10/22 Synthetic/Stainless??

[dbhn]

What is a fair price for a new Ruger 10/22 in with the black synthetic stock and stainless steel?

Also, any reasons why I should stay away from this model and get the normal wood/blue one? I like the look of the black/silver a lot and would be willing to pay a couple extra bucks for it.

Thanks.

Aside from the bbl and stock it's the same as the standard wood/blue models. The receivers on each are the same - aluminum. Only the bbl is actually stainless. They typically won't command a lg difference in price so if the silver/black is what you prefer...
The earlier synthetic stocks were called boat paddles and had a recessed area in the butt area. These might command a few dollars more than the current ones but that's a big if. Just about any 10/22 is a $200 gun now, even sued they're in the $175 range.
