I have a T.S. fluted and threaded barrel on my 10/22 and I am wondering peoples opinions on the best ammo to shoot out of it. Also is it worth buying the T.S. compensator.

I bought the threaded model because it was $86(new,never installed) at the bargain cave at my local cabellas.Thanks for any info.

Thats a Steal of a price! I'm curious as well about the compensator.

I have the compensator and I can't really say it does much of anything.  The recoil feels the same as all my other .22s; that is to say, there is none.

I'm about 99% sure all the recoil from a 10/22 is the bolt slapping back.  On that note, those cheap recoil buffers you see really do work in quieting/softening that slap.

Personally, I bought the "compensator" because I do wander around the woods with this thing an wanted to keep the crown safe.

EDIT TO ADD: Sorry, forgot about the ammo question.  If you are unfamiliar with wolf (yea, I said wolf) .22 match ammo, try it out.  Really is quite accurate.  When I zero in with wolf then switch back to bargain box I feel like I just threw my accuracy away.

If suppressors are legal there I would same my $$ and put it towards one. Personally I shoot CCI Subsonics, but that is mostly due to suppressor use. I would say that anything CCI should be good. Just buy some quality ammo and see for yourself.

Thanks for the the info.

Unfortunately we minnesotans cant have suppressors, otherwise I would spend the loot to get one.

I have been wondering about the wolf. I do use it in my AR's and people think Im crazy. The shit works fine for plinking and I average only 1 dud per/1000

I don't think Wolf even makes there own rimfire ammo. But I have heard it is decent stuff.

I think wolf is rebranded Eley. I personally shoot the cci mini mags and federal bulk out of my 10/22 and love it.

I believe this is correct...it sure smells like Eley

The comp does help in muzzle rise which is what it was designed for. I have an extra if you are interested in one.

I have a TacSol Barrel and it LOVES the Federal AutoMatch from the walmart bulk pack.  This is the only place I have been able to find it and I think it might be their exclusive.  This stuff has shot 5 shot, dime size groups at 50 yards.  As good as some Eley match ammo i tried.  The Federal is like $12.00 for 350.  Try some if you can.
