Thanks for all the kind words! I had a real hard time figuring out where I wanted to go with this rifle but I couldn't be happier with the results.
I began with the old walmart 10/22 for $140, sold the stock and barrel, then started with the add ons.
VQ hammer
VQ bolt release
VQ mag release
Tactical Solutions black 16.5" threaded barrel
Hogue OD green overmolded stock
Weaver rings
Leupold rifleman 2-7x33mm scope
and the icing on the cake: an SWR Warlock suppressor.
This setup actually weighs LESS that the gun did stock with a skinny barrel. About 5lbs total. If you dont know anything about tacsol barrels check them out. A fluted bull barrel only weighs in at about 14 ounces, compared to over 40 ounces for a steel barrel with the same dimensions.
Fantastic accuracy, ultra-light, and very quiet. You damn right I love this gun!
