Default Ruger 10/22 Customization

I decided to upgrade my old 10/22. So I installed a 16.5" Kidd barrel and sent off my trigger group to Brimstone to get their tier 2 trigger job done. When I got it back, I went ahead and did my first bedding job.

Finally got a chance to take it out and I couldn't be happier with it at 50 yards Hoping to try my hand at rabbit hunting in the future.

Nice gun and impressive group. How about a picture of the gun next. Try some more different ammo through it. Ain’t it great when things come together and work out. Have fun, Larry

Looking good Dogfish. This past June while I was up in NH, I picked up a new Ruger 10-22 rifle with the full length "International" Mannlicher walnut stock.

Nice rifle, but the trigger had to go, so I put one of the factory BX triggers in, and that made a considerable difference in pull quality. Right now it wears a cheap Simmons .22 scope I had laying around that is suprisingly clear and sharp.

Since PA legalized semi-auto .22's for hunting last year, this rifle will have small game in its future.

Looks nice and I especially like the stock. Never saw so many configurations that one can do with a 10/22. Yours looks tastefully done. Wish I still had mine but got stolen unfortunately. Found out it was made in 1966 according to serial no.

I have really had good luck with the Kidd products - they may be a bit more expensive, but they always have done what they promised to do in my experience.

I put the Ruger BX trigger in mine. It shoots a lot straighter than I can hold.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

For awhile I was debating between Brimstone or buying the BX trigger. I read so many good reviews about Brimstone's work that it won out. The note they sent along with the trigger group said that it was breaking at a clean 2.2 lbs, and I believe them. Money well spent in my experience.

All in all, I had a lot of fun with this little project.

As Townsend Whelen said, "only accurate rifles are interesting," and yours looks very interesting. Nice job.

I customized my 10/22. I took the extra magazine, installed a 77/22 on top of it, sold the leftover parts, and have been happy ever since. No offense to those that run a custom 10/22, they are popular and fun, just not my choice. I like my 22 to operate the same as the centerfire rifles I use. Better practice in my opinion. JMHO/YMMV

Nice looking 10/22 and a good shooter too. I installed a Feddersen 16.25" barrel on my conversion and it shoots very well . I also went with the Brimstone trigger upgrade only the Tier 1 . They do a pretty good job for the price.

Nice rig.
I have also have a Brimstone Tier Two job on mine and use a Green Mountain barrel. Love it.
