ruger 10-22 target
« on: September 27, 2006, 07:51:20 AM »
I'm looking to get another 22 target rifle. Do any of you guys have any experience with the 10-22 target rifle, the one with the twist on the outside of the barrel?

You have a choice. You can buy the Ruger 10/22 target or build your own. The Target is a good gun, but I think you can do a little better building your own. I got the cheapest 10/22 I could find (Wally World) and pulled the action. I put on a Green Mountain barrel with various trigger parts, in a Hogue stock topped with a 2x7 Weaver rimfire scope. It may be more accurate than the Target, but maybe not. I have the satisfaction of selecting and assembling the parts to my own gun.

I have a Stainless T, and it is plenty accurate for my useage and I liked the fit of the laminate stock and the looks of the barrel too, though the build-up would probably be a more accurate gun with the right parts. Even though I have a T I did a few of the standard mods VQ hammer, bolt buffer, extended mag release and a one handed bolt release.  if you can turn a screw you can modify a 10/22.

I have a couple of the "home made" 10/22 targets that both work fine.  But neither look as good as that hammered barrel and laminated stock on the factory one.  Some day I will run across one and it will come to live with me...

 ;D  I am a senior and live in rural Kansas.  I have a lot of stray cat problems and thought that the 1000fps RWS was the answer.  Darn I never had a SPRING rifle before.  I just can't get use to shooting the darn thing  >:(, so went to Cabelas and put my hands on a Ruger Target.
Home it went.  I have to have a rest to shoot anymore, but after testing with several brands of sub sonic I ended up with federal and that darn rifle will put 10 in a quarter size circle at 40 yards  ;D  I was told that you could buy this barrel and that trigger assembly and finally end up with a shooting gun.  WELL RUGER MADE IT EASY for me,  I am a every HAPPY old man and they did a damn good job for me!!!!!!

    Like Tom C. I have built one off of the carbine. I have added a left hand laminated stock with a rollover cheek peice.  Just adding a Volquartsen Hammer drops the trigger pull to 2 to 3 pounds not like the factory 6 to 8. and even with a Green Mt.920  barrel it still comes out cheaper than to buy the factory T model. Yes you also get the satisfaction of doing it yourself. It's your call, good luck....Jim
