I bought my first Ruger at Wards in Napa kalifornia in 1980.It is a 10-22 carbine.It cost $79.00 plus tax.They could not find the magazine for it,so they knocked $10.00 off the $79.00--Picked up a replacement magazine for $6.00 plus tax.I still have it,but it is semi retired.My second Ruger was bought at Wards in Walnut Creek Kalifornia.It was a toss up between Smith & Wesson model 41 target pistol,or a SS NM 357 Blackhawk with a six-1/2 inch barrel.Got the Ruger and had to wait 2 weeks to pick it up.It cost $237.00 plus tax.I also still own that one,with less than a box of shells thru it.Third one was bought in 1982 in Vancouver Washington at a pawnshop for $125.00 plus tax.Still has orig box and paperwork.It was made in 1971 and has the A54 gripframe.I bought this one because we had been at a garage sale at a cemetary in Portland Oregon across the river from us.The guy having the sale had a Ruger magazine for a A100 framed 22 auto for $1.00---I bought it and then went looking for a gun to use it in.I had been wanting to buy a early 22 auto pistol because I had read Ruger had quit making them.I also still own it.And then got a 5-1/2 bull barrel 22 auto at the flea market.It was made in 1977 and cost me a whole $75.00--Next one my mother inlaw bought me at a estate sale.A 1976 Bi-Centennial 6-7/8 MARK 1 target pistol w-box and paperwork for $125.00--
