10/22s carry some freight OK, but I've never gone down the dress'm up road. Under the banner of American made fodder this one shoots CCI SV OK and Win. Power Points quite well. Rest of it might make a fair pattern for buckshot out of a 12 bore at 30 yards. Beyond that I've very little use for .22 ammo manufactured here in the USA. Don't shoot it by the ton, don't mind spending some extra jingle when I do. Well, there is one exception. The Contender with the short match chamber seems OK with the CCI CB shorts. The strings below were shot in order starting with a clean barrel. Otherwise? Ammo from Europe mostly groups 5-10 shots in one hole out to 50 in several of my rifles. Wolf, SK, Norma though not quite as consistent. Have not tried anything else, don't see the need. Pic below was crafted by my 513S at 50 yards using Wolf MT. If your mileage varies I'm OK with that.
I am..........disturbed.

Dan,
Have you ever done the 22 Short conversion thing in a 10/22? I had one, a Volquarsen 10-22. It had a heavy SS barrel, chambered and twisted for .22 Short. It had an aluminum bolt, modified clip. I got all kinds of .22 short ammo. It shot OK. My 39 Marlin out shot it, same ammo. I was so disappointed, I sold the barrel, bolt and mag, got a steel bolt and a .22 LR bbl, turned it into a .22 LR DF

Dan,
Have you ever done the 22 Short conversion thing in a 10/22? No. But I thought about it a lot. Then I got the short barrel for the Contender and never looked back. Had an old Rem 572 for quite a spell that did excellent work with shorts. Nephew has it now. Nailed 19 Muscovy ducks with it out in the back yard using CBs. Neighbors never heard the first shot.
I am..........disturbed.

It's hard to have a 10/22 and not have fun with it!

I used to have a fair bit of fun wasting ammo with this one.

Since this has turned into a 10/22 love fest (and rightly so IMO), hier ist wieder mein Altschules Zehn/Zweiundzwanzig Gewehr. Immer noch Schießfreude...

Yea.....I'm finding that out. I ran across a good deal on Fed a while back so I picked up a couple of bricks. It seems to function is a couple of other auto's I tried it in but I get a lot of duds. I'm down to about 50rnds and won't be buying any more. You're right about the Auto Match though.....it's flawless in my MKIV and Browning 1911/22. Walmart keeps a pretty good supply of it so I go through a lot. Charlie, I find the Automatch to be about the best of the inexpensive stuff. Runs well in all my guns. Not to say i don't get a dud once in a while with them, too. But, it's not enough to be a big annoyance. They are just about right for letting younsters get their jollies blasting away with a 10/22 and MK II or III.

I'm a fan of the mannlicher stocked 10/22s, particularly the stainless/laminated version that was a special order for Wal-Mart about 20 years ago, the 1022KRBIBBZ..
Recently, I bought a couple of 10/22s with the copper mica color modular stocks from CDNN for around $220 per, this is Ruger's # 21139. Of all of the non-mannlicher style stocks that Ruger has put on the 10/22s from day one of production, I like the fit/feel of these modular stocks the best.

Picked up a 10/22 takedown at a local grocery getting out of the gun business sale this past spring, SS for about $250. Put an elderly 3x Leupie on it and it seems to shoot pretty well with most everything I ran through it. Nothing was off a bench and did not pretend to really sight it in. A beer can at 40 yards was not able to dodge the abuse, off-hand.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Our family has customized around 6-8 10-22s over the years and the all seemed to take the same road. Hogue overmolded stock, Elysium 16" match bull barrel, some handwork on the triggers and a economy scope on them. Our sons would run about 5000-7000 rounds per summer through them and they all seemed to be very accurate and would run quite well on almost all kinds of bulk ammo with the exception of Rem Golden Turds.
The FTF rate on the Turds was probably around 4-5% which was very high and annoying, especially when shooting at a running jack rabbit. That was the only ammo that I would not buy even when the rimfire ammo scare was on under Obama. All other brands seemed to work just fine. Some of those rifles ended up with 20000-25000 rounds through them and each would leave with a son when he got married and are still being used with who knows what round count now.

Ordered one of these at LGS last Friday for a project starter. Stainless gun w/ bull bbl... This one came in, and I picked it up last night. Threw the scope on quick so I could function test the gun, and it seems to have a lot of potential. Ruger seems to have stopped production of this Model (M# 1234) with the stainless barrel. https://www.impactguns.com/Semi-Aut...-Extended-Mag-Release-736676012343-1234/
