James, for the meantime you should look around your local pawnshops (if there are around your area) to see if they have other 22lr rifles in stock. Mine had 2 different 22lr rifles for under $200, although they are used. Still a good buy and cheap fun shooting.
Wait it out and see if you find any 10/22's in stock later on.
I was lucky enough to buy my 10/22 on Black Friday for $179
