I held one for the first time about six months ago and then today finally saw the one on the shelf again and picked it up for myself. Now I’m just irritated that they don’t make the Leupold VXII in 2 to 7 anymore. This rifle should be on your list. Stock photo: Attached File |

I think they make a takedown version though. I had a takedown(not carbon) but to be honest, I found it not so useful in that form. |

This is the one I’m looking at https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/rifles/ruger-1022-carbon-fiber-takedown-22-long-rifle-clear-satintextured-white-speckle-black-semi-auto-rifle-161in/p/1989874 If I get another one I’d like a takedown model |
Do you see me, Toecutter?

That stock looks good. I haven't seen one in person. I have a 10/22 I put a Tactical Solutions barrel on 20 years ago and every time I pick it up I chuckle how light it is. Only thing that feels weirder to me is my 22/45 Tactical Solutions gun that doesn't even feel real. Unfortunately mine aren't threaded. There are so many lightweight options available now you can get any setup you want 16", Charger length, Takedown, Fixed. |

Thought about buying one, even handled one. Went a different direction and got a CZ 457 bolt gun instead. Looks like it'd be fun with a Mars trigger tho...  Mars trigger 10/22 frt |

I had to notch out the barrel insert for my suppressor, but could leave the stock itself alone. Got plenty of clearance and have not seen heat damage. I bought a spare barrel insert in case I did not like it. But ended up not needing it. I did not like shooting the charger with a brace, but it is a blast in the Magpul stock. |

I think this was just under six as it is. That includes the BX-25 trigger it comes with, which is a nice factory trigger. Looking at it…aluminum frame, stainless barrel, tensioned in carbon, aluminum receiver, and whatever the stock is makes this gun pretty darn good for all weather. It could even be a good survival or emergency rifle for the car accepting you can’t likely use it to break your fall. |

Summit Precision and Volquartsen run $2-300 for the barrels |

For carrying around and general shooting it's perfect. |

that seems odd - all that carbon - per my google search, weight in at 3.5 lbs? that seems high for comparison i put my AGP arms takedown on the scale - comes in at 4lbs 5 oz and that's with suppressor (2 oz) and sig romeo 5 (5.5 oz on its own) - meaning 3.85 lbs comparative. |

There isn't much consistency in the lightweight barrels even just the carbon fiber ones. |
