Get the cheapest one you can find and then pour on the aftermarket goodies. I can remember when 10/22s sold for $50 new, but that was a while ago.

I found one in a plowed field once, clearly having been run over by the plows. The only salvageable parts were the receiver and bolt. In the end, I spent more on parts than a new one would've cost me, but I have a free 10/22!!!

I don't think I paid more than $200 for mine 8 years ago. I did exactly what Rocky is advising. I bought a cheap 10/22 brand new just for the receiver. Everything got replaced after that. I put the following on the gun:

Hogue overmolded stock
Volquartsen trigger release
Extended mag release
Scope rings with a Burris 3-9x on it
Butler Creek carbon fiber barrel that was junk and has since been replaced with a Green Mountain barrel
Harris bipod

I love shooting this gun, but have yet to kill anything with it.

Do consider getting the aperture sight set from Williams. It screws right on, and includes a higher front sight with a fiber optic bead. Much more accurate and faster than what comes on them. Brownells lists them.

The one I found had a scope on it, but scope and mount had been ripped off, ruining the screw holes in the receiver. I ended up gluing an incorrect aperture sight to the receiver, and cobbling up a front sight. Buying the correct one would be a whole lot better.

I don't remeber the 50 dollar 10-22's I do remember in the early fall a kid could get one of the standard ones for $89 and normally they were $119.
