I have a new 10/22 with the standard barrel and black plastic stock. I have decided that I want a stock with sling swivel studs and have been looking around for a replacement stock, hopefully in wood. I've seen a number of older wood stocks, but I am now wondering if there have been any changes to the 10/22 action/barrel over the years that would not allow my new rifle to fit in an older stock. Anybody know about that? Any feedback is appreciated.

they should fit. the design has barely changed -
The only real difference over the years is the rear corners / back flat area of the receiver.
In years past, the corners were machine rounded.
On newer guns like yours, the rear corners are left as cast.
There is a slight radius change between new and old.
The stock you select may or may not need the corners opened up a bit for the newer type receiver to fit properly.

I just bought a Ruger 10/22, and the length of reach was too long for my wife, plus, I couldn't see the factory sights because of my earmuffs.
I then bought the Archangel Deluxe Target Stock. Same problem. I returned it. Someone recommended the Blackhawk Axiom, but I saw it at Sportsmans Warehouse, and it looked really cheap. A customer there said that he had tried it and because the barrel was 'floating out in the middle of nowhere', his accuracy crashed, so he returned it. Has anyone here tried (or kept) the Axiom stock?
I then looked at the Tapco stock online- can't find it locally. Does anyone know anything about this one?
Thanks, everyone!Comment

^ Maybe try a stock from the 10/22 Compact model which has about a 1" shorter length of pull.
Sometimes earmuffs are just plain too big and in the way and ear plugs work better.
There are some slim muffs out there that help with stock clearance...not sure what brand you use now.

You can find 10-22 "Deluxe Sporter" stocks (used) for sale at gunshows---price depends on condition, but I've seen a couple of real nice ones for $65 and that's before offers. They have sling studs on them. Also check CGs for sale threads.Comment

If you you plan to scope the rifle and can afford $120 a Revolution Trailblazer is a beautiful stock and is available in left or right hand for a factory barrel or a .920 barrel. The high comb makes it easier to get a cheek weld with a scope.

Customer FUD!
BLACKHAWK! Axxium is a good stock -- well made -- having the barrel "float out there" if it is a proper barrel doesn't effect accuracy because it doesn't get pressure from the stock pressing against it. Target rifles are usually "free floated" barrels. Ojisan is it different for 10-22s?
The four rifles below have "free floated barrels --

And they make slim muffs.Comment

Many 10/22 target shooters prefer to free float the barrel.
Some prefer to have a small contact pad at the very front of the stock that pushes up ever-so-slightly on the barrel.
If going the pad way, the pad has to be shaped and located so the barrel naturally lies in the same spot on the pad every shot.
