Any idea what a 1977, excellent to mint condition, Ruger 10/22 should sell for. The gun is basically immaculate.
There is a scope base for it as well, which has not been installed yet.

Thanks.
 
To my knowledge there is nothing special about rugers of that vintage. It's a used 10/22. I'm assuming wood stock. I'd ballpark it at 300$. Pics would help.
 
without pics and box. 250-300 nothing special and they might not be as good as later manufacturers models depending on,when they changed machines to newer with tighter tolerances
 
Accuracy Plus in P'boro had a 80s vintage 10/22 (metal trigger housing and barrel band) with Bushnell Sportview scope listed at $399. It did not last long.

Older Ruger 10/22's usually bring good money. Yours should be around $400. Why would I argue if a customer wants an older one? I had a fellow show up at my table and want to trade in a really nice, quite new 10/22 for an older one. He gave me $100 to boot.
 
A 1977 1022 is a older 1022. They had metal trigger assemblies and barrel bands , walnut stocks.
. In the 2000's this changed to plastic



A number of retailers had wood stock carbines on sale recently for $419.


The 1977 should sell for around $500 or more vs a newer one for $350 or more, depends on the buyer

357 - It is a 1977 , not '97. As others have said, A) Nothing 'Special' about '77s and 2) Nothing 'Special' about 10/22s, just another inaccurate pos. My Sav-64 shoots as well for $100.
 
you can spend 400 for a new 10-22 put 3-4 hundred in upgrades and it will likely still be worth 400. i no longer dance to the 10-22 sold the one i had 13 years ago
 
Max $500 if it had all the papers and documents. Metal trigger guard and barrel bands don't really Increase the value much in my opinion. Also, just because it's older doesn't always mean that's its exactly better. Lemons happen in every batch.
 
I had tables at the Regina show. The fellow I was back to back with had a nice 10/22 Sporter with a small Tasco scope. Rifle was a 1973, in very good condition. I asked him if he was firm on the $400. No, he said he was going to lower it to $350. It's laying on my living room floor now. Pardon the poor pic.

10-22's are popular because no skills or tools other than a hammer and all in one screwdriver are needed to "upgrade" it.

Simply buy parts you like and assemble like a $49 Ikea bookshelf following you tube videos.
 
Lucky post 13! The picture rifle is a walnut stock adult size rifle that sold for 200 bucks more then the stander. DID it shoot better? NO! But it was loved more and made you feel better.
 
1970's 1022s seemed to me to run better and shoot more accurately than many of the new ones. I would agree with another poster, the Savage 64 just as accurate and maybe a bit better feeder for way less... and they are Canadian.

If I was in the market for a 1022, I would lean in the direction of the older rifle myself.
 
It will sell for close to $600.
$400 it would be gone tewt sweet.

Even if you split the change on those two numbers above it won't last a day on the ee.
