Ruger 10/22- wood stock/blue barrel: $250 after tax NIB
ATI Strikeforce 6 pos/folding stock: $70 used (Armslist)
Barska 30mm red dot: $40 LNIB (box opened, never used; Amazon)
UTG contour fore grip: $10 NEW (Amazon)
Single point bungee sling: $6 NEW (Amazon)
My total cost ended up being $376 including all shipping, taxes, and fees, and it has all the junk I would be putting on a 15-22 with a more versatile stock.
Moral of the story: sometimes it's cheaper to scrounge what you want and DIY.

Finally got all my pieces in and installed. Took it to the range last weekend before my scope came in, and it shoots like a dream. I just have to wait til this weekend to sight the scope in. I must say, it does make the rounds in my ammo box disappear rather quickly...
