I&#8217;m not sure who came up with it but it works for me. According to Ruger, it was started on October 22, 2017 as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger.com\/micros\/RugerDay\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a day to celebrate all things Ruger<\/a><\/strong> because of the 10\/22 rifle. There are even <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger.com\/dataProcess\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">special events<\/a><\/strong> held at a number of gun stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3-1024x311.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3-1024x311.png 1024w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3-768x233.png 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3-640x194.png 640w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3-940x285.png 940w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3-1320x401.png 1320w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-3.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The first firearm I ever bought with my own money was a Ruger 10\/22 carbine. I was 18 and bought it at a discount chain in North Carolina called Best Products. I paid $55. Like Best Products, unfortunately that 10\/22 is long gone. As I recall, it was in the mid-1980s and I needed cash for something or other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I now have a couple of 10\/22 rifles including one with the full Mannlicher stock, I really wish I had that first one back. If we didn&#8217;t have to attend a wedding today, I would take that original 10\/22 out to the range and shoot it in honor of Ruger Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 22nd aka 10\/22 is Ruger Day.
