The wood stock is so much better than the plastic. I have the same scope too, I love it.

This seems like as good of a place as any for a first post.
Ruger 10/22
GM 17.5 my barrel
Boyd’s blaster
No name bipod
Action and trigger work and everything else done by me.
I built it about 10 years ago.
It shoots ok.
It’ll be my sons once my b14 shows up in a week or so.

1954 US Army Remington 513-T, fitted with a modern Nikon Prostaff 4-12 Rimfire.

Group tests on hold while getting the extraction issue fixed.
More testing soon but on a sample of 10 shots, it seemed to help at 2.5" from the muzzle.
YMMV, happy shooting

I hung it from a hand scale and it read 9.16 pounds. Put a fully loaded 10-round magazine in it and it might weigh right at 9.2 pounds.
The Ruger spec sheet for this rifle right out of the box says 6 pounds. If I have to worry about carrying around an extra three pounds then I need to turn in my man-card.
Besides the plastic factory stocks sucks. I've done makeovers for four RARs and all of the stocks were causing feeding problems from the magazines.
The Boyd's stocks fixed that problem. On the other hand, if you get a Boyd's you might find that the magazine doesn't drop as easily.
That's because of the "fuzz" on the wood laminate inside of the magazine well. A little light scraping with a pen knife takes care of that. I must emphasize a VERY LIGHT scraping. Or you could just use the rifle and let the fuzz wear out with inserting and removing the magazine with normal use.
Here are the other Boyd's stocks that I've put to good use. The top two are RARs and the last one is a Savage B-22. The Savage plastic stock was just as bad as the Ruger.
How’s itsRe: show some pics of your rimfire sticks!!
Here is my Sako quad with di-products picatinny rail and straight grooves bolt handle. Leupold qrw rings and a Nikon Monarch III 5-20x44SF with BDC-recticle. I've got all four barrels: 22lr, 22wm, 17mach2 and the superb 17hmr.

How’s the accuracy?
Flint62A1 I love the scope! I have 3 of the them; on my 10/22, T1x, and .17 hmr. Parallax will go down to 10 yds. Price is great, especially if you are current or prior military or LEO.
Radman I purchased the barrel before I went down the rimfire "rabbit hole" and am very happy with it.

The take-down (aka “TD”) receiver and barrel is by Tactical Solutions (aka “TacSol” or “TS”). For the trigger groups, I went with the Kidd 2.5 LB single stage with extended mag release. The simple elegance of the Magpul X-22 stock pulls this 3 LB 5 OZ creation together nicely. The only Ruger part in the complete mix is the magazine! The TS SBX take-down barrel has a built in suppressor shroud that gives you an overall barrel length of 16+”.
I built one a couple years ago. One of my favorite rifles yet I never shoot it.
I finally got tired of waiting on a decent lefty rifle to be available for my son here in the US so I just built one. I bought a lefty Tikka T1x in 17hmr and used the action, trigger and bolt. Everything else was changed. The chassis is a XLR Element that I did a custom cerakote job on. The barrel is the 22lr barrel from a T1x I rebarreled. I just flipped the barrel so the extractor slot was on the left side and ground a new feed ramp. I swapped out the trigger spring, added an Anarchy Outdoors bolt handle, knob and 30 moa scope rail then topped to off with a Tract Toric 4-20x50. I also sprayed the barrel and action with FDE cerakote. The Arca rail and bag rider are the G10 rails I make. I also fitted the Arca rail with an aluminum barricade stop. We will be off to the range Friday to see if the barrel shoots as good on this action as it did on the original.
A low numbered Springfield, it had served as a parade piece and years of firing blanks with no maintenance left the barrel wrecked. A buddy had one of the old sarco conversion kits, a chamber insert amd barrel that fit 03’s. We took it to a machinist who made the insert. It was soldered to a liner that was epoxied into the barrel. I found a rimfire bolt on ebay, and we were off to the range. Shoots really well, but the first few times you pull the trigger you’re expecting the recoil of an 03 but all you get is a little snick. Awesome fun to shoot, next year it’s going in the squirrel woods with me.
Damit!!! Now I want Ruger Take-Down.

Now I know my next purchase. That’s just cool in how old it looks. Vintage guns are starting to become an obsession for me
It is 1904 vintage according to the serial #, my grandfather's first rifle when he was a child. Gave it to me when I was 10. It is a 22 short and still functions great!!
I noticed that you have both the SIG rangefinder and the Kestrel. I have the SIG rangefinder as well but was debating on whether or not to get a Kestrel.
What do you see as the benefit of having both?
BTW, nice rifle!!!
I pair it with my rangefinder and get data on the screen through the rangefinder. You can also put your Kestrel on a tripod with a windvane and get live wind data also.
B14R. Thinking of chopping it back to 16"
I just got this in earlier this week, today was my first time shooting it.
I fucking LOVE this rifle...............No group pics because the weather sucked but let's just say it really likes Norma TAC-22 and Gold Medal Target.
