Any reasons for me not to get a Ruger 10/22? Thank! |
|
|
Not particularly accurate unless you upgrade the barrel; stock trigger needs work to be light and crisp; stock is rather thick at the comb; mag release is awkward. Despite the negatves there are many positives. I've had one since 1982, but I do have other .22 rifles as there is no one, perfect .22 rifle. Overall valuewise, the 10/22 is just fine.
|
|
Only even remotely acceptable reason to not buy a 10/22 is that you already have a few.
|
|
Buy one. And despite what some might tell you, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the current manufacture. They can be found for about $200 and are fun as hell.
I have one (base model. Wood and blued barrel). I really want to pick up a handful more. In fact, I am debating trading off my 870 for a takedown model, if I can find one. |

It will eat up the .22LR ammo fort...
Too much fun to stop... BIGGER_HAMMER |

View Quote The aftermarket barrels can be better but the ones with extra tight chambers can be fussy and not real tolerant of dirt. I have found the stock Ruger barrels to be ok but as posted don't expect much from the stock triggers. Easy to work with and a bunch of outfits make all sorts of aftermarket stuff for them. |

Yeah, a good reason not to get one?
You can get a 10/22 takedown instead! |
|
They are great to throw money at to get them to perform as well as they should have in the first place....But hey, it's your money so have fun.
|
|
There are almost as many accessories for a 10/22 as there are for a Chevy
sold all mine but I think I'm gonna get the new Tacsol/Houge takedown |
|
Factory triggers with a pull weight at 6-10 pounds and gritty. You have to buy a good trigger for it, probably add a good stock, and probably a good barrel. By the time you make it a tackdriver you've spent a lot of money. Fun rifle with plenty of upgrades, plentiful magazines, handy to pack around.

I guess I got lucky with mine. I can shoot out a half dollar all day long at 40 yards. My AR-15 22 upper is still considerably more fun, but if I could find them easily right now, I would have another 5 10/22s just because. None of mine have ever been what I would consider inaccurate. |

View Quote Because you already have three or four Because you're a liberal Because your a communist Because you lost your man card Because you lost your woman card Because you hate real Americans Is that enough? 10/22 is a fine weapon. Easy to tinker and modify with. Shoots well out of the box. Doesn't require a lot of maintenance. Been around for 50+ years and is a well proven design. Now if you were to ask for a reason not to get a take down 10/22 I'd have to double my list. |

...because you can build a much better one than you can buy. View Quote Yep, get ready to toss everything but the receiver and replace with aftermarket stuff............ And then when you are all done, you'll wonder why you didn't just start off with an aftermarket receiver in the first place......... So you put all your goodies on a brand new aftermarket receiver, and put all your stock stuff back on the factory one, then sell the gun you ordered in the first place to someone else to repeat the cycle. |

Tag...I don't have a .22lr rifle
I'm torn between buying one of the Ruger 50th Anniversary models (with the adjustable stock, peep sight/rail built into it, etc)... Or, buying an NDS receiver (anyone around the twin cities stock one? ) and piecing it together that way...can't be THAT hard to build one, no? I really like the Ruger's bang-for-buck out of the gate, but if there's a chance I'm going to wind up replacing parts anyway...I'm not strictly looking for a complete tack driver though it would be nice to cover the group with a dime at 50 yards if I do my part off a rest...or at least a quarter |

Why would anyone buy a 10/22 when a savage mk II gets you the accutrigger and better accuracy right out of the box?

Loosen the two V block screws under the barrel, turn the rifle upside down and rest it on the ears of the front and rear sight. This should straighten the barrel. Then tighten the two screws again. |

This is my first 10/22 so I don't know how tight it should be in...if that's normal or not. I loosened up the v-block but wasn't really equipped to force the barrel out where I was...I'll give it another shot tonight. I've been reading up on it and saw I may need to pop it out with a block of wood and a soft mallet or something...we'll see. I just really wish I could get out to the range and try it. It's not that the range won't be empty...it's that at ~0f, even if I could get a good cheek weld, I'd be shaking too much after a while to reliably print a group |

Sometimes, just letting the bolt slam forward is sufficient to break the barrel loose. Be careful with the leading edge on the barrel - they can be really sharp. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v503/parshooter/ruger_10-22_barrel_removal_zps5b2cf586.jpg View Quote Yep, got it out...needed some coaxing. Recentered and with a plastic mallet with the sights down on a flat table, seated the receiver on the barrel (tapping the barrel seemed like it'd just knock it out of center again so I tapped the rear of the receiver instead, while holding both down flat). Not warm enough to really try at a range but in the basement with a couple CB Caps into a bigish phone book, it seemed to go where it was pointed at |

Glad to hear you got it straightened out. Time to start with the mods now, while you wait on it to warm up outside. You can do the auto-bolt-release yourself in a few minutes with a file or Dremel. Just make it look like the one in the pic: Get a bolt buffer, maybe a Volquartsen hammer or a charging handle from Rimfire Technologies. There's a gazillion different ways to personalize these, as you know, and that's half the fun of 'em. |

I am thinking about throwing a micro red dot on my 10/22 and getting the RAR for "accuracy". I had a factory HBAR 10/22 that was reaaallly accurate but I sold it because the Troy chassis I had scratched the living hell out of it and I am OCD. I also wanted a lighter gun anyways so I got a standard threaded model. The accuracy isn't as good but it is reliable and still fun to shoot. |
