I just put a deposit down on a used 10/22.
It's been shot & is in 90%+ condition.
It's SS with a walnut(?) stock that has the Ruger logo stamped(?) into it.
Wood is really nice. I have no idea what it is or worth.
I neglected to get the serial number.
Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks,

Welcome to the Ruger Talk Forum norton !!

Without a picture or a serial number to research date of manufacture...

there is not a whole lot I can tell you.

Thanks for the reply Shooter.
It's a Talo Dist. exclusive.
The model is K10/22RB-CV .
I paid too much for it being used but I'm sure I'll be the only one
on the block with one!

I hadn't heard of that model so I looked it up. This is what I found. It's a nice looking rifle, although somewhat pricy.

The Talo isnt stamped. That is laser etched. i think the Talos are the best stocks i've seen on 10/22s. Supposedly French walnut.

The Talo 10/22s are basically the stock Ruger action, with a color buffed(polished) bolt, and depending on model, maybe a different barrel length. The stocks are made by Altamont, from different imported woods. I have a Talo Classic III with a 25th Anniversary laser etching, One of One Hundred, and the Fin Feather Fur logo(Ohios largest outfitter). The Classic III was French Walnut, and beautiful. I believe yours is a Classic V. Talo generally contracts around 1500 of each version.

Wow, that is a beautiful stock! I would love to find one some day. It would be a nice partner for my K10/22T.

The crazy thing is, just after I got mine, somebody posted the same stock, with the Fin Feather Fur engraving on Ebay, and it sold for $79. I couldnt believe it. Someone got a steal !!

That K10/22RB-CV is indeed a nice little Ruger. A little proud to say, maybe brag, that I had a bit of a hand in it's final configuration.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the input.
Now, I need to shoot this puppy!
