What is the deal with 10-22s???
« on: January 26, 2013, 02:48:14 AM »
What is going on, why are even the plain wood stock 10-22s starting bring over $350.00?  And you can't find a take-down on the shelf anywhere?

It's in all the papers. There is a panic going on brother. The Feds are coming for all of our guns. ::)  So we're all going out buying them all so as the gun makers won't go broke. ;D 


You probably thought all those folks were in a marathon or something. Be patient, supply will return, and prices will stabilize. No doubt the tide will rise, but panic pricing is temporary. Put a bit of thought into being satisfied with what you have right now. If the guns never return you will have already gotten on with life. More likely though is you will run across a good deal on a lightly used model that some yuppy bought on a whim.

I stopped in two gun shops yesterday. One had a well used 110/22 price$365.00!  I asked about the price on a used 270 Ruger 77 and was told "guns are hard to get now, so we have to price high".  I didn't know there was a shortage on deer rifles and 22's. I think some sellers are just trying to profit on the slow thinkers right now.

Very typical, folks see more profit and take advantage of circumstance that cause shortages/rampant buying, the biggest advantage they can gain for the almighty buck their only guide.   Doesn't matter they bought the item at a fair price before the panic buying/shortage, even for items not in shortage, greed just kicks in.   Was the same with the long running reloading component shortage a while back... greed, rampant greed to levels I hadn't seen in over 50 years of reloading.   SR primers for $200/1K for example when before the shortage maybe $30.   I had way more than enough components, same as I have always had more than enough firearms, so I don't cater to blatant greed nor ever buy from those sellers again that did so after it runs its course.   I have an early Ruger 77PL 270Win I bought new and used for a few years in the 70's/early 80's.  Probably has less than 50-60 rounds fired in it.   I haven't used it since, never will again, but would it make it HONEST to sell it for the current greedy trends now.   My ethics don't allow it, the almighty buck doesn't run my life like it does with so many others.
 
Best is to weather out this crap if you can IMO, it will subside or end eventually depending on how the political BS goes.

One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Try buying just about anything now in NYS after Gov. Como's new gun laws.  Most stores have little ammo or guns left and are unable to restock with the exception of shotguns without pistol grips.  Prices on guns left over are running double what they were a few months ago.
