I'm gonna need a little more 'me' time with it before I start pimping it out. LOL
My "Ruger" 10/22 Takedown.
The only thing that's still Ruger is the receiver. Pretty satisfied with the accuracy, given it's a takedown. It likes Eley ammo.

Got it back from the Cerakote shop Friday afternoon. Just have to re zero as I changed rings as well. Went Warne Medium. Drop the scope a little MOE and should add a couple Mil to the reticle. Make that 400 yard on dial
Instead of dial full and hold more.
I started with a Ruger American Rimfire for an iron-sighted target rifle project. It's not like my Anschutz 64 MPR but still a lot of fun. I might try this out in an Appleseed event if I get a chance.
I got to stop building up rifles!

Is that the PDC Custom G5C? If so, would a 20 inch barrel clear the forearm?

Yes, bought a blank and had a Eodave's gun smith put it together (same as he did with his T1X)
Mounted a new scope to my 10/22 and got it sighted in.
I did a make-over of the club's Ruger American Rimfire rifles. These are used for the Junior shooting program at the club.
The parts for the build are the Boyd's AT-One stock, Glades Armory extended bolt and the Tech-Sights.

For me, I like making things that takes an original design and improving upon it. The bonus is that along the way, I learn a great deal about the rifle and feel confident in customizing and/or repairing it for myself or friends and family. Lastly (and most importantly), it served as a means to spend time together and enjoy the results of our research and labor with my kids at the range.
I suppose it’s the same reason why people take a Honda Civic and swap in a LS engine.
Variety being the spice of life and all...
YMMV, happy shooting
Speaking for myself here,
I live in California. The 'assault weapons' laws as written here in California prohibit 'features' on centerfile rifles - collapsing/folding stocks, pistol grip, removable magazines, etc - but none of these rules apply to rimfire rifles. It's their way of banning AR and AK platforms without actually banning them.
So the only way to build a legal semi-auto with 'features' is to go rimfire, and the 10/22 platform lends itself to that role well.
Long story short, because I can't build a real AR here.
I would think people want to shoot fast and shoot accurate.
Trevalor, I like a custom 10/22 because it's faster for timed events vs a bolt gun and almost as accurate.
Like bolt guns too but the semi-auto is more fun to shoot for me.

Beautifully done sir. Nothing half-assed on that build.

What optics do you have planned for it?
Beautiful rifle! I have been a Steyr rifle fan for decades, something about those butterknife bolt handles...
Steyr Zephyr II with a 30mm Leupold VX3i 4.5-14x40 (177820) in low Talley Rings.
Basically done with my Salvage upgrades. Just waiting on bubble level and butler creek caps, may grab a magpul bipod as well.
It's always the most difficult decision for me but, the two I'm seriously considering are Bushnell Forge 4-27x50 and Meopta Optika6, also 4-27x50.

Savage B-22 FV w-Bushnell Engage Deploy MOA 6-18x50. Good for 0.50" off a bag when I'm patient, using Federal Champion SV . CCI-SV or SK+ does a bit better but more than twice the price of the Fed.
Marlin 60 2014 Mayfield w-Tasco 4-16x50 SF. Almost as good as the B-22 with good ammo, 0.50-0.75. 'Most' Arrowdodger mods done- Not Kat.
2014 Savage 64 w-Marcool 6-24x50 SF. Reflex removed after pic, not practical. 0.75-1.0" w- 'good ammo' ;-P

I took the Tech-Sights off of the Ruger American Rimfire. For some reason, I cannot make out the front sight like I can on my M-1Garand the Anschutz 64 MPR or my air rifle. So I gave up on iron sights for the RAR because there are not any other options out there unless one can find the Williams front sight base for the aperture sight.
Midway had a sale on the Viper PST 2-10X scope and I had an extra set of dovetail 30 MM rings in the parts box.
I shot it yesterday with the cheap Federal Auto Match ammunition. The groups were nothing to brag about at about 1.5-2 inches. That's typical for this type of ammo when temperatures get down to freezing. Anyway, I think this rifle has potential.
In case anyone has missed it the ingredients for this build are:
-Ruger American Rimfire
-Boyd's Rimfire Hunter Stock with Stippling
-Timney Trigger 1.5#
-Glades Armory extended bolt handle with oversized tactical bolt knob
-UTG Rings
-Vortex Viper PST Gen II 2-10X scope
-Brownells Competitor Plus sling
