Was at one of our nice local gun stores today, intending to kill a little time. Didn't quite work out that way. They had a stainless deluxe sporter there with the 22" barrel. Somehow I was not aware until this morning that I "needed" one of those. I did, though. Need it.

The guy there said they were surprised to get one like that. It's listed on Rugers sight as a Lipsey's distributor exclusive. Sure is pretty.

Staying on the wagon is over rated. Congradulations on your "fall".

Pictures or..............it didn't happen!

We've all been there, but we do need to see pictures

I've fallen off so many wagons, I can't keep count!


Enjoy!

Happens to me all the time. I was hoping once I retired it might stop but no luck so far.

What wagon?
Congratulations.

Will post pix, but am not home today.

If I go into a gun shop it would be wrong not to buy something if only a can of cleaning fluid etc.

Going into your LGS is like going into a Costco, you are bound to walk out with something.

 

[FiremanBob]

Yup, if I saw one of those on the rack, I'd be on it like a CIA director on a hot young writer.

Sadly i don't seem to be able to get on the wagon in the first place.

 

[JK55]

I don't have that problem...

Saying 'fallen off the wagon' implies there is something bad about buying guns. Totally not the case!!

It did happen

Sorry these are so late in coming, but, better late than never...

Next to the standard 10/22 carbine:

They are so nice lookin' you're off the hook for being late with the pics!

 

[North country gal]

As one who has not only fallen, but been run over by the wagon, I say, good for you. Nice 10/22.

Whooh - that is one nice looking 10/22. Are they still making the deluxe Sporter? Is it an exclusive?

 

[Seneca]

I gave up on getting back on the wagon...doesn't do me any good...nice pictures...

A deluxe sporter came out several years ago with circasian walnut stocks...an exclusive of some kind or other...I'm such a sucker for a pretty piece of wood...and I might add the owner of a circasian stocked 10/22 deluxe sporter...lol

I scoff at the wagon!

The one I got is a Lipsey's dealer exclusive. I really wanted a deluxe sporter with the walnut stock. Mine has a birch stock, but it does have checkering, and a 22 in. stainless barrel. Oh, and sling swivels, too. I guess it will have to do. .

I finally saw a walnut sporter the other day, but someone else was buying it. It was the only one the store had. Apparently they are making them, they are just hard to find.
