Special Edition 10/22s

Ruger has produced a good number of special edition 10/22s in recent years, here are a sampling of them:

One of the first special edition 10/22s was made in 1967 for the Canadian Centennial. They were ordered by Peterborough Guns Ltd in Canada and packaged with a Remington 742 Woodsmaster rifle.

In 1973 Ruger made these special "Green Beret" edition rifles, only six were made, making them extremely rare. The metal parts were coated in an olive drab Teflon coating.
