    Found them on ebay for dirt cheap. I am planning on big things for this gun. I have so much .22lr right now and up until yesterday, I didn't even have a single .22 gun on hand
    So, you’re the guy that made it difficult to get ammo for those of us who shoot 22. Bet you stockpiled all the 22 mag too didn’t you ?

    Nope. I have always kept a stock of .22 on hand and I dont panic buy really. If I didn't have a .22lr firearm on hand, I sure as shit don't have a .22 mag

    I did replace the factory stock with a magpul precision hunter series I think it was called angle for your trigger hand is steeper so it’s more comfortable to shoot.

    I love my 10/22... i've had it for about 25 years... it looks similar to Ole Cowboy's above with the Butler Creek stock. When i built it, my buddy built one with a bull barrel & we would go shoot at the 100yard & end up shooting out the bulls eyes, then shooting the clothes clip off & making the target drop.
    Many times i have pondered upgrading the trigger, barrel & stock & dropping some more $$$ into it, but every time i get around to shopping for upgrades i always end up stumbling across the Magnum Research site with 22 Magnum Lite Rifle. Then realize for as much money to upgrade my existing 10/22 i could just get the Magnum Lite.... hmmm 1st world problems.

    I bought one way back in the late 70's IIRC, used to to chase snakes in rivers, creeks, ponds and finally got to where it was erratic shooting, I put maybe 25k rds thru that thing prob a lot more over many years of hunting. Great guns by any measure...

    I have the Magnum Research and it’s awesome. It’s the most accurate thing I’ve ever shot. Even with crappy ammo.

    I have a 10/22 takedown in stainless that I recently put an X22 backpacker stock on. Great little gun. Love shooting it. Cycle's well with original 10 round and 50 round mags. My brother bought one with an aftermarket stock at Field and Stream, but his will not reliably cycle the 50 round mags even with all of the reported tricks to solve that issue. It's a bummer because it's a great little gun but now he is looking to sale it.

    Yeah, they look like they shoot pretty straight.
    I have keltec PMR30 & i would like to add the CMR30 to the collection one day soon.
    I did win a Henry .22 lever action from a Knights of Columbus raffle last year. I wanted the .22 mag version so ended up paying another $400 to get the golden boy. I shot it for the first time a few months ago at 50 yards & man that thing was dead on out of the box.. i was really impressed with it & she's pretty too boot.
