Ruger 10/22 take down rifle

[Foul Mike]

I recently bought a Ruger 10/22 TD rifle.
It comes with a nice carry bag and shoots well. I have had no failures with it with about 1K rounds shot so far.
I really like it.
Have any of you had any experience with them and if so what do you think of them? Regards, FM

What's the accuracy like? I'm wanting to get one to replace my other 10/22 but only if its fairly accurate since you can't upgrade the barrel yet.

Re: Ruger 10/22 take down rifle

My son has a 10/22 rifle that has quite a few rounds through it that we were shooting along with a friend that has one about 3 years old with far fewer rounds fired. The take down grouped better than both of them at 50 yds. All are iron sighted.
All I have shot so far is Fed. bulk and some old T-22. The T-22 shot best.
I want to change the rear sight then run several kinds of ammo to determine what it likes best but haven't gotten it done yet. So far I am impressed with the accuracy but don't think I have done enough yet to really say just exactly what it will do.
I will post back when I do.
When I started this thread I didn't realize there was already a thread on here about them. That will teach me to look farther before I start something. Regards, FM

I also feel it won't be long before there are upgrades out as far as bbls etc. go. I hope so as it would be neat to have a few choices. FM

I'd like to wait until they offer a threaded version or a barrel mfg comes out with a threaded barrel.

On my standard 10/22 I chopped the front and had it threaded. It worked ok but it was more expensive then a factory option.

My Squaw and I, AKA Panty 6+, went out and shot this today.
It went well for a while and then did not want to pick up Fed. bulk,[ the only thing I had.]
It had worked fine for about 45 rds. then something happened and it was FTF a few times.
I brought it home and did field mtce. and got a new magazine and started looking around for other ammo Got it done and now have 5 kinds of ammo for the AM.
It worked fine for a while and as with any kind of new machinery, now wants cleaned and an oil change I guess.
I kind of wonder if something got in the mag and caused problems but don;t know. Worked fine for a while and I really like shooting it as does the squaw. Will know tomorrow AM. Regards, FM
