My 1st 10/22

**kbi** · 04-14-07, 18:19

Decided to fill in a gap in my longarm menu.

I got tool's for distance and for up close and personal use but somethings been bugging me the past few weeks .

I didnt have a .22

I figure if something happened (you know poo hitting the fan) I could use one for different applications & such. So I payed gotm4 a visit after work because I was looking for a bipod for the 5R but as soon as I walked in the door I immediatly was drawn to the rifle rack (like a damn moth to the flames) but all in all I like it and the 10/22 looks like a well built little rifle/carbine.

And I know I can make it EBR complaint over time.

I was looking at the Outback 2, AAC Aviator & YHM Wraith Q/D . Any body had experience with any of them?

Updated pic 2/26/07 Me do something special tonight!

Felt funny taking a emery cloth to a new barrel but it worked.

Done for now at least.

Mine sports a VQ drop in trigger group, Houge overmold stock, Tac Sol OD green threaded barrel, and a Tac 65 can which works great. Topped it off with a 10x Super Sniper in Badger Ordinance mounts. Kinda overkill but I enjoy shooting it.

Colt6920 I decided and went with the Tactical sol black threaded barrel as well as ordering a Hogue OM green stock and weapon craft buffer.

Now all I need is a scope.

I am brand new to .22 also and have a Ruger MKII being built at Clark Custom Guns and a CZ 452 American .22LR. I decided on a Leupold 3-9x33 VX-II Rimfire E.F.R. Riflescope. It's a VX-II with better glass and has AO. Does not have target style knobs but it does have click adjustments. Used Burris Signature Series mounts / rings and it dialed in at 50 yards just fine.

SWFA wants $349.95 before shipping. I found this rimfirecentral thread and got the VX-II E.F.R from Ron for $307.53 shipped to NV. Here is a pic of one (eta: not mine): 3-9X33 E.F.R. pic

Clark Custom has a great 10/22 menu also - check it out.

"Run Away!" to quote Brave Sir Robin.

10/22's are even worse than AR's for adding accesories that are worth more than the rifle is.

They are great fun guns, first long gun I purchased oh many years ago. You will enjoy it, just do not start to mod it.

My 10/22 kind of looks like I drug it down the tacky aisle with the crap magnet turned on. Folder, bipod, tac-sling, flash supressor, etc. But from the time I got it until the time I could drive (and my interests changed

), my freetime always consisted of dragging that little gun all over the countryside. I shot the heck out of it and it still runs like a champ. I really need to get it out and shoot it, it's been a while...

Everyone needs a 10/22, good cheap fun. I'd like to build another more on the lighter side,
something to carry around while hiking. That Hogue tan stock would make a nice start.

So far I haven't felt the need to replace the trigger, and other internals. I've been happy with just the Green Mountain 20" bull barrel and
Bell & Carlson stock. BSA scope, Power Custom base, I think they're Burris rings, can't remember.

Nice rifle Wes simple yet effective.

What power optics do have on it.

I found that out real quick my head is still spinning. All I need is a decent (on a budget)scope for it.

Im looking at the Simmons 3-9x32 A/O (part#511072) and rings from SWFA for $59.95.

But if theres any other scope out there you guys recommend I look at let me know (remember budget).

How are the muellers by the way?
