Re: Ruger 10/22 Tactical Target
I just bought one last week, and over all I like it alot. I paid $450 for it. I think for the price you can probably just buy a base model, hogue stock and a better barrel and be ahead for the same price if not under for a little trigger work.
With that said I dont regret my decision to buy it, the trigger is better then a factory base model trigger and it does come with a weaver base and a bipod.
So far I have only test fired it since I am waiting on rings, but plan on shooting it this weekend assuming my rings get here tomorrow.
Heres mine as she sits with a few mods -
Rimfire Tech tactical charging handle & 20moa extended base
Jard 1#LB trigger group - polished hammer and all contact point with the bolt
Polished contact points on the bolt
-Waiting on a set of Burris XTR MED rings and a TIG stock since they were the only ones that had what I wanted in the time frame I needed it.

Good luck with your TIG stock. Here is a guy from RFC who bought one recently and his experience:

Re: Ruger 10/22 Tactical Target
My experience with factory accurized 10/22's is that they are not bad rifles, they just aren't quite 'out there' at the head of the pack where extreme accuracy is concerned. I am perfectly willing to accept that in exchange for a factory warrantee.
One may indeed build more accurate 10/22's, and quite possibly do it cheaper; but then again, there's that warrantee...

Holy crap! I don't think they realize the effect forums like these have on their sales. Or they just don't care.

Re: Ruger 10/22 Tactical Target
Never did see that thread on RFC, I originally wanted to go with a boyds or Wallis forge but I am leaving in 2 weeks for work and theres no boyds to be found and Chris from wallis forge couldnt get one to me in time since he makes them to order. Chris is a great guy to talk to by the way.
Anyways if the TIG looks like the one in the RFC thread it will be going back and I will just order up from Chris since its what I wanted to do anyways. I will just have to wait and play with the stock next year when I get back from work.

Re: Ruger 10/22 Tactical Target
I have the Target Tactical 10/22 and a Savage Mark II 21inch heavy barrel and the Savage destroys the 10/22 in the accuracy department. I tested at least 15 different ammo choices in both guns ... ranging from bulk pack ammo to high end $10 a box ammo like Federal GMM - Eley Match - etc.
They both like CCI Subsonic ammo and quite a few subsonic brands would not cycle the 10/22 properly (yes it was clean).
For a 16 inch barrel it wasn't bad by any means - however I shoot my 22LR's at 100 yards most of the time. At the 50 yard line it does okay.
I think they are very overpriced currently - $500 plus for a 22? Its not like this is an 513T or 40x here .... its a 10/22. For that money you can get a Savage Mark II TR or TRR for a trainer.
My two cents

stroham,
That's what I'm looking for. What else compares in it's price range.

Your original post didn't specify purpose ... plinking ... serious target shooting ... trainer ... etc.
If its a trainer type rifle the Savage Mark II TR / TRR options can be had for approx $100 less. If this is the purpose then consider similiar optics, reticle, FFP/SFP on both etc etc.
If your just plinkin and shooting some squirrels ... options are endless and the 10/22 works great for that. I know guys that have some very accurate 10/22's but they have a lot of $$$ in them.
You shooting from 25 and 50 yards or you trying to shoot from 100 or more? Comparing my Savage Mark II against my 10/22 at 100 yards is like apples to oranges. 5 inches of barrel length difference/ bolt verses semi/ etc etc.
Purpose would dictate this purchase - just my opinion

Re: Ruger 10/22 Tactical Target
It would be a plinker/ trainer. I'm thinking the Savage is the way to go. Less money and as accurate if not more, Win, Win! Thanks guys for all of your help
