Takedowns are a fairly hot item right now...that being said most gun shops know this and are not likely to be dropping the price anytime soon. If you see the particular TD you want and the price is between 350.00 -370.00 you may want to scoop it up. I saw a camo TD in a gun shop today and the price was $479.00??? I shook my head and laughed you have GOT to be kidding me?

Watch takedowns on gun broker and other sellers on the net, this will give you a general idea of what this rifle is selling for. Be warned that some GB prices are crazy.

For what its worth....good luck!

Nice job on the wood stock!

Per OP, I paid $289 about three months ago. Was shopping for a carbine model for some plinking fun. LGS had none of these but 8 Takedowns. Just to soothe my disappointment, they sold me the TD for th carbine price.

I couldn't be happier. Great little rifle...added an inexpensive red dot (Sightmaster, I think...$40 from Academy)...and now NO can or plastic water bottle is safe!

I wanted a TD in .22 lr so I did a bit of research and found many good reviews on the Ruger 10/22TD so I went and got one. The importer over here is a thief + there's another 150 bucks enforced by law, so pointless telling you how much I was ripped off.

But after shooting it I will sooner or later make a review in which I'll put in evidence all the issues I think it has, here's a list of them:
The TD mechanism is arguably flawed in the design
The scope rail obscures the stock iron sights
The stock iron sights are questionable
You have a very limited scope selection if you want to bag the TD with the scope on (in it's original bag)
You have a very limited aftermarket choice for the TD
It's accuracy makes it only good for plinking


So if I were to go back maybe I'd look for another TD in 22lr.

louigi600: im no TD fanatic or apologist, but if u did ur research and read reviews couldn't you have address some of ur issues BEFORE buying the gun.

i.e. price...im sure u check Ruger's website to see what it sells for retail. Perhaps you could have pulled prices from gunbroker in terms of market value, and why did you willfully purchase a gun you know its over price from "thief."

buying a gun is like buying a pair of running shoes. u can read reviews and watch all the videos. but its only when u tried them on and even go for a run is only when you know if you like the shoes or not.

im looking to buy a TD. i read the reviews and watch the videos. but i also shot my buddy's 10/22. and like the way it shoots. i also been to a couple of gun stores and played with TD feature. i also registered on forums like this so i have an idea what TD owners are doing with their gun. im also paying attention to what the gun stores in my area are charging compared to what people are paying for throughout the country with keeping in mind the retail price and see if im getting over charge.

All that applies if you live in the US or Canada. I think hes across the pond. So if you want one. You buy one. I bet they are hard toget there. And people charge what they want. I dont think its like here where you found one online in X.. and have it shipped to your LGS.. Pay for the transfer and be out the door.. just my 2 cents

I reckon the prices you guys are paying are pretty good, here in NZ this rifle has proven very popular and each shipment sells fast so prices are a bit higher.

I had to wait 8 weeks for mine to arrive from the States, RRP here is US$550 but I managed to get mine for US$480 with a Tuffer Buffer thrown in.

Accuracy has proven on par with my old stainless/synthetic and reliability is awesome, however the rougher finish disappointed me.
Apart from that, I'm stoked with mine.
