Reco: Centerfire for Appleseed event

[pronstar]

Looking forward to attending my first event once the weather warms-up a bit.
Was hoping I could take one of my centerfire rifles, but all of the 2018 events near DFW are rimfire only.

Seems that semi-autos are best for these events.
Since the Savage MKII FV-SR that Santa brought me is a bolt action, it's a great excuse to get another plinker LOL

I'll want to mod it for fun, so I want lots of aftermarket goodies.
And I want a threaded barrel.

Am I right in assuming a Ruger 10/22 is gonna be the TGT choice?

 

[Moonpie]

You mean you DON'T have a 10/22 already?!!?!?!

FAIL.

In so many ways.

 

[pronstar]

I suck.
In .22LR, I've only got a GSG-522 and the aforementioned Savage at the moment.

I need to redeem myself

 

[Moonpie]

Padawhan, I am disappoint.

Ha! Shamelessly stolen!

The 10/22 rules the aftermarket. Basically you can change everything so that it's not a Ruger anymore. The factory stock should be the first to go. It is made for open sights and is uncomfortable with a scope on it IMHO.

My 1985 plane Jane Marlin 60 is more accurate than a modern bell's and whistles factory 10/22 but I digress...

why bother with the ruger and then swap out parts lol. Just buy all after market now and build what you want.

If I can find a heavy threaded barrel model for a good price, I'd probably just swap-out the stock...at least to start.

While I do want to mod/tinker with it, I also don't think I want to end up with a $1,000 .22R

Swap you a 10/22 for the ARX.
LoL

 

[BRD@66]

Swap you a 10/22 for the ARX.
LoL

Well...as long as that deal wouldn't leave you without a remaining 10-22, because we all know that to be 10-22less is verboten.

Just got an aftermarket trigger for the ARX...should be a much sweeter shooter once installed

Uh oh. I've got six .22 rifles and none of those. (Looks skyward for the ban hammer)

Junk.
Send to Moonpie for a proper burial.

 

[pronstar]

What do you guys think about either of these models?
I may not be married to the idea of a threaded barrel...

The one with the Hogue.
Decent scope and you'll be in business.


Shoot it a bunch hefore you go modding it.

Yeah I'm thinking if I get that one with the Hogue, I won't mod it at all.
