basic model. I saw one ad that actually said, "like new in Box- only 1000 rounds down the barrel... ONLY $365!
Soooo.....
+1 to Dick's for not gouging like it seems everyone else is.
