Most people will try to sell you their used rifles at 95% of their new value. Only thing worth looking into...if you ever want to upgrade this gun it is a good idea to get a pre-2008 model so you get an all-aluminum trigger group. I would try gun auction sights, you might get lucky.
Need more than that to work with.. Does it say Deluxe on the Bass Pro one?
Brand Ruger Cartridge 22 Long Rifle Hunting Firearms Rifles
I see a $239 one its prob the same as the $189 at academy.
RUGER 10/22 SEMI-AUTOMATIC .22 RIFLE

....or we do THIS to 'em.
Yep, same thing.
I just looked at the price on the tags. I didn't get into specifics. Maybe I just misread the price. Going to get one at Academy after all the Christmas chaos settles down.
Thanks for the info. It seems to me like the guys that work at these places don't always know what they're talking about.
edit* the ones at Bass Pro had black synthetic or multi-colored wood finished stocks. I was guessing this was the main difference.

FYI: They don't advertise it, but Basspro will price match Academy. (or any other local store)

I paid a lil more to get the one from bass pro to get the digital camo one cause you don't find those very often.

The Houston 10-22 market.
Major retailers can get specially equipped rifles from Ruger. One of the best was the Walmart Special. It had a nice checkered wood stock, rubber buttplate and a SS 22" barrel. They are no longer available. Right now, WW has an 18" SS rifle with a black synthetic stock for $247. The plain, blue 18" carbine is $199.
I bought two 18" carbines at Academy in plain blue trim for $189. I got two at a pawn shop for $100 and $125 but that is real unusual and they were both rode hard. Since I just wanted the receivers, bolts and trigger groups, that was fine for me. Most pawn shops price a good used rifle for $199 which is full new retail and a ripoff. Those Walmart 22" SS rifles are priced at full new retail for $240+ if you can find one used. Does that make sense? Hell no but they sell the rifles. I guess some knotheads will pay over new retail for a used rifle. It just baffles me.
I don't sweat the plastic trigger groups and prefer the Volquartsen replacements. The VQ trigger assemblies are expensive but the Volquartsen hammer kit will give you a great trigger for cheap.
I stay on top of the 10-22 market and those prices are pretty realistic. Hope this helps. I own a few 10-22's and have a ball customizing them.

Well....yes an' no.<G> Bought it off a guy that couldn't git it to function. Of course, he "forgot" to mention that li'l fact up front. When I emailed him about it, he claimed to have put it in his ad (NOT) - when I sent him a copy of it, he agreed to send me back $200 of the $450 I gave him for it rather than messing with gettin' a gun back that didn't function.
When I had the money in hand, I told him that Ruger 10/22's don't like bein' shot w/o bein' lubed......<evil laugh>
