Awesome video. I'll tell you why I fell in love with the 60th, and this is just me. Those ghost rings reminded me of a Mini 14 sight picture and I like using irons due to a stigmatism in my eyes that affects my ability to see and properly use red dots and fiber optics. Problem started about 2 years ago and I just turned 35 and now it's very pronounced. So I stick to basic irons, ghost rings, night sights, and traditional scopes. Ghost rings happen to be my favorite though. Also the magpul stock just feels AMAZING to shoulder. Idk why but every magpul design is just so well done and comfortable. They've become my favorite stock maker. Also love the muzzlebreak. Just looks really cool. I just placed my order last week for a 60th and a mini 14. Got a couple more minis I want to get. Not the biggest AR fan but that's just me. I like to shoot guns I think look cool. I dont find ARs that attractive. Could get an AK but honestly would rather stick to the same and similar manual of arms I practice with and support American made.
@@redroodefense3220 You are welcome redroodefense3220. I purchased both; they are exquisitely beautiful rifles. I love the classic lines of the 75th Anniversary model and its blonde maple stock (mine had birdseye maple grain!). The 60th Anniversary model is really innovative. I extended the Magpul stock to a suitable LOP with the included spacers, and mounted a Leupold VX-Freedom rimfire 2-7x33mm scope on it. Both rifles shoot wonderfully out of the box. Imho, that is not a standard stock trigger in the 60th, and it has the polymer (not aluminum) trigger housing that is part of the BX trigger group. Ruger may not advertise/market the BX trigger in this rifle, but I suspect it has it, and for some unknown reason(s) Ruger decided not to publicize this. All in all these are great rifles that will bring much joy to their shooters, and cause one to visit their favorite range more often for trigger therapy sessions.
I just picked up a used 75th anniversary model for $200.00 at my local gun shop. The owner said it was a trade in. Apparently someone bought it and didn't care for it very much. They also didn't take very good care of it either because it had scuff marks and stock dings that I had to remove and repair. Otherwise. I like the gun and even more so for the price I got it for. All that I plan to do to it is put a scope and sling on it and maybe a flash hider just for looks. 😁
A bit different than you. Just picked up my third 10/22 - a 5-digit SN from 1966 with real walnut stock and all metals parts. The mag release is flush with the trigger group so a bit awkward to use. My quest for a first-year 10/22 continues.
My 10/22 had a push in notch and flush that would release the magazine and not the extension release. Purchased in late 70’s and my brothers he purchased late 69 or 70, had same release. So I am wondering if that extension release from Ruger has been out 60 years, verse’s after market’s which I have installed and works well.
Hi, The extended magazine release has been available like you mentioned as an aftermarket part for a long time - I'm not sure how long. I don't know when Ruger started making it directly, but this is the first 10/22 I've seen it with from the factory.
@@redroodefense3220 Yeah, wonder what took Ruger so long! I will have to check my BX-Trigger I put into my rifle, I believe that was offered with the extension release and maybe correspond’s to the entry of it on the Ruger 10/22 from Ruger direct. I was at a local gun shop and they had the Ruger 75th like yours for $399 and asking $350, in Omaha NE, haven’t checked other stores. I also installed the auto bolt release which works really nice. Instead of having to press the release and the pull the bolt back. You just have to pull the bolt and it releases to move the bolt forward. Very niffty!
The 75th Anniv edition stock is similar to the sporter stock- those are a bit bigger and do not have a barrel band as the other stocks do. I prefer them to the regular stocks but that's just a personal preference. As far as the Magpul goes, I would guess it's a little bigger in order to accommodate any accessories, and to enable the customization for length of pull and height. While it looks big it is actually a quite comfortable stock.
This is Ruger 75th anniversary as a company. The standard auto 22 pistol was their first product, hence the 75th anniversary. They started producing the 10/22 rifle in 1964, hence the 60th anniversary 10/22. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
At my local go to sporting goods the 75th is $299 and the 60th is $469.99. Thanks for posting.
Sounds good, thanks for watching!

I agree. I love the magpul stock, and I like good iron sights. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Keep us posted as to how you like it.
Nice comparison of these two commemorative Ruger 10/22 rifles. I want them both! Thank you sir.

Great review.

Nice, I love the old ones. Let me know if you find a first year! Thanks for watching.

@@Majeskty Yeah I have heard that about the BX trigger too. Thanks for watching!
I saw one of these at Fleet Farm. Why is the stock so fat?

60th comes with bxtrigger
Hi, according to Ruger, it does not. I have read various opinions on that but I will go with Ruger.
@@redroodefense3220it 100% does. No disrespect. Several folks have broken theirs down and fully stripped & confirmed this
@@NorcalGreensI hope so just bought one and don’t want to buy the BX if it comes factory. 510-209 in the House!
@@ltx383 I also own one and can confirm !
10/22 75 th Anniversary is better than 60th.
Ruger already had a 60th mk3 pistol! Took them 15 yrs to come out with the 10/22 how f u !!!!
