Some call it national Ruger day. Today is October 22 - commonly written as 10/22.
Ruger Firearms makes a rifle called the 10/22. It is a .22 LR caliber, with the standard magazine holding 10 rounds. That's how they came up with the name. And that is how gun enthusiasts came to the conclusion that today (10/22) is Ruger day. But, it is nothing official.
The 10/22 is possibly the most commonly sold rimfire rifle in the world, though the wonderful Marlin 60 comes close.
Of course, I own one of each.
Oh how I miss my old 10/22
ReplyDeleteI would, too. You should leave your name, perhaps we could take up a collection...
