Re: ok ordered new Ruger 10/22!!!

I have been avoiding the 12/22. I will not even look at one.

I am afraid I do not have the self control and I would go wild building it up...... stock, barrel, Volquartsen parts....... I doubt I would be able to stop. I just see a 10/22 as too much temptation for me!! Maybe in the future

Good luck with it................. I am jealous!

10/22 is probably the best .22 not designed by John Browning ever.

I have a great weakness for Winchester 1896, 1906 and 62, and for my treasured Belgian Browning .22 auto.

Well, of course I am old fashioned. I have a license to be. I also never use a scope.

My Dad Gave me my 10/22 just about 40 years ago for Christmas, it is the best gun I have owned or currently own, I bet that gun has had about 100k rounds though it, it still sits by my front door waiting for rabbit duty..hmm, hmm good

no 10/22 here.
I picked up a 77/22 22LR about 25 years ago, love it.


Now I wish it was a 22 Hornet. Maybe its time to go shopping.

I have about $600 into my customized 10/22. Boyds Walnut Blaster T-Hole stock, Houge 20" fluted barrel, Power custom trigger kit, Barska 8x32x50AO mil-dot scope and a Black widow bolt buffer.

LOL I knew someone here would be "involved"....... I guess I will not mention my custom weapons (all with a purpose ) pistols, rifles and shotguns.

Nice buy. You won't be disappointed. I was not aware that Ruger offered different size stocks. Good to know for the future. Mine came with the basic birch wood stock. I recently upgraded to a Hogue overmolded synthetic stock. I haven't put them side to side, but the Hogue seems to have a slightly longer "length of pull" and a meatier fore end.

That's the beauty of the 10/22...if you don't like something or a part doesn't fit you, there's bound to be an aftermarket replacement part that suits you.

You'll shoot your eye out with that. :facepalm:.

Re: ok ordered new Ruger 10/22!!!

Let me preface this with I am not recommending it, that said, the Ruger can really be fun with a few little modifications that ramps up the rate of fire! Of course unless you are a FFL holder, which I am, it is illegal, but it sure is fun!

Re: ok ordered new Ruger 10/22!!!

Ironically me and my next door neighbor were talking about this today, it might be time to upgrade the Ruger!

Re: ok ordered new Ruger 10/22!!!

You will really like the 10/22 ezbtr. I have one in stainless steel, and it is a tack driver. Some after market clips can be a real piece of junk, but the rifle itself is superb.
If you like 22 pistols, a Ruger Mark 2 in target version shoots as good as a rifle for me. But as far as my favorite 22, I would have to agree with JB that the Winchester 1906 is still my choice. I inherited my Grandpa's 1906 that he purchaced from Mongomery Ward catalog for $17.00 new.

Re: ok ordered new Ruger 10/22!!!

I inheritated my 10/.22 from my Grandfather. Great gun!

This thread needs pix.

WARNING: For those that will not even look at one, exit thread now!

10/22 is pretty basic. Synthetic stock, stainless barrel.
Someone mentioned a Mark II. Here's the competition model, w/ competition wood grips, that I bought for the wife as a house warming gift! Put the scope on for her. Not too crazy about it. Added alot of weight. May take it off or put a smaller one on...... The Mark II's replaced the High Standards.

Re: ok ordered new Ruger 10/22!!!

Keep your eyes closed!!

Looks like we need to get together WIMUSKY and do some practice.
I am not too crazy about my scopes either, but they work for now.

Correction: The Winchester 1906 is really a 1890 octagon barrel in 22WRF. I keep getting them mixed up.:facepalm:

Re: ok ordered new Ruger 10/22!!!

Very cool, Cofe! Looks like we have the same taste in guns. Did someone mention 1890 Winny??
