I picked up a couple of vintage 10/22's...one canadian centennial and one made in 1971 (according to the ruger web page)....what do you guys think of the older 10/22's?..any real difference?..is there any collector value?....thanks
Yes I kind of like them and think they are worth a lot more!!
I added the three DSP's to this list that will give all the stock variations from 64-71. The good years!!! There is a couple extras in there. A Carbine and Canadian. The first 2 DSP's are prototype stocks.

well if what iv been told is true the finger grooves are kinda rare and worth a bit more than rest and the finger grove with the checkering sould be worth double the none checkered
Any of the old Fingergooves or International with factory hand checkering are rare (the Canadian the exception) and very nice to handle and they do bring twice as much money. I didn't put these up here to show off. I like to bring interest in collecting these old guns. It can be quite fun and sometimes quite a hunt. I have a lot more and a lot more to find!! Some I have searched for years and still haven't found them!!
Ruger made the walnut Internationals and Fingergrooves both checkered and uncheckered from 1966-1971. The International even had a special barrel. The band that the front sight sets in extended the full length of the barrel. Showed in the picture. Also there was two types of checkering on the forend. The bottom one in the picture is the rarest.
A few low numbers. These are really neat seeing that the 10/22 must have passed the 5000,000 mark!!
just awsome you are one lucky man Ruger66 and are probly the guy to answer this question what year did ruger start offering the silver reciever and would you have any pics of the early silver finish ? did they ever come in the DSP or finger grove ?
