1967 Ruger10/22 Centennial – A REAL GEM
Here is a very nice little rifle that has been very well preserved. It is serial number C522. One of the early rifles manufactured that did not have cut checkering, a bit rarer and more collectable than those with the checkering.
I would not be bold enough to call this museum quality, but it is certainly collector quality, a very nice addition to the Ruger collection for someone who may not have acquired one of these yet.
It has the period correct magazine & unopened, unmounted, period correct scope rail. It also obviously has the Finger Groove Forend.
It has engraving on the top of the receiver to reflect the 1967 Canadian Centennial. As pictured the butt plate is also unmarked, unmolested, kind of uncommon because these little ladies were set down 95% of the time on their butt plates. I have seen a few of these rifles, most have cracks or ugly marks in the butt plate.
