My New 10-22

[RugerRog]

I picked up a Ruger 10/22 Deluxe Model 1102 today. When I saw it, I knew I needed to purchase it. I really like the wood stock and checkering. I cant wait to get out to the range this weekend and break it in.

Looks like I need to get my post count up before a can attach a picture.

I've had my 10/22 Sporter for a few years now and love it. Couple of years back, I had a Volquartzen Hammer put in it, which reduced the trigger pull to less than 4 pounds. Made a great gun even better!!

Congrats on your purchase. You can't beat a 10/22 for the money.

How did you stop at just doing that ? Before the dust settled I had about $900 in my 10/22. I thought i was just having a bad dream but it still makes me smile everytime i look at it.

Congrats to the OP, your really going to like it! Plenty accurate out of the box but i agree that a Volquartson hammer is the ticket to a sweet trigger.

i could easily be wrong, but i dont believe post count prohibits pictures.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome. Happy shooting!

I can't figure out how to post pictures!

Thats all I did to mine, except for the auto bolt release mod.

congratz on the purchase of a great rifle, you'll get alot of fun out of it. Get a Ruger BX25 mag for it. The stock on that model is very nice. Show us a pic!

Thanks everyone, and thanks for the link on posting. A Mustang forum I frequent is set up a little differently, so it doesnt take much to confuse me.

I also forgot to mention that I picked up 2 BX-25 mags, and a box CCI minimags. A fun afternoon shopping.

Welcome aboard. I have an older Deluxe Model and like it. I like the non barrel band models so much better. Where do you shoot?

I havent shot in years, so I dont have any place that I shoot. I live on the SE side of Indy so I was looking at Eagle Creek Pistol Range, and Atterbury. A little bit of a drive, but I havent found anything East that is close. Do you have any places you could recommend?

I shoot at Marion County Fish and Game on the west side. It's off 465 and Crawfordsville Road. Pop's is close to you but I've heard good and bad about shooting there.

does anyone have anything to say about the take down model?

 

[Reid]

Not real sure about all the hype of the "take down" model, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

My friend owns one and really likes it. I haven;t even seen one myself.

 

[RugerRog]

Thanks Colt, I drive past Pops occasionally, havent been in there, and completely forgot about them. As I run across websites, I've been book marking them. Added the Marion county fish and game. With the rifle I was thinking outdoor, but on a day like today indoor would be perfect.

I've seen that Highsmiths (I believe that's their name) in Greenfield is going to be opening a new shop with a range, and I saw that BeechGrove Firearms is looking to have their range open in Nov. That will give me a few near by indoor ranges.

Beech Grove Firearms will be opening their new range soon. Should be an excellent one.

Got my first 10/22 when I was 7 put probably a good 20000 rounds through it and its still one of the most reliable and accurate .22s I own. Great gun for the money.

ECPR would be perfect. You can shoot out to 50 yards, seated or standing. I had my 10/22 out there in the spring and had a blast. Take a box of ammo and you can shoot all day long for $20 I think it is. Only open weekends. Need to get out there again.

Nothing gives me quite the warm fuzzy feeling inside as does the 10/22. Enjoy your purchase!
