I have a 10/22 T/TS in 100% condition. I am told this is a pretty rare animal. Should I shoot it or let her continue to be a safe Queen?

Rare is one thing, collectable and valuable are other aspects. Did you buy it to shoot or to keep tucked away in hopes of it being a safe queen/investment piece? Are you able to keep it tucked away and not let it bother you? Don't have my papers right here so exact #'s escape me at the moment but I wanna say 300 made. Like most of the newer 10/22's there's just not a lot of collectability to them yet for most of them anyways. Value of course starts disappearing once it becomes something other than a safe queen.

It might be decades if ever before it goes up in value above a standard carbine to make it a good investment. Is it your only gun or one of a hundred that you own? If you shoot it once its then used so you might as well put 100,000 rounds through it. But shooting 100 rounds doesn't seem like the thing to do.
So I would recommend either not shooting it at all or shooting it a lot.

Well, I know they certainly have higher value and desirability than the standard carbines. With std carbines going for what they are, there's stocks alone going for more.

I wasn't saying it wasn't worth more than the standard carbine. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. | Still...don't see the standard carbine really being an investment choice. With thousands being made yearly... Buy a new one, shoot it it's value goes down. Not a lot mind you but that $225 gun is now on the used racks for $150-175 around here. Something such as the T/TS will at least hold it's original value rather than see it lesson.
