Aren't they offering a variant with a threaded barrel now?
Just checked. According to Ruger's site there is one with a threaded barrel & flash suppressor on it now. It's satin black alloy steel instead of stainless steel. When I bought mine there wasn't one available. It would have been nice. It would have even saved me some cash.
I guess patience is not one of your virtues?
It's not. The funny part is I don't really care for a 10/22 either. I just liked the take down capability. It was another enabler purchase. I was looking at it and the wife talked me into buying it.
Are you dyslexic or did your wife really talk you into it?
Skinner Sights has shortened their dovetail mount peep to fit the 10/22 takedown. looks real nice.
Keep in mind when looking for a optic a lot of them will make the gun not fit in the bag anymore. Most Ive mounted the customer went with QD rings because if the gun doesn't fit in the bag it kind of defeats the purpose.
