Thank you! I've searched and I've found their website, I just didn't find what was different from factory versions, specifically the 10/22. I do see a few different versions, Mule Deer Foundation, Wild Brush, etc. But other than cosmetics, is that all?

 

Pretty much. They design and market special versions of many different manufacturer's models. Short runs, limited time availability.

Here are their current 10/22 offerings Ruger Collection - Talo Distributors (taloinc.com)

Yes, it's pretty much COSMETICS..........

 

Talo are special edition guns made specifically for the distributor; Davidson's I think. If you shop Davidson's Gallery of Guns, you should be able to shop the Talo guns. They are from several manufactures, not just Ruger. Usually, they are subtle differences in the product like the color or finish. Another distributor, Lipsey's, does the same thing; "Lipsey's Exclusives".

 

Many thanks guys!! I’ve got my eye on one of them now on auction. Appreciate the input!!

 

Probably hard for USA members to get but here is a listing for one in Canada.

Might be good for a price comparison if you take into consideration the exchange rate.

 

Special stock configurations is probably the most common difference-- French walnut, those crazy shark and mule deer carvings, etc. Differently appointed versions of various models is one of their things, too. I have a TALO edition of the LVT with a Hogue overmolded stock that's an excellent shooter and is a really good combination of stock and barrel options.

 

I've heard that Talo makes " Fish Hooks " for those of us that bite at something a little bit different or luring. Doesn't hurt that it's unusual or nicer/interesting. From an admitted impulse buyer ( I have 8 different Talo edition rifle and pistols )

 

I bought this one about 6 weeks ago, and it shoots about as good as my bolt actions. I think it’s my new favorite rifle.
