Ruger 10/22

Put in small game forum forgetting this forum is here.


Anyone have one?

I've got a few .22s but want to get something that I can customize and it looks like this is the route to go. Figured i'd see if anyone has any experience with the gun itself or building/customizing one.

Ive got 2. 1 the kids shoot is untouched. Mine the only part still stock is the action. I now have a CZ 455 trainer thats in the camo manners stock, I hardly touch my 10/22 anymore. Also have a cz 455 american thats for "hunting". All 3 three of mine will shoot under .500'' at 50 yards.

2 things that get a 22lr to shoot good
1. Good trigger around 2pounds or less
2. Find what ammo it likes. Generally a lead bullet around 1070fps...mine all shoot CCI standard velocity fairly well. If i need more accuracy I move up to Eley, SK, Lapua, RWS.

Was hoping you'd chime in if you had one. About how much $ do you think you have invested in the one that you decked out?

I’d guess $1500 total. Take off $800 for the optic.

This is what I’d buy now if I’d do it all over again.

Hard question to answer because I don't even know what I want yet but would I be best off finding a cheap used 10/22 and sticking the money in aftermarket parts rather than the rifle right off the bat? I haven't researched enough to know all of the differences in the 10/22 models.

Yeah. Depends on what you want to do with it.

The 10/22 is a great platform for customization. Your basically only limited by your imagination and budget. Post some pics when you get going on yours.

My 10/22 and some average CCI sv groups at 50 yards.

My cz with some recent groups

[greatwhitehunter3!]

Those are the kinds of groups i'm looking for at that distance.

What barrel do you have on your 10/22?
