Ruger announced a “new” gun today a Take-Down 10/22 and I think this could be a huge home run!
This new takedown model of the 10/22 is basically a Ruger All-Weather Model made with the takedown modifications. It has an aluminum alloy receiver, stainless steel bolt and barrel, and carbine style, black fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin stock with composite barrel band. One inch in front of the receiver the stock is “cut,” separating the forend from the rest of the stock.
If interested, new article coverages of Ruger's 10/22 Take Down Rifle...

This is going to sound silly coming from someone who doesn't have one yet, but I think everyone should have a .22 semiauto rifle on their list of "must owns".
Easy to teach non shooters on, and cheap cheap shooting to practice sight alignment/trigger control so you're a better shot with the big guns....
In fact, that's the same reason I have a .22 pistol!

That's what i've been told but in my infinite wisdom I blew it off. Rethought that and will be picking on of these up. A pistol as well to help the wife with her shooting

Purely, just to stir the pot. Most of you have seen this.

For compactness, the Henry wins. I'm not very keen about the front sight on the Henry though.
I think I'd still pick the 10/22 - much bigger aftermarket, and the overall design looks more sturdy to me.
Both have their benefits though

This is a huge selling point of any 10/22 to me.

great new piece. i have a thing for take-down guns. I've always eyeballed take-down lever guns.
this will make a great excuse to buy a new .22 long gun.

That is pretty cool. I don't understand the point of it, but it is pretty sweet how they do it. I could see a mini 14 or mini 30 being handy in that configuration to keep in a trunk.
