Title: Finished 10/22 (for now)
Post by: gunman42782 on May 10, 2011, 09:32:43 AM
Well, here is a pic of my new 10/22 now that I am done with it:

Put a Tasco Pro Point red dot optic on it.  Not a bad optic.  It has both red and green dots.  The power setting on both only go up to 5 however.  I can live with that.  The extended mag release I put in is much bigger than the one I have on my target 10/22.  Not sure I like that.  I have hit the thing while shooting several times now and dropped the dang mag out of it!  I don't have that problem with my other one, which as I say, although extended, is not so long as this one.  The bolt hold open is sweet.  And the trigger pull is much improved.  I just bought this one to play with, and it is a lot of fun.  Have put 1100 rounds through it since I bought it last week!

Nice looking 10/22!

Just finished my own 10/22, a Target model. I put in a Volquartsen trigger group, extended bolt handle and a couple of other small parts. It also has a TASCO ProPoint on it, but an ancient one...gives me up to 11 adjustments on the red dot. I shot the stock Ruger version in the RRC World Championships last year in Cali and was pleased with its performance. I shot he "upgraded" version yesterday, and ( as we used to say) boy howdy! It was a good gun; it's now a great gun! I'll be using it in the RRC Worlds at Founder's Ranch in NM in August.

Gotta build up a second 10/22 for my Sweetie, who want one with a set of iron sights to match her cowboy rifle. She's already copped my Tactical Solutions/Kimber .22 target pistol as her very own...

I just knew looking at this thread was gonna piss me off! Grrrr Cos I cant have one!!!!!!!!

Looks sweet mate! A no nonsense well built .22. What a great little piece of kit!

I have to make do with my little ruger charger with the archangel kit  :'(
I did swap out the original polymer trigger kit and replaced it with a Hornet trigger kit with metal housing. Trigger pull is a nice crisp 2.75lb and is sweet. Damn thing is more accurate than most .22 rifles at my club will group 10rnd inside 13mm at 50m.
