I freaking love the 10-22..!
such a affordable gun but so much fun!
Clips?
Which seems to imply that all that fancy stuff might be overrated just a bit, and something else not rated high enough.
Just sayin'. :)
But according to the definition of the left the 10/22 is an assault rifle.
If you don’t already have Ruger 10/22, get one.
The age old question: Ruger 10/22 carbine or the Marlin 60.
In pure numbers it’s 5.7 million sold vs 11 million (Marlin). I have both, actually. The Marlin has its great points as does the Ruger 10/22. I’ve really tricked out my 10/22 and I like the large magazines Ruger makes for them.
On the Marlin, I’ve only added a specially mounted sling. I like the tube giving the Marlin a traditional rifle slim feel....
At this point, I like both of them pretty much the same. Tough question that’s hard to answer for every case.
Pretty expensive re-deux, why not buy a Magnum Research for $700?
I got my twin boys each a Ruger 10-22 compact rifle, 50th anniversary edition, and swapped out the stock for an Axiom tactical stock, added a basic red-dot, changed the trigger pull from nearly 7 pounds to about 2 pounds with new Volquartsen trigger assembly, and extended the bolt handle by 1/2 inch, also Volquartsen. End result is a light-weight, fun rifle for 8 year old that is accurate and will last them many years. Taking them to rimfire competition, they score 1st to 3rd in the junior categories. And 22LR, now around 7 cents each, we can shoot as much as we want without breaking the bank.
Has anyone tried the new Ruger BX trigger upgrade?
No matter what - no matter how much you spend - in the end it’s still a .22.
They get you just like printers. Sell you an inexpensive gun and kill you on the price of cartridges.
I’ll be honest, the 10/22 is not the most accurate rifle ever made. It leaves much to be desired in that department, though it’s generally still good enough for squirrel and rabbit at short range...which is what it was designed for to begin with.
With that said, it’s very easy to tune these little rifles up. Even an inexpensive replacement barrel can shrink groups to a level you would expect for a decent quality semi auto 22lr.
My wife gave me a stainless 10-22 International. Mannlicher stock.
Stuck a scope on it. Have yet to shoot it though.
Love that stock
