Amazing how straightforward this gun is.
I went with the Volquartsen VCTP-1 trigger group and a Revolution Industries stock.
The scope is a Nikon Pro Staff I pulled off of my Mosin Nagant M44.
At 25 yds off the bench I could pretty much shoot a quarter sized group with it. Once I got the scope dialed in it would be absolutely perfect.
Yes, I know that 25 yards is very short game for this rifle, but indoor ranges only offer so much.
Yes, that is a left-handed stock and no, I'm not a southpaw. I'm a mostly ambidextrous shooter and 100% left-eye dominant, so I compensate in my pistol stance and shoot rifles left-handed.
I think I will upgrade the barrel as well sometime in the future (probably when my friend makes a 10/22 order), but for now, I'm very VERY happy.
If you're thinking about the Volquartsen trigger group, do it. 2.25-2.5 lbs is what the trigger is rated at and that is INSANELY light. I had at least two "accidental discharges", by that I mean, gun on sight, lining up target just perfect and preparing to squeeze - whoops. Shot early and missed by an inch.
As far as right-handed shooting goes, it's tolerable, the original stock was better obviously, but that's not the point. As a lefty, this thing fits me perfectly and feels AMAZING.
