Any one like the ruger 10/22's?What do you use them for?target, hunting, etc.

I love them. They'll shoot and shoot without jamming. An Ebay seller once had a gattling crank that could be clamped onto the trigger gaurd and two opposing roller bearings would roll against the trigger as fast as you could crank it. There is also a neat affair available but costly, that utilizes the actions of two 10-22's and with additional hardware will create a side by side gattling gun. This must be one hell of a fun gun with it on a tripod. I only target shoot with mine :cry: since semi's are illegal here in Pennsylvania which is one law I never completely understood. The 10-22 is without a doubt, THE most popular and affordably accurate, semi-automatic 22 rimfire in the world. I have a Deluxe and a laminate and love them both.

Yea, I LOVE MINE 2!!!!

I could shoot it all day if i could afford it (shells). Its like a little kid eating cottan candy. Just eats and eats and eats. Yea i seen that crank in a cabelas catalog the looked kool. I want to start customizing mine here soon. Im saving right now. What are your sugestions on the target barrels?I havent really found any under $150 or so. Also i'd have to get a new stock??

Hunting, plinking, target work, etc. There is a very good reason they are so popular - they do the job, RELIABLY. Tons of after market parts to make one even better. Lawdog

With a good scope it is an excellent squirrel rifle.

ronbow · « **Reply #5 on:** April 05, 2005, 07:25:37 AM »

Had mine for about ten years and about 5,000 rounds. Still accurate with open sights. Great rifle - never had a problem.

I'm up to 3---maybe 4 now---have to go look in the safe sometime.

I own other .22's------but for a semi-auto-----there's none better.

Yea foreal.....I got mine for easter one year. Im still working on it though. I have the ruger k10/22rpf model. Accept i replaced mine with a walnut stock. I was in the 4-h group here. And at the competition everyone had them. Because there cheap, accurate, and reliable.

Is there any better .22 plinker? Have 2 now, with #3 and #4 on the way. (one to be converted to .17M2) A seemingly endless amount of things you can do to them. Just check out www.rimfirecentral.com.

I have one that is customized with a Shilen match barrel , Fajen stock and some hammer stoning. I shot my best 50 yard group ever using this 10/22.

Have another on lay away right now - a 10/22 Deluxe Sporter. The walnut stocked 10/22s look great and I wanted to get one just in case Ruger decides to discontinue them. This one will be my stock 10/22 with the exception of some trigger work.

nickt243 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 14, 2005, 05:05:36 PM »

I love 10/22s i have about 600 dollars in mine with a new trigger system and scope new stock and heavy barrel.

I use mine for hunting, target shooting, etc

kudzu · « **Reply #11 on:** April 17, 2005, 10:49:15 AM »

Just bought a 10/22 carbine and love it -shoots very accurate. About a week later I found a 10/22 in a wood stock with a 22'' stainless barrrel. Now have two. Gave the first to my 12yr. old daugther. she loves shooting too.

Could not find this gun in cat. or on ruger web. I figure it's a special run rifle.

Chris · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2005, 02:32:52 PM »

First gun I ever owned...still got it after 30+ years. Seems like I've run a million rounds through it. Can't stand the thing...don't know why I've had it this long nor why anyone would want one...blah! :x

If anyone feels the same way...send your 10/22 to me. I'll take it off your hands so you can free-up more space in your gun cabinet. Always ready to help a fellow sportsman! :lol:

Sounds like your 22 in stainless is a walmart special I think ruger makes them for walmart only, Check some time the wally words here carry them in stock.
I have a midway bull barrel & a hough stock with a trigger group does just fine on small game to paper :grin:

kudzu · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2005, 02:04:48 PM »

one hole - thats where she came from. Just out of the box at 50 yrds it will shoot dine size groups with a flyer evry now and then. Believe I will leave her stock.

ps- I do like the stock on this one better than the 10/22 carbine

jerry4570 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2005, 05:56:12 PM »

I got my stainless/walnut a few months ago in a trade and havent used it much, too busy to shoot or hunt but am planning to go squirrel hunting next month after mounting a good 4x. I'd like some high caps while everyone in washington is being good. I've heard some of them are junk, which high caps are worth the money?

You know the only time I ever had a problem with any of my 10/22's is when I got away from factory magazines. I haven't found any that I could recommend. Just my :money: . Lawdog

jerry4570 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 25, 2005, 07:52:29 AM »

thanks lawdog, I'll wait for a quality high cap. to take this another direction, I saw a 5 rd. ruger made mag at cheaperthandirt.com that is described as all metal in construction, the body is blue metal and the feed area is stainless. this looks like a good hunting mag, anybody have these? also can anyone direct me to online directions to dis, and re-assemble factory mags? I had one sticking and took it apart and reassembled it but dont know if I did it correctly, seems to be working but was wondering if there was a correct number of windings of the spring.

Old Griz · « **Reply #19 on:** April 29, 2005, 09:38:17 AM »

:cb2: Best .22 semi since the Remington Nylon 66. Ruger has probably sold more of these since the 60s than any other .22 on the market. Got mine when I was 14. It was stolen. 35 years later I finally got another. Stock, it's the best plinker in the world. The only people who don't like them own stock in Marlin, Remington, etc.

Now my 22/77 Varmint is pretty darn good, too!

I bought my Ruger 10/22 (serial # 9xx, one of the first thousand made) when they first came out for, I believe, $54.95.

I got the rifle specifically for squirrel hunting and plunking... and I've never been sorry I bought it, nor have I ever been disappointed in it's flawless performance through all the decades I've used it.

There's not a lot of personal possessions a person has about which he can honestly say that... but, in general, I think the Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic rifle in one of 'em.

Strength & Honor...

I walked into the store and bought a new 10/22 and a Weaver 4 power rifle scope, base and rings. Probably spent a little over for all of it. This was in the early '70's. As my buddy drove I mounted the scope, when we pulled up to our squirrel hunting place I was ready, did a quick sight in and left a few hours later with a limit of squirrels, and a rifle I will keep till I die. Still set up the way it was that day and still shoots as good.

dave_w · « **Reply #22 on:** June 20, 2005, 08:46:51 PM »

I just purchased my first gun, a Ruger Model 10/22-TAL. I'm in love with it.

I'm a pistol shooter by birth (my dad was a cop for 30 years, and when I was 12, he taught me to shoot everything from a .22 S&W revolver to a .45 Glock). I lived in New Jersey, so I was legal to shoot them but not own myself (I'm only 19), and I competed in a few pistol leagues, doing rather well for myself.

But now that I live in NY, I can't even pick up a handgun, let alone shoot or own one. But I can buy an AR-15 after a three-minute N.I.C.S. check (which makes so little sense...). Instead of a pricey AR that shoots pricey .223/5.56, I picked up the TAL, and I love the damn thing. I just comepted in my first rifle league match, and I scored a 298. Second place was a 265. We were shooting at 150 yards, and those guys were using big-bores and .223s and every other cartridge under the sun.

Granted, though, the first rifle I shot, a Ruger Mini-14, I picked up and proceeded to drill three 10xs and two 10s at 100 yards on a standard 100-yd target with just the iron sights, but...

I HATE EM! I now have 5, and I'm building a sixth (my 2nd 22mag ver). They use up all my time and money especially on ebay! Get the GM barrels they make these lil 22s tack drivers for cheap.

mag shooter · « **Reply #24 on:** September 11, 2005, 03:42:22 PM »

I've had several through the years, down to two now . stock carbine lr. and a 22 mag. Hunt with the mag and play with the lr. As far as I'm concerned , nothing comes close.. :grin:

koli · « **Reply #25 on:** September 12, 2005, 04:32:41 PM »

I love mine, a deluxe model, (store did not have regular carbine in stock). Got it to replace a Marlin model 60 which I also really liked but did not like the tube feed for hunting in NY State. Now live in PA and can only use it for target shooting and plinking.

Greetings!

Nahhh.... I can't stand the damned things. No matter how many of them I sell, I always seem to find another one that I just can't resist buying!

Actually, I've owned 3 so far... gave one away to a close friend and sold the other two... I've got my eye on a new one though... probably after I buy my next centerfire I'll go pick it up!

Great rifles... reliable and reasonably accurate for a semi-auto. Not much NOT to like... not the nicest guns to look at, but they sure shoot fine and just keep on working! The Ruger 10-22 was the first rifle I ever owned, by the way... so they have a certain nostalgic appeal for me personally.

Best wishes,
Bawko

I bought one last spring off the used rack. It has a nice walnut stock, 16.5" barrel, and had a trigger job. I put a 1.75x4 Bushnell Trophy scope on it for squirrel hunting. It is quite accurate.

dicaela · « **Reply #28 on:** September 20, 2005, 11:50:39 AM »

Their great guns, I love mine. I have had good luck with the Butler Creek hot lips mags. No jams, and the loader fills em up pretty quickly.

His lordship. · « **Reply #29 on:** September 24, 2005, 10:05:51 AM »

I saw a color ad that stated they are changing this classic gun, it is supposed to have a longer wooden stock, has anyone seen this, and are they different in other ways too?

Thanks.
