Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires 10/22 trigger question

When the weather gets better, you need to stretch that rifle's legs out to at least 50 yards. That's where we shoot ours during our rimfire shoots...

I've always thought it made good sense to treat the entire rear surface of the receiver as the recoil lug---it's all ya got. I've bedded one 10-22 this way. The result was a pretty snug fit and it took a little more effort to get the barreled action into and out of the stock, but worth the trouble IMO.

It does well at longer ranges, just had those targets from the 50' indoor range.

Subsonics don't hold up like high speed ammo. They'll do OK to about 50 yds. or so, beyond that, not too impressive.

My hunting bud really likes 38 gr. Fed. Game-Shok .22 LR ammo. I've seen him bust stuff at a hundred yds.; he's a good shot.

I got some of those recently, they're hard to find. May try them in the suppressed gun. I know they'll crack the sound barrier, but will still be quieter than non suppressed guns.

I've determined there really isn't a wrong way to bed a 10/22.

That's a nice rifle you have DF.

10-22s are just fun guns

I decided to take two triggers to Dick Williams gunsmith in Saginaw MI
Lysle said he would clean them up and I asked if he with smooth out the bolt catch make that easier
I expect they will be good when I get them back

Did a Power Custom trigger kit on my 10/22 a while back. Took about 20 minutes, nice 2 3/4 pound trigger with no creep. The BX would be a lot easier, I just don't like the new mag release. The rifle had a much cleaner look with the old flush one.

I bought a Volquartsen hammer when they first came out. With it and some fooling with the springs I have a 1 3/4 LB trigger with a tiny bit of creep. I also tapped an over-travel screw into the trigger guard -- this helps a lot.

Finally, I installed a VQ Carbon Fiber barrel (16") and a Hogue over-molded stock. Also an over-sized safety button and a plastic buffer.

This particular 10-22 is used for shooting Richardson's Ground Squirrels out of a pick-up. It's short, light and handy. Groups very well; even with HV hollow points.

I told a non-gunny friend about Brimstone and he had a trigger done there. He was pleased. I think he got the mid-priced work done.
