The Only 3 10/22s Worth Buying (Most Are A Waste Of Money)
Ruger makes 47 different versions of the 10/22. Only 3 are actually worth your money. The rest? Marketing hype and cosmetic changes that don't improve performance.
In this video, I reveal exactly which 10/22 models are worth buying and why the others are a complete waste of money. We break down the Ruger 10/22 Carbine, Competition model, and Takedown—the only three factory models that deliver real value without needing thousands in upgrades.
🎯 THE 3 MODELS WORTH BUYING:
• Ruger 10/22 Carbine (Blued, Hardwood) - Best reliability and value
• Ruger 10/22 Competition - Only factory model with real accuracy upgrades
• Ruger 10/22 Takedown - Portability without sacrificing accuracy
⚠️ MODELS TO AVOID:
Target models with heavy barrels, synthetic stock models, stainless variants, threaded barrel upcharges, and special editions with cosmetic upgrades that don't improve performance.
