We have been doing this for 8 years now, I have provided links to the previous years below.
In their April 2010 gun review, The Truth About Guns said this about the 10/22 "You'll never confuse the Ruger with rigles that won the West or a mucho macho black gun, but The Little Carbine That Could has the goods to Git 'er Done"
The 10/22 is the most imitated, most copied .22 rifle ever made.
Ruger & TALO added another special edition 10/22 Sporter rifle, this one feature Rocky Mountain outdoors scene.
The first description given about the 10/22 to the general public was: "The New Ruger 10/22 .22 Caliber R.F. Self-Loader"
In Walt Kulek's book The Ruger 10/22 Complete Owner's and Assembly Guide, Kulek said of the 10/22 "the 10/22 emerged as a phenomenon all its own"
In 2009 Ruger introduced a special 10/22 model called the VLEH model (see below) the initials stood for V= Varmit, LE= Law Enforcement, H=Hogue stock
In 1964 Guns and Ammo tested several .22 auto-loading rifles, one of the tests included rate of fire. The 10/22 had one of the slowest rates of fire at 945 rounds per minute, while the fastest was the Mossberg 351C at 1600 rounds per minute.
Survival Sullivan said of the 10/22: "....it is the best .22 LR caliber rifle that you can buy..."
Thompson/Center (owner by S&W) reinvented the 10/22s rotary 10 round magazine, see below
The current Ruger 10/22 Magazine (BX-1)
and the original patent drawings for the 10/22's magazine
According to Bev Fitchett's Guns website, the open bolt conversion is the ideal selective fire conversion for the 10/22
At one time, Rimfire Tech was making replacement triggers from solid brass (BTW I hate Photobucket!)
The first take down option for a 10/22 came from Ramline, the kit came with a plastic folding stock and a plastic quick detach barrel that had a steel collar and liner.
The survival blog Willow Haven Outdoor, called the Ruger 10/22 "the Survival Cameleon."
The 10/22 made an appearance in the 2005 movie Stone Cold, starring Tom Selleck.
