Bought myself a little something this past Sunday. "Ruger Day" (10/22) came early this year.
I had purchased a super-cheapo scope for my kid's pellet gun a while back. (It was around $25 on Amazon if I recall correctly.) I slapped it on just to see if it would still fit in the case. It did (barely).
I may decide to put a quality optic on it, but I'm not hunting or competing. If the el-cheapo scope can manage to hold zero for a day out in the back-40 at the In-Laws shooting at bottles and cans, that's good enough for me right now. I'll spend the extra money on ammo. If nothing else, I might look for a decent peep-site and ditch the glass altogether.
If anyone else is considering a 10/22 Takedown you're probably watching YouTube vids. In those vids, they show a different version of the case. The original case had two external compartments, molly webbing, and a HUGE red Ruger logo. This was one of the few complaints: It's not wise to "advertise" that you have a firearm with you in some places. ("You're scaring the stiffs." - Plus theft is a concern as well.)
The new case is designed to be very gray-man. It has a small black-on-black Ruger logo-patch that is attached with Velcro. Peel it off and the thing could be anything from a tennis racket case to a diaper bag.
The interior is completely customize-able. Every strap, pocket, and bolster you see in the photo is attached to the bottom of the case with Velcro.
Also, the top folds open to give you a nice clean place to lay your rifle if you're out in the aforementioned back-40.
I haven't had a chance to shoot the thing yet (been at work a lot since my abbreviated vacation) but I'm looking forward to running some ammo through it.

We bring ours out a lot and let them run on the sandbars. Fun to watch them chase boats going by. Don't get very far.
