Got this for my wife yesterday. She had been drooling over it at academy for a while. I can't imagine why it has been on the shelf for so long :lol: . I admit I felt weird when I was buying it :? . All in all though it is a very nice rifle. Except for the color :). Good work ruger :thumbsup:

That 10/22 was shocking when I first glanced at it :big shock: you know next your wife will want an AR with pink furniture on it.

No, no I get it.. You don't like putting on the orange vests when walking through the woods.. With this rifle you don't have to, even the deer will see you come a half mile away.

Wow...it's...ummm...it's...pink. :big shock: :big shock: :big shock:

My wife wants me to paint her (my) 10/22 purple. It's a vintage 1968 model carbine (my birth year) with a gorgeous walnut stock. Paint it? HELLZNO!! :angry4:

Yeah I would have to put my foot down to that too. Judt buy a cheap polymer takeoff from someone who modded their rifle and paint that one. :)

Yep. And a nice one. Ruger makes some good stuff. Even though I don't really care for the color, the fit and finish of the the rifleis excellent.
