Re: New to me Ruger 10/22

Shot the ruger today, not at paper just at my range on steel, so i have no idea what kind of groups im getting. but i tell you its not as good as the trusty cz. I am going to put it back in the wood stock and float the barrel. after shooting with that folding stock i do not like it at all. ha ha. I made a few hits at 500. but it took 20 shots to do it. stand by for a real range report soon
 
Re: New to me Ruger 10/22

it not common on a 10-22 to float the barrel, especially heavy barrels, something about the aluminum reciever cant handle the weight, check with the guys over at rimfire central if you are gonna do a custom with it, they seem to know their stuff, after reading all the tutorials here is the one i ended up building, bedded barrel, and free floated the action...

I shot the gun some more with some proper bags. shoots ok. i was hitting a 6 inch target at 213 yards with blazer ammo 8 out of 10 shots. I also took a few more shots at 500. the blazers shoot alot flatter then the rem subsoncis i tried the first time. I was doing double taps at 500. very cool bam bam...... wait.... ting ting... lol
 
Re: New to me Ruger 10/22

Ruger 10/22s are sweet guns. I had a couple that I tricked out in different ATI stocks and such. They were a lot of fun but I never expected much out of them as far as accuracy went. My Savage 954 shot more accurate than my 10/22 for half the price. I have yet to figure that one out. The 10/22 can be pretty darn accurate if you get a custom one.
