10/22 experts, need recommendations

Appreciate the offer, may take you up on that. I've not really been excited about a gun in several years, I'm really looking forward to this project.

I've probably worked over 20 of them over the years. Currently down to 2 of my own and one of my boy's. He's off at school so I'm babysitting his. First sunny w/e in May sounds about right.

I've heard lots of good things about Brimstone's trigger work. If you don't wanna go all out on a Kidd 2 stage, Brimstone is hard to beat for the money.

Do you happen to know the lop range in that? I've been looking for a good collapsible stock for my 8yo nephew.

No sir I don't. If you would like to check out a 10/22 in this stock, Bradis has 2 on the wall

check out the boyd tactical stocks they maybe finsh your self but the options are limitless

I've looked at those and really like the design. I shot McMillan A5 stocks for several years so I know it would be comfortable. I've not been able to find a weight comparison between the Boyds and Overmold and was trying to keep the rifle light.

The knoxx axiom is the lightest stock I've seen for the 10/22.

UPDATE: I've had the rifle in hand for awhile now and it's coming together. I have radiused the bolt and done the auto bolt release modification along with some minor polishing of the trigger components. I ended up going with the Hogue Overmold stock, TS mag release, TS SBX barrel and a lower end Vortex scope. Did some accuracy testing last Friday and was pleased with the rifle's capabilities although the ammo I was using for the below pictured group is impossible to find and pretty ridiculously expensive.

Ten rounds at 50 yards with the Eley Match ammo

Don't spend big $$$$ on a trigger, get a cheap spring & shim kit, lightly grease it and you will have a sweet trigger.
lots of vids on YouTube of how to do it

Do a search on youtube for the auto bolt release mod. Several good videos out there, took me all of 15 minutes to do it and well worth the time.

Can you please share details on this?

Bell & Carlson also makes a similar stock to the Boyd's. I have one on my Custom 10-22 and it's completely free floated and the accuracy is top notch with the Kidd barrel.
