Ruger 10/22 Owners

[reggie 00]

I will say that my 10/22 is my favorite gun in my safe by far. It's accurate, cheap to shoot, the rifle itself is cheap, no recoil, reliable, no hearing protection needed, and can still dispatch a decent amount of animals. Plus, it provides a fun challenge to shoot 300+ yards where as my weatherby makes 300 yards look like a chip shot.

It's a great rifle to teach people to shoot as well, low noise and low recoil make for a fun shooting experience for anyone wishing to learn how to shoot a gun. I have convinced many people that their first firearm purchase should be 22lr rifle OR pistol.

Fuster has the right idea, build yourself a tactical 10/22.

X2 great way to learn, relearn,practice the basics.

A tactical one is on my list.
But until then i got a GSG-5 to play with too.

Yeah I am beginning to think it will be a keeper for sure.

Anyone have any parts for these they dont need?

I know I have a stock barrel and wood stock (possibly another stock barrel and a synthetic stock). Nothing aftermarket though.

Id be interested in a synthetic stock.

Very nice!

Ok, well let me see if I can find it for you. I built my rifle before I last moved, so it is possible that the stock never came with me during the move. However, I'll take a look for you and if I can find it, just need shipping and it's yours.

Sweet deal. If you find it ill throw a couple extra dollars for the trouble.

Bah, no worries. If I can't find it, would you be interested in the wood stock at all?

[Chapman88SR5]

Yeah sure, since I painted this one =)

I'll also say for anyone looking for a fun 10/22 build. Look at the 60 grain Aguila SSS ammo, it's subsonic, but really packs a punch with the extra weight. It's also a pretty weird/cool looking round:



You'll need a 1:9 twist barrel to stabilize it otherwise it's fairly pointless to shoot the ammo, but when/if you get a barrel like this, it's a real tack driver. I can still shoot hi-vel ammo with no issues as well. The improved sectional density and ballistic coefficient of this ammo really makes for a fun long range 22. While the drop is fairly significant, it still can reach out 250+ yards and carry a punch.

I got my barrel from Green Mountain, but from what I have read, they have stopped making them due to low demand. Volquartsen makes these barrels, but they carry a hefty price.

However, with the performance and accuracy, I wouldn't hesitate one bit to build another 10/22 with a 1:9 twist barrel for the 60 grain aguila ammo.

Sounds good to me! Heres to another expensive hobby!
