Help locating 10/22 target model.

[slogoat]

Hey guys,

Trying to help a buddy locate a ruger 10/22 target model. Specifically model number 1262, which has a black laminate stock and matte stainless finish. In the Lake Charles area, but willing to travel a little ways if he can locate one.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I wish I had good news, but the target models are just hard to come by. Most people who want a 10-22 have one of two goals in mind usually. One: have a gun that sits behind the recliner to shoot at random furry animals in the yard. Two: want the receiver to build a fun target gun. I'm guessing your buddy falls in the latter. The first category person does not want to spend extra money on a higher model, the basic 10-22 or take down model is perfect for them. The target plinker person generally wants to build their own, so the usually buy the gun just for the receiver. Academy usually carries both of the basic and take down models. So the biggest question is does he want to spend money? A few local shops may carry the Magnum Research version of the 1022, which although is a bit pricey for a .22, it is a great "out of the box" target platform.

Sorry guys, forgot to update this thread. A member here PM'd me after I posted with info on a shop that had one in stock. My buddy ordered it and is having it shipped to a local FFL. I should know this week if all worked out. If so, I'll post in here that the hunt is over. Thanks again for those that helped source one!
