One of the best upgrades I did to my 10/22 was upgrade the extractor and also the magazine release. Those two cheap / simple upgrades alone really help with the functionality of the gun imo.
KIDD products (coolguyguns.com) are pretty much top of the line and very popular with the 10/22 crowd along with volquarsen as you mentioned above. |

This! And, drop in a BX trigger for those really nice groups.

Before you do mods, make sure you know the rules for the class in which he is shooting. My niece is shooting competitively through 4H and some mods I suggested would change her class. Just a thought.
And, yep, there are some really cool mods for 10/22s |

Tech sights and good mags and a decent trigger He's 11 Typically .22 is 12 and older with Hunter safety... Don't have him chase equipment... (I've been a 4H and NRA certified Instructor for years) Focus on the fundamentals. |

This. Let him learn on OEM for a season. Let him use his experiences in deciding what parts will make him better.

Prioritize the three key upgrades. Accuracy, reliability, and ease of use.
Good sights and a good trigger are key starting points of accuracy. If those are allowed I'd start there. A machined bolt face and barrel are the next steps. Next is reliability. Upgrades like an aftermarket extractor. Then ease of use. Bolt buffer will help with recoil and is cheap. Magazine lever extension and bolt hold open mod. |

Focus on the fundamentals. First practice is this Saturday. I put the iron sight barrel back on and removed the scope base so it won't be in the way. I agree completely on fundamentals. I want him to learn iron sights. I'm gonna talk to his instructor plus see what everyone else is using; he doesn't have to have an olympic quality platform but I don't want him left behind either. |

Lots of 1022s, have a church group rimfire challenge every month(without snow!). For fundamentals I would go with improved iron sights, I like the Tech sights. And send the trigger group to Brimstone for his lowest level upgrade(tier 3), about $38 plus shipping. His sweet spot work yields 2-3 # trigger pull, and he does the auto bolt close mod. Good to go with these two mods! Like mentioned before, trigger and sights.

I agree standard triggers are sketchy and need improvement . NRA Junior shooting has a minimum trigger of 4lbs I believe,check on the 4H program. Hate to be a nay sayer but it is possible they require single shot bolt action also |

Hate to be a nay sayer but it is possible they require single shot bolt action also It's actually a 15 rd magazine. My 4H program uses CZ .22 Bolt guns. They have detachable 5 rd mags, but I have them single load, 4H programs seem to have a lot of leeway as to the type of firearm used. I have had lots of shooters and their Dads ask if they can use there own rifles. I tend to discourage that practice and ask them to run with the Program's guns as it makes my life easier... I spend less time messing with issues that arise from all types of mods and doo dads that are used to try and purchase skill. The CZ's are nice, but can be a bit heavy, especially for the female shooters. |

I would start with a simple bolt buffer and a set of Tech Sights or NDS sights. A better trigger will help him have a good time. Get him very comfortable and shooting it well off a bench before he starts shooting off hand or in positions. Confidence in the equipment breeds confidence later off hand.

Strip 10/22 down to receiver.
Throw everything away but the receiver. Replace everything with Kidd products. Highly recommend his two-stage trigger. |

I would suggest a Tier2 trigger job from Brimstone (probably the next best trigger after a Kidd 2 stage) and a new barrel. That will set you back about $200-$250 depending on what barrel you get. |

Or just don't buy a Ruger 10/22 at all. Start off with a Kidd billet receiver. |

My favorite is an auto-bolt release. A good trigger is the first fix.

I agree with the mag release and trigger.
