Ruger 10/22

[oldguy]

Truthfully I view the 22 as a 50 yard gun while I have shot targets at 100yards on not windy days it certainly Isnt a hunting 100 yards gun, you may look into a 17cal heavy barrel in Marlin or Savage with that you could shoot hogs in Almost Heaven West Va. You can find a basic 17 at walmart
for over slightly $200.

I got my first 10/22 when I was 13, and yes the're addictive. That one still has an old cheapo Tasco scope on it and it shoots just fine for my liking.

 

[navyguy]

Don't all scopes do that? At 50-100 yards how bad will that throw my shot off. I've never really done anything with a 22 other than pick it up and shoot it at something.

I know what your saying. But yes, all scopes do that. But if you have a scope that is parallax free at 100 yards, there should be no movement. Same scope at 200 yards, there will be some. But as I said earlier, for a .22 rim fire, with a 100 yard parallax tuned scope, shooting a squirral at 50 yards, he's still going to have a big hurt on. Those .22's you just picked up and shot probably had small dia scopes, tuned to 25 - 50 yards. If you buy a scope that is labeled as .22, it will no doubt be a 50 yard scope. Just get a 1" tube.

I don't want a 17 yet, some day but not right now. I'll probably never shoot G,Hogs in WV again but when I did it was a blast with that old Marlin lever action open sights and a running shot at 75 yds was an exciting thing to me.

Right I get what you're saying. I'm not going to be shooting squirrels at 100 but rather just plinking at 100. I'll probably upgrade to a good scope after a few months but just for plinking I would think a cheapo would be fine. I'm for shore going with a 1'' tube tho.

At 8-1/4% tax (what we pay in Houston) your looking at about $214 plus change.
If I can find it, I have an extra scope base that your welcomed to have if you want it? I'll check this evening to see if I can find it, again.

Sorry I got busy at work and quit checking the page before. I'll take anything that's free. LOL. And you're probably right about the price I'm just guessing on the tax.

BC,

I started to look for the scope mount, last night but couldn't find it. I didn't really give it a good search, because I got interupted by some honey-do's. I have some storeage containers that I didn't look at. I'll check them out this weekend and send you a PM, if I come across it.

 

[Big country]

Thank you sir. If you find em and want to send em my way I've no problem paying for shipping. Unless it's more than they are brand new. LOL

I bought the Stainless steel 10/22 from Wal Mart about 6 months ago. It has a beautiful stock on it. I believe I paid $237 + tax. It is the one with a 22 inch barrel. I have yet to put a scope on it, but Academy always has some pretty decent entry level Bushnell's for sale. I got one on my Speedmaster 552. I am happy with the 10/22 and want to buy the carbine length next.

 

[Big country]

I like the carbine size of just about everything. But that's because must of my hunting is done in or around brush country. I like something compact enough to not cause me issues in the brush. But I also like longer barrels for longer shooting. It gives all that powder a chance to burn and speed up the bullet.

Over the years I've bought, modded up and sold 5 different 10/22's. The last one I had I sold a while back and I've been without one since and decided I missed shooting it and needed another one. Of all the ones I've had I've built them up pretty good so I thought I'd keep this one pretty plain. I added my old Power Custom trigger (which I bought back from the last one I sold ), Tuffer Buffer (which I always add to my 10/22s), added a Hogue stock, topped it off with a Nikon Prostaff 4x rimfire scope and Burris Zee rings. Just got back from the range with it I must say that I'm very pleased with it. Once I got it zeroed (which took 20 rounds shooting 5 shot groups) I was shooting 1/2" groups at 50 yards with Mini-Mags, not too shabby for me being half hungover.

 

[Big country]

I like that Hogue stock. How mutch is that Nikon rim fire scope?

 

[hoytinak]

The Nikon was $120 after tax. I did quite a bit of research on which fixed 4x rimfire scope to get and it was between this Nikon and the Leupold FX-1. I was actually set out to by the FX-1 (but the Nikon actually a poll between the 2 scope for hunting/plinking) but no one here Amarillo had one in stock and me being impatient I wanted it that day so I bought the Nikon. I'm glad I got it as it's very clear and sits on the 10/22 perfect with the Burris low rings I got.

 

[Big country]

I just can't spend that kind of cash for a scope as there are other things I need to get done with that Tax return. But thanks for the info on it I'll look into it if I get the urge to get really serious about souping up the 10/22.

My lady asked what I wanted for Christmas. The answer was easy: a Volquartsen 10-22 trigger assembly. She chipped in for it and I received it just before Xmas. To put this in proper perspective, we paid more for the match trigger assembly than the new rifle I installed it in. Add to that trigger, the price of the rifle, stock, scope, rings and bull barrel, that mounts up pretty quickly.

Is that nuts? Yup! Did I do that more than once? Yup! Would I do that again.....probably.

Here's mine in it's current state. Internal mods only, trigger upgrades, smoothed internals, urethane bolt stop, etc.

I like it for what it is, a cheap plinker. It would make a great rodent hunter, but I'd throw the plain synthetic stock I have back on it for that. I got the Mannlischer stock from a friend, I really like the look and get a lot of compliments on it at the range.

While it's a fun gun to build and tinker with, I'm pretty much done. I haven't changed anything on it in a few years, but it's still fun to shoot. My friend has easily $1,000+ into his 10/22, and shoots dime sized groups at 30 yards, but the cost is just too high IMHO. I'd rather put that money into a handgun, or multiple other gun purchases.

 

[ROGER4314]

+10 on that stock! Yikes, that's beautiful!

[Young Gun]

Thanks, I'm really liking it so far. Only downside compared to the "regular" stock is weight, it is a bit heavier. I just bench shoot it though so it's not too big of a deal.

 

[Dcav]

That stock is very nice. Just sent my receiver cover and trigger group off for refinishing and rebuilding. Got a heavy barrel and stock on the way for it.

 

[ROGER4314]

I heard it said several years ago that the AR-15 was the "Barbie Doll" of the firearms industry because of the accessories available for it. I believe the Ruger 10-22 has edged out the AR for that title. I got infected by the bug long ago but it really took hold about 2 years ago. The toll now= 6!

2 things.

I love my 10/22

Walmart doesn't sell guns around here.
