Whats your input on dressing up a Ruger 10-22

[tbhausen]

This is a great, durable stock. It's what Magnum Research puts on the Magnum Lite AT series. Light, durable, great ergos for right and left-handers, floating barrel, and sling studs (not pictured but you'll get 'em). Cary and I both have used this and it's fantastic.

10/22 Fever is very similar to Black Rifle Fever... I may have finally stopped on this one (a little different than pictured)

Base Model 10/22
Boyd's SS Evolution Stock in Forest Camo ($129)
Volquartsen Custom Target Hammer ($35)
Volquartsen Custom Automatic Bolt Release ($11)
Raven Eye Customs Tuner Kit T2 with Titanium Takedown Screw and Titanium Escutcheon (ETC) ($40)
Pillar and Bedding Compound ($25)

I just upgraded the scope from that Simmons to a BSA Sweet 22. The only thing I'm still debating is a bull barrel. I'd love a VQ or Kidd drop in trigger, but I can't justify it to my finer half as well as I can a new handgun or AR.

I got the new scope mounted and the bedding completed.. got the scope zeroed in today: .. 10 shot groups at 50 yards unsupported. I'm pretty happy with it!

stock 10-22, Tech Sights, USGI sling. Everything else is vanity (and I should know).

I love my High Tower Armory P90 stock on my 10/22. It's a lot of fun to shoot and functions perfectly. Highly recommend it.

So can I borrow your rifle to rob a bank to pay for my stock ; seriously nice looking 10/22, nice camo job.

 

[Fireball1394]

Thanks haha but I can't take credit. HTA sells their stocks with different camo patterns, including multiples in kryptek camo like mine.

My dad dressed up a stock ruger 10/22 with a fluted bull barrel with threads on the end, dropped it in a Tapco stock with some type of vortex 22 scope and a bipod foregrip. Super sweet shooter, can wait until my boys are old enough to shoot it.

I agree with this statement.

 

[Tombs]

I'd recommend just buying one set up how you want it unless you're wanting to dump tons and tons of money and work into a project gun.

This shoots about as good as I'll ever be able to, and it's as is from the factory except for the scope and rings.

If I wanted a fun do-all 10/22 I'd probably do exactly as others have said with the tech sights and a sling. Mine is a boat anchor.

Sling is on backwards, bro.

Sling is on backwards, bro.

Huff, in your opinion, what percentage of kids like shooting with the sling compared to say, a bipod or off a bag?

(And I'm not asking what they should be doing, I'm asking what they LIKE to do!)

 

[55fairlane]

factory stock is junk,the comb is was too low,and the grip area is way wrong,the factory trigger is junk,way to heavy,and long of a pull

my set up? Boyds thumbhole stock,Ruger BX trigger,Hawke optics scope, all other parts, (I.E. barrel,bolt,reciver,)stock

makes a real differance

well, mohawkslim, the only kids I interact with regularly are the members of the Greene County 4-H Rifle Club and my own 2 year old daughter, Katie Marie. I can say from that sample size that if you were to attempt to get the kids in the 4-H club to shoot without slings you would have a very sarcastic and mean spirited insurrection on your hands (with the exception of one kid who is kind of lazy and more than a little soft). They find bipods boring and "unconnected". Katie, on the other hand, prefers sporting clays so it's not really an issue.

Slings are cheap.
Slings are versatile.
Slings require skill.
Slings are cool.



I will use bags when I want to the rifle to shoot. I will use a sling when I want me to shoot.

It was not my intent to initiate a "my kung fu is better than your kung fu" threadjack. INGO is rife with that sentiment, particularly on the training board, and I find it somewhat distasteful.

A 10-22 is your private bathroom in the basement of your house. The one your wife wont go into and the one the kids are scared of. You can make it anything you wish and be right every time. Its one of the few places in this freaking country where a man need not be questioned (particularly a married man). Whatever your 10-22 is is right. Its not for me to spend much on this kind of rifle because the hardships it will entail require it to be very rugged. Its hard to beat a stock 10-22 for ruggedness. For other folks, whatever configuration they desire IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

I was a douche for mentioning the sling being on backwards.

I disagree Huff. When I took my Garand to my first Appleseed so others could shoot it, the guy running the event(forgot right now what they call him, but it was Yellowhouse Jake) mentioned in a very nice way that now that I know how to use a sling, it would be a good time to put the sling on my Garand on correctly. I had put the sling on long before I knew it could be used for something other than carrying the rifle.

I was happy to have someone teach me how to get it right.

A shooting clinic like the one you were at is the perfect place to mention it. On an internet forum, where someone posted a picture of their rifle in pride and friendliness, is perhaps not.

Something that always buzzes through my head is the condition of Garands during the Salute at a funeral for a service member. It makes me feel like a jerk to be distracted by it. I realize that many of the Legionnaires who perform that duty are doing a great service, and I am very thankful for it. I also realize that many of them weren't in the service when the application of sling use was actually being used, its a reality that most service members have very little experience with the proper use of a loop sling. In most cases, even the greybushes aren't old enough to have been issued or done their PMI with a Garand. But I cannot help but observe the condition of the rifles and the orientation of the sling. I have often thought of going into the local Legion and offering my services to armor their rifles and replace them with either 1907 slings or new cotton loop slings but I don't know if I would be able to do it without looking like a douche or coming off as an a$$hat. If history (or TBE) is to be believed, I probably cannot.
