186 - Custom 10/22's
« on: November 10, 2010, 07:50:40 AM »
I got into shooting a two years ago because my father is a hunter and a shooter and I was looking for something to connect with him on.  He is a very good shot, to the point he has won 3 paintings at the Cooper One-shot Comp, and since I didn't believe I could compete with him with rifles, I took up pistols and now shoot IDPA have attended a USTG course et cetera...  BUT I still needed something to "compete" with him.  Due the relatively low cost and since he has a 50 yd range on his property I decided to build this 10/22 last year.



This has a Custom Swamp Maple Stock, a Kidd trigger, Kidd Barrel, Kidd Bolt Buffer and Leupy VX-3 4-12 AO scope.  I have about $1200 in it and regularly shoot sub-MOA 10 shot groups.

He has a similarly built squirrel gun with mainly VQ parts and we shoot against each other every time I make the trip home to Ohio, but it gives us something to talk about every week.

My next plan for this rifle is to add a sling and use it for an Appleseed event.

I would like to read some other .22 related stories from forum members.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

As I listened to the podcast I wondered who would start this thread  ;D
Welcome to the Forum NC Buckeye.
Looking at your rifle only two words comes to mind, "simple elegance".

The 10/22 is produced in the millions, but the work you put into it makes it "one of a kind".
