Single best thing.to improve the stock 10/22 is a trigger.I’m fixing to go down this 10/22 rabbit hole. Got a KRG Bravo on pre-order. Intend to do a Kidd bull barrel, trigger upgrades etc. But I have this question. Why in the world do we do this?Take a $200 rifle and replace virtually everything on it. Have a crap load of money spent and still just have a 22 auto.
I think the answer is probably “Cause we can”
Current configuration. Input appreciated.View attachment 7442517
This is where you can spend a lot of money but don't necessarily need to unless you need bragging rights
The last time I counted I have over ten of these rifles.
Back to triggers, it's all about choice and what works for you.
I have Brimstone triggers in all of mine,some bolt work/parts and just enjoy the gun(s).
You should check out Rimfiresports.com for your parts, he's a small shop,usually has what you need in stock and shipping is always free.
Most of all just do the basics coupled with Some elbow grease and ENJOY the gun.
It's a fun gun right out of the box.
A few years ago I installed the Volquartsen target hammer on mine. Best $35 I spent on the gun. Only thing I kicked myself for, and recently fixed, is getting an auto bolt release (why Ruger hasn't made this standard yet baffles me) and an extended mag release when I also upgraded the trigger.

On mine the only ruger parts are the trigger which has been modified.
Kidd trigger or send the factory trigger to brimstone, http://brimstonegunsmithing.com/ruger-10-22/ Does the Bravo have a second anchor point? The titan stock my be something to consider too. I have both Green Mountain and feddersen barrels on builds, they both shoot well.
Thanks for the input gents. Yeah just gonna be a plinker but bragging rights would be nice too 
I’ll do the scotch brite thing on the bolt. Here’s what Snyder has on the Bravo https://snyderprecision.com/krg-10-22-bravo-preorder/
Funny story about me being a senile old fart. Couple weekends ago I mounted the scope and bore sighted it. Put it back in the case, ready to go to the range. Last weekend I go to the range. Had some problems with erratic hits. Blamed it on the cheap Thunderbolt ammo. Come home, disassemble and start cleaning. Noticed the scope has slid all the way back in the rings. Ring and base screws totally loose.

Ruger action, bolt and spring. BX trigger, Kidd barrel, auto bolt release in a Victor Co. Titan stock with rear anchor, with a Henderson Arca rail. Topped with an Athlon 6x24x50 Midas TAC in a Zero Delta single mount and a 40 MOA EGW rail.... Leaves me with 20 mils of elevation.
So far I'm not saving any money on Boollets LOL

Stock receivers don't have a second hold down, the titan indexes with the trigger guard. On my wooden stocks I added a brass screw to the stock that indexes the cleaning hole on the back of the receiver.
Some shooters drill a hole in the back of the 10/22 reciever so a cleaning rod can be inserted and a patch or brush run through the barrel from the breach end.
Well my trigger group is off to Brimstone. Gonna do Tier 2 and mag release . And so it begins
You are going to like the mag release. Just pull back a little and the mag drops right out. Far superior to factory.
Does anyone know how these compare to Kidd? I have never tried any Kidd products.
I did something like in the link below, I used a brass screw that I could file to index it in a similar stock as in the original post for the rifles I built my nephews, no rocking whatsoever, https://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=498938
Hey thanks for the link, I'd had a pretty good look at RC but hadn't tripped over that thread . . . I like the tapered "socket" approach!
