In it for about $220, really happy about that. Still undecided about the scope, will decide after I zero it. Need a bipod, and done, till I start working on the trigger, probably wont do more than the bolt release mod, and polishing things up. The scope is a toolless adjustment, you do have to remove the turret caps though, but dont know if its worth the extra money to get a BSA sweet, or Mueller or something just for that. This does have illuminated reticle (R/G) which I like and mil-dots, $67 for the optic 4-16x40 including rings and flip up caps.  I think the scope rings are too tall, might see about swapping those out. ETA forgot, yes that is a threaded barrel, and the stock is the nylon hogue.

What do you guys think about these? I think it might be identical with different turrets. I can always remove the turret caps while shooting, not that big of a deal I guess.

This is my own personal opinion about the optics!
WAAAAAAY too much magnification for a 22 rimfire, even a common 3-9x is too much scope for a rimfire rifle where shots are usually less than 50 yards.  I have a 3-9x scope on my 10-22 but that's because its what I had available to mount without buying anything, personally a 4x fixed power or a 1-4x variable would be a better choice for a 10-22.
Really cheap scopes like the BSA or Leapers are usually a waste of money, IMHO a low end scope more like a Bushnell Banner would be a better choice while still keeping the price reasonable.

Has to look cool, and I really was looking for a 3-9 to start with, but I do like to push the limits of the 22, so 100+ yard shots for me and my buddies (on paper/steal, never an animal!) are not uncommon. I grabbed it because I could buy it local.

You build looks familiar.
