I fortunately bought a Ruger stainless take down 10/22 shortly after they were released but have noticed few are available and ones for sale are around $500 and up. Is this the new go to rifle for many people?
Are 10/22's the new go to?

I didn’t realize they were in that high a demand in this new craziness but I’m not surprised. I did notice they have gone up in price; today’s Rural King ad has the plain, birch stock carbine listed for $239, which is $10-$20 higher than before.
There’s an awful lot of good selling points to having at least one .22LR survival rifle. And the 10-22 is known as an excellent, dependable gun. Small game, putting food on the table, better than a sharp stick for home defense, light to carry large volumes of ammo, there’s nothing to dislike about a 10-22.
Makes me glad I have a few of them (though none of mine are takedowns, not that there’s anything wrong with them).

No interest in a new ruger 10/22 . Used and cost is low enought , maybe . Have two 10/22 picked up used and low cost some years back and both been upgraded to different levels but still when hunting or just critter control a bone stock savage BV is my go to as accuracy is better with a wider variety of ammo choices and the stock trigger can be lower to 1lb or a fuzz less with no extra money spent .
If you want a basic semi auto for fun a new or used marlin 60's a better choice .
NO interest in take down 22lrs . My AR's are take down's if thats needed . HA
My survival 22lr is for sure a bolt rifle .

A good break down is a PCC 9mm, or a Kel Tec sub 2K. I have an older 10-22 that I got years ago at Wally World, it has a longer barrel and is not a break down.

No doubt the take down 10/22s are popular. If given a choice between a TD and regular 10/22 why wouldn't you chose the TD (except for the difference in price). Having said that... I have about 10 10/22s covering eras from the 70's to the 20teens. None of them are takedowns however.
The 10/22 TD are kinda cool and are convenient for transporting and storage but are really too heavy to backpack. There are cheaper and lighter 22s for that purpose so I don't really have any use for a 10/22 TD.

A Ruger 10/22, with a 25 round magazine, loaded with CCI 40 grain high velocity solids, would be a solid home defense rifle for grandma. In fact, Im pretty confident it would be a far better weapon for many many homes, than the 9mm/.40/.45ACP pistol that the wife/husband never trains with and is likely to limp wrist and jam after the first shot.

What you're describing can be said of most any firearm in the US currently; the plandemic and civil unrest across the country has caused even the most liberal of democrats who've never touched a firearm let alone actually even seen a real firearm in person to buy up whatever they can get their hands on. It could be a pump shotgun, single shot .22, Lorcin pistol, or an old H&R revolver. And with sellers realizing the potential for incredible profits, those new buyers who are naive and scared will pay just about anything for that feeling of security...the same security that the long time firearm owner has known for years...

I have a old 10/22 and just got a Thompson Contender 10/22 copy that I really like.

10/22 I think has always been a good idea as a light, easy to wield home defense rifle, especially for a woman or for an older smaller shooter. I remember a news story many years back. Home invader came in the bathroom. Lady was taking a shower. She fought the guy into the bedroom, then grabbed her 22 rifle and "shot him as many times as she could." She said. He ran out and died in her backyard.

As much as I like my Marlin 60, the 10/22 is lighter, more compact, easier and quicker to load/reload, holds more rounds (with extended mags), is just as reliable.
Shown below, 60 on the left, standard 10/22 in the middle, 16" bbl 10/22 on right.

Obviously in the minority here, but at the moment I don't have any 10/22s. I have owned several over the years, great little poppers, and the customization potential is YUUGE. But I'm down to one 22 rifle now, a 1973 Marlin Golden 39a.
I love the ability to shoot 22 shorts.
With that long tube they're almost silent and they do anything around the house I need a 22 for.
Just my $.02. And yes, they seem to be rising in price along with a lot of models these days.

It is a good rifle. Mine is newer and has all the cost effective production short cuts. But it is reliable, durable and accurate enough.
Prices are up across the board, so I wouldn't necessarily attribute a ridiculous sale price to a particular firearm. It is a super common rifle which means non-enthusiasts probably recognize the name, and that alone is adding value (from their perspective) these days.

Why do you say that about the Marlin? Just curious as I’ve always wanted one, but seem to go back to the 10/22.

That's why I love my Henry lever action 22.
Shorts sound like air rifle shots and they dispatch what needs dispatching just as well.

I have never owned a 10/22, but if I bought another .22 rifle, it would be my first choice. I will stick with my Winchester 62A pump. I love that I can shoot .22 shorts, long, and long rifle in it and it is a take-down. It has served me well for the 61 years I have owned it.
