Photos My Ultimate 10/22

[salmonaxe]

Plain Ruger 10/22 receiver and bolt. (just polished a bit.)
Volquartsen EDM extractor and spring.
Volquartsen Buffer.
Rimfire tech adjustable V-Block and V-Block screws.
Rimfire tech action screw.
EGW 20MOA base. (Not all that great.)
McMillan STC stock.
High Desert Dog Tactical barrel. 16" Straight fluted .920" Stainless threaded 1/2"x28.
Kidd Trigger group. (SICK TRIGGER!)
Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 in Badger Max 50 rings. (Oh yeah I borrowed this from my 260 which needs proper bedding. LOL)

Bed the action block and about 2" of the bbl. Not sure if this helped since I've yet to shoot it for accuracy. (I keep forgetting my mags when I go to the range!) One thing, I never can get Devcon to compress right. Every time I've tried bedding with the stuff the action ends up sitting higher in the stock and I get bubbles. I ended up fixing this one with JB. Never had that issue when I used plain old JB Weld. Maybe because I'm using Devcon Putty instead of Liquid? Anyway, now that it's bed, the whole thing is super rigid feeling. (God I hate bedding, shit is still a mystery to me. All the walkthrough's seem to be missing some key component.)

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

This is one of the nicest 10/22 setups I've seen. Very nice.

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

I may have missed it, but I dont think you mentioned what barrel you used on this build. I also have the same Rimfire Tech components listed, including their automatic bolt release and mag release. (You have got to try their mag release... Its reversed so it pulls like a trigger) I think this thing looks sharp... I'll post some more pics of mine soon.

Great looking rifle.. To each his own. Some people would question why you have a 10/22 like that... People ask me all the time, but I shoot more out of that rifle than any other.

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

Looks very nice. I would guess it's a tack driver. Really like those stocks. My 10/22 borrows scopes from my other rifles on occasion as well.

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

Oh yeah I totally forgot about the barrel. It's a High Desert Dog Tactical barrel. 16" Straight fluted .920" Stainless threaded 1/2"x28.
https://www.hi-desertdog.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=146

Suppressor is a SWR Spectre.

Before I bed it and when it was wearing a Bushnell Elite 4200, I shot a wide variety of ammo and of course the same ammo my previous 10/22 like shot the best. Wolf Match Target/ SK Standard Plus. When I did my part I was holding 10 shot groups at 50yds just under 1/2" When shooting at 100yds I held the 10ring pretty consistently. Scored my target out of 50 shots I got 484/500. (I dug up the targets for this post.) I only started really holding for wind about halfway through. I thought that was okay-ish until I looked at those rimfire competition targets people posted.

I'm not even sure if when I shot this target if it had the Kidd trigger. I think after I got the Kidd trigger all I had done was some offhand at an indoor range. The past few times I brought it with me to shoot, I forgot the darn mags. Pretty frustrating.

I have yet to really wring this thing out. I should just buy 5k of SK or Wolf and go shoot it every weekend for the next few months.

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

No problem with the scope, just wished I had that much money.

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

OK, here is my set up.. I think I posted a few in the rimfire section awhile ago.

Niiiiiice. It's like staring at boobs. Only vertically.

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

That's pretty cool, Mkcoastie. Still, the Kidd trigger is light years better than any other trigger and offers the auto bolt release standard and a very cool extended magazine release.(Similar to the TacSol release, but even more well integrated.) Perfect for an offhand anschutz type hold. (Big stuffs sticking out doesn't feel good in the palm of your hand.)

Back when I had the original ruger trigger pack and power custom parts, I ran the tacsol release and did the auto bolt mod myself. Here's an image I did a while back to illustrate how the mod should look.

If you want a fairly nice set of trigger components, Power custom is good for the price. Of course they're just modified standard ruger components. I shot great groups with that old trigger, a Clerk bbl and a hogue stock. Just couldn't put much pressure on the hogue or it would shoot like crap. (Pretty sure it would touch the bbl and mess up the harmonics or cause deflection.)

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

Thanks for compliments. I really like the look of that barrel / suppressor. The stainless/black flutes look really sharp. I plan on getting the trigger group and receiver replaced eventually and once that happens it will be a completely new rifle. I'll just put the original 10/22 carbine back together. They are fun guns for sure. Ive found that the standard velocity target ammo shoots best out of it. Once I settle on a particular brand and type I'll get the scope zeroed in better. My point of impact is off by almost as much as 4 or 5 inches at 100yds just by changing ammo so I want to find what shoots the best and then stick with that.

Thats a great looking rifle

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

Very sweet rimfire. I have almost the exact same setup minus the awesome NF scope.

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

best looking I've seen to date--post groups with this bbl when
you can--interested in a 2nd 10-22 as it does get shot more than
anything else

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

dude, that looks awesome (and expensive)

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

Good God! I've never seen so much love put into a 10/22. Just shows how anyone can turn their hobby into something that everyone can appreciate! I'm sure the squirrels don't come within a mile of your place. Nice work!

 

[High Binder]

Re: My Ultimate 10/22

Very nice. Hope it shoots better than my 10/22 that shoots patterns like a shotgun.
