10/22 scout build in progress

[TheOrise]

Took this rifle out a few weeks ago. Off the bat it was hitting 10" steel plates from 100yrds without any adjustment to the MBUS sights after installing.

Scout rail = $30
MBUS pts = $10
Red dot = free (given to me, need riser for picatinny)
Auto Bolt release = free (buddy had an extra plate)
Still waiting on a few parts (skeletonized charging handle, threaded muzzle adapter/muzzle break. Don't know if I'll add an extended mag release or not.
Here is how it looks so far, once I get more put together I'll update with pics!

Looks pretty sweet.
Get some better lighting and more angles.
Close ups of your sights?

[TheOrise]

Here is a better pic, was trying to wait till I got more parts added. I put on the red dot w/o picatinny riser (waiting for one to come).

[CasperSYTFU]

Looks like a beaut.
Great shooter!

I got a few modified BX25 mags that are blocked for 10rnds. Still waiting on parts but got the muzzle adapter and picatinny riser on. Co-witness lines up perfectly! Knocked out the front sight when I added the muzzle break........... Next week I should have some more parts in for some new pics.

Ordered a barrel adapter with top and bottom picatinny rail. Going to mount behind muzzle brake, move front MBUS to that rail. Once I do that I am going to move the red dot up to where the front MBUS is at now, possibly get a 3x magnifier for the red dot. Remove laser (I have a low profile one that will mount on bottom front picatinny rail). I dont know how that will look but I guess I will find out!

It's so tactical! The operator gods are proud of you!

I love the rifle, but what's the point of doing this? Are you doing tactical reloads with your 10/22 and the 10 rounders aren't easy enough to jam into the gun in a hurry?

Anything over 10rnds in California is illegal. I moved out of California a few weeks ago and now live in Virginia. I can pretty much get my hands on ANYTHING my heart desires now. No more waiting periods!



Way overkill but this rifle now has the option of red dot (co-witness), MBUS (used a barrel rail and attached to the flash hider for better radius) and a laser. Doesn't look the prettiest but it is fun to shoot and accurate in this set up. Standing I can hit an 8" steel plate at 100 yards all day. Their are 2 - 10rnd backup mags in the riser/stock pouch just in case.

It's funny, you actually hindered your "scout" abilities by adding all that crap. A stock 10/22 with a trimag would be more practical and easier to shoot quickly.

Agree.

I think money is better spent on accurizing upgrades...

But if I were going to build up a scout rifle from a 10/22, I would have changed the stock to this: (dark brown option)

and gone with tech sights like these:

But that's just me...

The only dedicated part is the scout rail (set me back 30 bucks). The rest of the parts can be used on any rifle we own. I notice with the setup acquiring targets is much faster than when using just normal sights (main purpose I built it like this). I wanted to be able to interchange parts with other rifles instead of dedicating the money to the 10/22 only. I have been considering to replace the sights/rail with one of these - http://www.midwayusa.com/product/259...-22-steel-blue
