Just pulling out some odd guns and here I find a Ruger 10-22 Carbine I didn't remember I had. Looking to maybe do a couple "upgrades" for mainly just gopher shooting etc. Ordered a Ruger BX drop in trigger assembly already. What other upgrades are recommended without breaking the bank so to speak? Suggestions welcome.
Just install the trigger and give it a try, if you aren't happy with the grouping results then try removing the barrel band, it may be binding causing accuracy issues. After that it becomes just how much money you want to throw at a gopher shooting gun. For just shooting gophers I have found the basic 10/22 adequate enough, it won't win any benchrest matches but it is hard on gophers.
I take 10/22's for what they are - an inexpensive reasonably accurate and fun thing to shoot, they can turn into a real money pit though if one gets carried away.
