First 10/22. Now the wait

[fmunk]

FYI, you don't need to stick to the more expensive CCI's on the 10/22. It will devour anything. If you must use high velocity, for that matter, CCI isn't the only brand of high velocity ammo available. There are cheaper options. The gun doesn't care what you feed it. And if you must buy CCI, check mail order prices. I find CA LGSs charge insanely high prices.

its like a ar, only cheaper to shoot. Have my eyes on a fluted stainless barrel thats about it. O an maybe a new stock. Yes thats it. Maybe a new trigger. Yeah thats about it. O and that nice competition charging bolt, yeah... lol did i miss anything?
This could lead to another hobby. Hmm or leave she be?

Yes, yes, yes, yes...and don't forget the Volquartsen automatic bolt release.. This is generally the first thing I do to a 10/22...

Volquartsen auto bolt release????

It doesn't have to come for Volquartsen. These things are all over the place and eBay. Fairly common mod for the 10/22. Allows for bolt-hold-open. It doesn't hold the bolt open on empty, you would have to manually lock it open. Once locked open, all you have to do is pull back on the CH to release. On mine, a 80s production bought used... I have Kidd trigger (awesome), PWS paddle style mag release, PWS carbon sleeved barrel, Boyd tactical stock (great stock), Ti firing pin, the bolt device, HPA brake (just for looks)... and TriMag mag connectors. Only the receiver, steel trigger housing and bolt are stock.

You may want to spend some time browsing E. Arthur Brown's website (http://www.eabco.com). It's a good place to see a large portion of what's out there for the 10/22.

It is still cheap compared to large caliber rifles. Ammo is cheap and parts are also relatively cheap. It's always good to bring along to the range when you have new shooters with you who are intimidated by larger calibers. They can shoot it and have fun instead of being bored watching everyone else send 308s down range. Average cost of a well built 10/22 is around $600. If you just run a green mountain or Bulter Creek barrel and a Hogue stock, you can easily keep it much cheaper. The Boyd stock I used isn't expensive. Under 100. I personally don't like the tactile feel of the Hogue rubber overmold stocks. And I didn't pay full retail for many of the parts I used. I shopped around.

None of the mods are essential. Just like anything else, it can be as expensive as you wish. For me, the joy was in the build process and seeing how my friends enjoy shooting it.

For anyone who doesn't want to go through the build process, Magnum Research Maglite. Basically a factory modded out 10/22 clone: http://www.gunblast.com/MagnumResearch-MLR1722M.htm Available in 22LR, 22WMR and 17HMR.

Plan was just a truck gun. Bounching around in the silverado, ready for immediate plinking, no tin can is safe...

Then i see what the 10/22 can be. O no now what am i to do. Lol

Then you don't really need to mod it at all. Not even a bull barrel. Just shoot it and mod it as you find deficiencies in factory configuration.

maybe get another one, or receiver and start a build!

Congrats on getting a great rifle. I like the look of that stock with the stainless barrel.

Before spending any $$$ on modifications, give your 10/22 a good shakedown cruise and enjoy it. Then think about how you want to use it, and what parts of it you want to improve. If you like that stock, you will be looking only at barrels that fit its tapered channel. I think that would be Green Mountain and Feddersen. Or you can get Connecticut Precision Chambering to rework your OEM barrel - which costs less than a whole new barrel.

Good call on not getting the TD if you want to shoot with a sling. I just tested one and was not happy with the large POI change under sling tension.

Receivers aren't cheap. There is this option... http://ruger1022receiver.com

Yes, i am gonna shoot the poop out of this. I hope she like remmington golden's as i have a bucket that needs to be emptied. Then i can figure what to do with the gun. Sure is nice to have ss finish. I love the Hunter. Maybe i should try and find a nice red stock to match the hunter?

Thanks for that confirmation. TD is really nice looking tho.

OMG nice link. Now you have done it....Crap the wifey is so NOT gonna like this. I already am in deep water from my other toys. Lol.

LOL. Legal disclaimer, I am not responsible for your divorce.

[Strykeback]

Lol wow those are some awesome options. I might have to do a little cash back here and there over the next week or two and grab a stainless 10/22 as well. At least the entry to play is cheap. I hear you on the wife. I started snagging parts for an AR build right before our son was born after we had only been married a few months, she suddenly got around to wanting to join the checking accounts, but all they did was toss her on mine. She was not happy when she started scrolling months back finding part purchases....lol
