[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Edit** Got Answer on Rimfire Central- Scoped 10/22 takedown question

Posted: 1/20/2017 9:57:29 PM EDT

Does the point of aim shift at all when the rifle is taken down and reassembled several times? I'm looking at picking up the 10/22 Lite.
Thanks ahead of time for the replies. The answer is apparently, each shot, the vibration from the action causes the barrel to shift ever so slightly causing variances between shots. The only real solution is buying a model where the sighting system is mounted directly to the barrel.

Not sure. Mine is an old 10/22 before the takedown ones. If put together the exact same way each time I don't really see it being that much of an issue.

Not that I can tell. Minute of bunny maintained.

In my experience, yes. Anywhere from 1/2" to 1" at 50 yds.
Variable pressure on the forearm also affects it significantly.
And yes, I'm well aware of how to adjust the tension ring for a tighter lockup.

Magpul just came out with an X-22 takedown stock and an optics mount that replaces the rear sight and lock mechanism on the barrel.
This would place a red dot optic fully on the barrel portion, rather than the receiver and "should" eliminate any zero shift after reassembly.
The only drawback with the setup is that you're basically limited to a red dot rather than a scope.

ETA - Amega Mounts makes a mini-scout mount for the 10/22 takedown. Basically a barrel shroud with a picatinny rail.
It's attached by the dovetail of the rear sight and the barrel band.
This allows you to mount a long eye relief scout scope or handgun scope on the barrel portion.

Mine had tech sights and it doesn't show any significant shift. I can keep 10 rounds inside of a quarter at 50 yards.

Speaking of a scoped 1022 takedown... what are some good options? Vortex Crossfire II? Vortex Diamonback? BSA? Nikon-P22?

I put a Leupold Rimfire 2x7 on mine.

How much shift are we talking. Mine repeats and shoots more accurate than a standard 10/22. Just be aware that accuracy taken to the extreme was never what the takedown was about. Mine shoots under 1" at 50 yards with Tech Sights. It's not a bench rifle. I can hit a 3" steel target over and over at 100 yards with open sights
