Thinking I'll have to get one of those, even though I've a bunch of 10/22's already. Always room for another. Interested in seeing how they designed the takedown feature.

MIVHNTR,
"I'm going to see if it's possible to get the butt pad off of the Ruger and set it up for storage just like I did to my Marlin."
Can you post a picture of how you did your Papoose's pad?
Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry, I'll get a picture or two up for you tomorrow. Here's what I did. I removed the factory screws and used an awl to pry the butt plate off of the Marlin. It was an extremely tight fit, BTW. Then I sanded the plate down enough to allow an easy remove/install into the stock.
I drilled out the screw holes in the butt plate and then tapped the stock for machine screws. I used stainless nuts/machine screws to hold the butt plate on the stock. The nuts are threaded all the way on to the screw head and are used to allow me to grip the screw and remove it by hand. The stock is hollow and contains a folded sheet of foam to deaden sound. Now you can add whatever you want to the hollow stock and have easy access to it.

I picked up my 10/22TD this afternoon and quickly topped it with an older Leupold M8 4X compact. One thing I've noticed is that the scope is too long and now the stock/receiver portion won't fit in the carry case anymore. Therefore, scope options with this gun will be limited.

I also bought a Nikon P22 scope to put on mine in QD rings.

I'm thinking about an aperture sight for mine, or a 2.5x Leupold.

I thought I might try a P22. I got into it right and it is a 2 - 7 power scope. Fairly compact.

I'm thinking about an aperture sight for mine, or a 2.5x Leupold. This is my plan for the 10/22TD I've got coming. Lightest scope around, or an aperture sight. Perhaps a reddot, but more likely a set of XS sights if I don't go with a Leupold.

I forgot I had a Weaver 2.5x that I took of another 10/22 a few years ago (new Weaver, not old steel version), it's on there now.
Still think I'll order some XS for it though.

I need to find a set of QD rings.....just need to decide on the flavor. Might have a pard mill the center out of that Ruger supplied mount to so I can use the sights with the base on it.

I just got one today. This is a sweet setup. I'm thinking a compact red dot sight will be the ticket for fitting it into the pack without adding any length.
Can't wait to shoot it!

Local small shop that primarily deals in Rugers, has gotten four in so far. Owner says they're still fairly hard to come by here, or he'd have probably sold twice that many?
He likes them and hardly anything new ever suits him.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Great write up rjm. I haven't had the time to do anything more than assemble mine yet, let alone shoot it. I am waiting on a set of QD rings for it also. You mentioned adjusting the TD mechanism. What exactly did you need to do. Mine may have been set by the shop I bought it from as it locks up tight.
