Yes, the base model 10-22 carbine has been cheapened a good deal over the years. Mine is a pre-warning model, made in the late '60's. It has a blued finish and a walnut stock. My oldest son's, that I bought for him for Christmas five years ago, has a "matte" finish and a "hardwood" stock. While even in the era in which mine was made Ruger certainly was not known for their exquisite finishes on their 10-22's, this modern one takes it down several notches from there. Still very functional and accurate, though.
