Top one was close to a half inch at 50 yds w Blazer, had a Volq hammer swapped in.
Bottom one did over an inch at 25 yds w same ammo.
Barrel band was super tight, so I sanded the contact area of the bbl down a bit. Is close to half inch at 25 now, w Volq hammer.
May need just a little bit more sanding.
Overton stock, hollow under mostof the bbl channel..........just contacts a couple inches at tip of stock.
Poor thing was not inlet correctly all those yrs ago LOL.

As for semi auto bias..............I have none. Some rigs shoot well and their owners can put mult good shots on target fast.

Some people shoot like chit no matter what gun they have.

.22 lr and groundhogs............fast followups are nice to have.

The 10/22................like the flush fit magazine.............carry my gun with hand placed right there.

Thought about a DSP stock and GM bbl 19" to upgrade the standard.

Two good looking 10-22s. Ruger used to put some good walnut on the 10-22s. I've got 79 DSP with a walnut stock that I bought at a gunshow for $110 a long time ago primarily for the stock.

Are the factory iron sights useable with the scope base on the receiver of the carbine or does it block them?

I had a 2-7X Leupold on the bottom one, and moved that to a Sav/Anschutz 184.
Somebody was asking about 10/22s on another forum, so snapped a pic after scope removal (didn't run it that way LOL).
IIRC the sights are usable, but barely, w base on.
The 2.5-8X now sits atop the standard. The FG went to a new home.
The Anschutz got a new 4X rf Leupold.............and the 2-7X is sitting on my kitchen island.

Awaiting a rem 7600 carbine or similar wink

I had a decent DSP, but it shifted impact on me, and I missed a whopper chuck (twice) so dumped it.
That was 20 yrs ago and I'm still p*ssed.

The bottom one got a stock refinish. Looks better. Needs the orig bbl cerakoted to bring it to match. It's got a little bit of figure.

Range day tomorrow, the ol lady will shoot her 50th anniv model w grey lam stock and TRS25.
Let her shoot the one pic'd above and yeah, she's gonna want a trigger job.

Told her cash, no trades wink

My 10/22 shoots OK, but not as good as the FG did. If I can't get it a little better I'll have to drop the $ for a GM bbl and Victor stock.
My 184 shoots good enough I don't need the 10/22 to be super good, just want it slightly better than it is.

Could just need a little less forend pressure.

I shoot "hyper-velocity" (whatever that is) all the time.

Like I've said before, if you want an accurate semi-auto 22lr - get a Marlin 60. If you want something to tinker with - get a 10/22.

The Marlin is a lot of gun for the buck.

I was able to tweak the trigger back when I was a kid, not bad.

"No hyper velocity ammo" sounds like a CYA move by company lawyers.

They'll handle them.

I'm really old (80) and still like my Winchester 63 better than any of the newer 22 semi autos!

You really can't go wrong with Ruger or Marlin offerings in .22LR automatic rifles. I had a 10/22 for a while and liked it. In stock form it was very reliable and reasonably accurate. The amount of cash one can invest in a 10/22 if so inclined is staggering. The aftermarket goodies available are endless.
I now have several Marlins based on the Model 60 Marlin semi auto action. My favorite of these is a Marlin 7000 I was lucky enough to snag at the LGS one day. I have a 4x Nikon rimfire scope on it and a DIP trigger guard and trigger kit. It balances perfect for me and is my go to rimfire for most everything.
Here it is with a red dot, prior to the 4x nikon and trigger guard:

Another vote for the Winnie 63. I also have and love a Remmy 241....Both are old school walnut and blue rifles with a lot of class. I have a 10/22 with a heavy barrel that shoots fine but I don't shoot it much.

This one has been bugging all week. Helluva a price. I have wanted one since I was a kid.

I bought a used Browning SA-22 and put a Skinner rear sight on it a couple years ago. It is one of the all time most fun rimfires you can have. And the bottom ejection is great for shooting out of the window.
