Ha! I got my first rifle from Service Merchandise back in the early 80s. The 10/22 was too expensive for a kid on a meager allowance, but a Marlin 60 could be had with 4x Tasco scope for all of $65! I took this very same rifle to the range today and had a little fun. I upgraded the scope a few years after I got it, but other than that it is original down to the squirrel stock!
I'm currently putting together the parts to build a 10/22, and it's turning out to be a whole lot more expensive than they were when I was a teenager! Luckily I no longer have to depend on an allowance to buy such things.

=================
since just about everyone has a 10/22 I'm surprised this thread isn't more updated
new to me 10/22 takedown model 11139. mossy oak camo pattern. stainless threaded barrel.
it came in this nice case.
With the Bushnell TRS-25 red dot sight on it, both halves fit in the case. tried a 2 - 7 x 32 scope but it made it too long. $60 red dot fits my use case for inexpensive bugout/truck/survival/50-yard plinker gun.
my previous 10/22 carbine was wood stocked. wasn't sure I'd like the polymer, but it's light and has a decent feel to it.
this thing was in the case when I bought it. Anyone have a clue what it's for?

ok there is that same lock, too. thanks.
I just started to play around with these. Got a Competition model for an Appleseed event last year, then I sorta liked it, so now I'm setting one up to play Steel Challenge, ordered a Magpul lightweight stock, mounted an SRO red dot and dropped in a Kidd single stage trigger. It's a cool little gun to play around with on the range.

It is what it is for a while. budget plinker, not an accurized precision thing or anything fancy. I'll put money toward mags and ammo.
and now that I have two guns with threaded barrels I could look into getting a can

i didn't grab a photo unfortunately, but at our shoot Sunday, one guy had a 2.5lb 10/22 with a 3d printed receiver, short barrel (6" of rifling and 10" shroud and carbon minimalist buffer tube, stock. crazy light.

This RDS mount looks like it has some promise.

I'm going to give it a try on my 10/22 TD.
I have a similar mount on my Ruger MKII for a Vortex Viper and it marries up well.

I have an Outer Impact mount on my 10/22 and on a MK-III pistol. It attached more securely to the receiver rather than in the dovetail slot, and it supports more red dots. You should give it a look if you haven’t purchased yet.

The Ruger 10-22 is everyman’s .22 plinker. One can modify it to the point of being unrecognizable, or simply shoot it “as is” and have more fun than with any other single firearm. Or anywhere in between.
I have two, both identical. (No. 2 is for my wife.) Stainless take-down models. Made only a couple of changes: Tandenkross bolt release and Vortex Venom red dots. Also purchased mag loaders, the disassembly tool sold by Tandenkross, and the mag disassembly/assembly tools by Tandenkross.
Downsides? .22 ammo is dirty; .22 autos get dirtier than bolt guns or revolvers; and you have to keep them clean. No big deal (especially with the take-down model, which allows cleaning from the breech end). And nothing can cause a brick or two of .22 ammo to melt faster than two people blasting away with 10-22s (particularly if you live in places where 25-shot mags are legal).

Which one? The 2nd and 3rd rifle have suppressed barrels. I got them both of of Gunbroker a few years ago.
It is legal. I'm an 07/02 FFL/SOT so I'm licensed to deal in NFA items. So no real hoops to jump through. I just found it on gunbroker cheaper than I could buy it from my distributors. Purchased it. The seller did a form 3 to me and when it was approved the seller shipped it out to me.
If it had been sold to an individual then it would have to be shipped to a SOT dealer in the person's state. Then the SOT would have to do a form 4 to the individual. When the form 4 was approved by the ATF the SOT could transfer the suppressor to the individual.

Mine is pretty stock.
I replaced the plastic barrel band with an aluminum one.
I replaced the smooth buttplate with a rubber one that looks like a recoil pad - but it adds an inch to the too short stock and doesn't slide off my shoulder.
I modified the bolt release plate so it's easier to release the bolt when held open by just pulling and releasing.
I waffle between a scope and basic iron sights - either are good enough for what I do.
