Just bought my first 22lr.

Where is the cheapest place to buy factory mags??

Midway USA has the Ruger factory magazines on sale at the moment:

Saw an ad at Turner's. $210 for a Ruger 10/22 stainless. So I drove by this afternoon and bought one. Any recommendations on add-ons or accessories I should look into while I'm doing the 10 day wait?

you can change the barrel out as well as the trigger to give a better pull

[Rich2011]

Thanks for the tips!

10 days is too long a wait. It allows for more time to consider buying more add-ons before I even have rifle in hand.

How about something like this to go with your new 10/22

[ojisan]

The newer 10/22s finally come with a extended mag release.
I would suggest the addition of the auto bolt release and either a hammer and spring kit ($40) or hammer, spring and sear kit ($70) from either Power Custom or Volquartson.
You may also want to buy an extractor ($8) from either company if your gun does not extract and eject reliably.
Otherwise you are good to go.

Optics or a red dot? Up to you...yes, a mount comes in the box.

Then again, the sky is the limit...

Congrats.

I miss my old 10/22, that's on my top ten next to buy list.

I based most of the upgrades per Appleseed. So here are the parts I bought so far:


Simmons 22 Mag Scopes 22 Mag 3-9x32 w/Rings AO Matte
USGI Cotton Sling
Butler Creek Mag Loader
Uncle Mike's Quick Detachable Machine Screw Type Sling Swivels 1-1/4" Black
Ruger Magazine Ruger 10/22 22 Long Rifle 10-Round Polymer Black x3
Bell and Carlson Extended Magazine Release
Volquartsen Recoil Buffer
Power Custom Rifle Trigger with Overtravel Adjustment Ruger Aluminum Red
Volquartsen Bolt Release and Target Hammer

I'm not too worried about how it looks. I just want it to shoot well. I'll also Probably upgrade the barrel and stock down the road.

You wouldn't happen to be a college student, would you?

[HeHateMe]

after my first 10/22, I replaced all my extractors with volquartsen extractors, even on my MkIIs. It's a cheap part that I feel increases reliability and reduces frustration.

[rojocorsa]

Awesome.

I say go buy lots of ammo and really learn how to shoot it well.

If you prefer iron or peep sights, check my review:

Good buy,my son and i love shooting are 10/22

[Head416]

I just put the Volquartsen bolt catch release and extended magazine release on mine last week. Used them for the first time on Sunday... very happy! Also ordered some tech sights but they haven't come yet.

Looking over this list I just realized I have nothing to mount the scope on. Any ideas?

Dead Nutz Game Reaper scope mount is the only way to go. Super high quality product and they dont rip you off by charging too much. You can get them for ~$40 on Amazon.
