Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

[RicosRevenge]

I caught the bug for a .22 for fun, trigger control and ammo cost - .308 gets expensive!!!

I had a 10/22 sitting around and found out a Range Officer at the place I shoot at was a competitive 10/22 shooter! Uh oh...

We ended up doing the auto bolt release mod, adding a Volq extended mag release, a Volq hammer and spring to bring the tirgger down to right below 3 pounds, Weaver rail, Millet rings, Weaver T-24, Boyds Tacticool (with a one-off "RicosRevenge Krylon Camo" design)and a Kidd 20" Match Barrel.

With Federal GM Ultra Match or Lapua Midas I can hold 5-shots to 3/8" or better at 50 yards. I'll take that!!! I look forward to burning through a lot of .22 ammo!!

At which range in DFW do you shoot? I might like to join you and your RO with my own Ruger 10/22s...

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

Very nice!

What stock is on your 10/22? Boyd tactical?

 

[RicosRevenge]

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

SoCalPete - It is the Boyds "Tacticool" stock.

B. Melick - I shoot at Elm Fork but they don't have a rimfire 50 yard open to the public. They let me sneak in on the centerfire range.

I think Alpine has a rimfire range though.

These 10/22's can be addicting to trick out,I remember talking to a guy about 4 years ago that had about $1100 in a really nice 10/22 and thought"what a dumbass".Now here I am doing the same thing and loving it.

Great looking rig you have there!!!! 10/22's are very addictive and fun to build. There are just so many ways one can go with a build.

I'll join you at Elm Fork sometime, or we can go to Dallas Pistol Club or to Haltom City Rifle & Pistol Club or several other private ranges in the area...

Sounds great to me! I'll be down at the inlaws ranch the next 2 weekends but anytime after that I should be good.

Just hit me with a PM.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

I shoot my 10/22 at Elm Fork sometimes too. If its not busy and Sam knows you can shoot he will sometimes let us shoot .22 on the rifle range at 50 yard targets.

Nice range and nice folks there.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

repiv... are you the guy with the Volq 10/22 in a Houge Over Mold and the Rem 5R with the Jewell trigger at 7 ounces?

 

[repiv]

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

yes, I figured out the connection as well after reading your posts. I am planning on going back out there Sat or Sun morning.

Tell Sam I won't be there as I must go South for a funeral.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

I done the same thing but being a poor college kid at the time I kept my build as cheap as possible. I had the trigger worked and put a Green Mountain 20" barrel on it. Bought a cheap plastic stock and after running hundreds of rounds of various types of 22lr ammo through it, I got this group. I was aiming at 6oclock. Group .3125 -.22= .0925 group.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

I did the same thing as you ran several hundred rounds from different manufacturers, maybe close to 1000 rounds, through mine and this past weekend I finally found something it liked. I shot a 7 shot group (mag was empty) about the size of 2 .22 holes at 50 yards with Remington Target Ammo (Eley).

Target Ammo

I cant wait to shoot it again.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

great looking rifle hows she group?

 

[RicosRevenge]

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

I'll get some "group pics" for you this weekend varmint6.

3/8" (OD) is about average at 50 yards with 5 shots. Still working on ammo selection.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

My 10/22 with an 18" GM fluted heavy barrel will group Remington Subsonic under 3/8" OD (50yards), it seems to be the favorite for this rifle.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

Rico are you going to be at Elm Fork this weekend? I should be there early Sunday.

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

Quail Creek has a 50 yard range. You DFW guys let me know the next time you go rimfire shootin. Been pimpin myself a 10/22.

 

[repiv]

Re: Got my 10/22 finished (for now)...

You can shoot 50 yard at Quail Creek but they only have 2 stations and its hard to get on them. I would be open to going sometime if a few people want ot meet up.

Nice looking rifle. Really like the looks of that Kidd barrell.
