...even in 2020.

I say we all post pictures of our Ruger(s) here on 10/22.

So dump your last $100 that big-money build, or stitch together that half-done FrankenRuger, or go buy your first "10-22 starter kit", etc.
Whatever you have to do to get ready to post some cool stuff on the big day.

Personally, I'm hoping to see some early ones, and some true custom rifles, like the Germanic-stocked one posted on the Fire around a year ago.

This one did sub .5 at 50 yards but came out a little heavier than I wanted.
Still woulda kept it if the stock had some angle to the grip. Too vertical for field work.

Got a take off plain sporter bbl from SAP (to maybe put on the FG I had).
It's just laying on a shelf.

LGS got a 242 prefix in, looked clean (alloy trigger housing) but a big scratch on top of receiver. Went over today to check on it.

Thought for a minute, about making a light hunter w that bbl..............if not for the scratch

I still like a heavy barrel 10/22 in the cheap Hogue stock best, for all-around use. The A5-type of patterns look good for prone but I've never put a 10/22 in one.

Yesterday was 09/22. Are we supposed to wait a month, for 10/22?

I really like these two and have no desire to change anything about them. Both have farkles from KIDD. Triggers, buffers, guide rod, handles, etc. And rails with 8-32 screws.

Top one has a Clerke barrel that I chopped and crowned. Bottom one is a Walmart special. Still trying to get back another Walmart special from a buddy that I sold it to.

This one? Probably the most beautiful 10/22 I've ever seen.

This one was kinda odd.......

factory checkered sporter

[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]

and a standard from the same year
.
[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]

The sporter shot well, the standard was horrible. Did better after some stock work (had extreme tip pressure, proly compressed at action screw)......but still not good enough to be a hunter IMHO

Sold mine since it shot nice patterns. Not interested in spray and pray. No way was I going to retain an aluminum receiver and throw everything else away to be replaced with 1K in parts. Substituted an Anschutz.

Replaced the wood stock with a Ruger synthethic one and installed a Volquartsen action kit.

It serves as a knock around utility 22 LR and I have no complaints. [Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

Ran across a birch or beech sporter stock stainless one with a v7 on it in a pawn shop. Next thing you now I put GM barrel, kidd and volq parts in the bolt, brimstone teir 2 trigger, bedded the action. Rustoleum'ed the stock. Just something different.

Also got bored in the shop and messed around with a factory barrel band stock.

I keep a magpul takedown with me too

I bought the stock, inletted but unfinished, many years ago when Midway bought the last of Fajen's inventory. I think I gave $30 for it then. The barrel is a Clark sporter shipped blued and the action was actually powder coated. It was a project rifle with my youngest son when he was 12. He finished the stock, saved up to have Ahlman's checker it. He recently graduated from university and is out on his own with the 10-22 in hand.

Wow! Some of these 10-22s look like they're too nice to take out to shoot.

[Linked Image] The only part of the shorty that is Ruger is the magazine. I ordered all the parts and put it together after receipt of my SBR stamp. Folding stock, takedown with barrel storing in the stock, top charging like an AR-15, threaded barrel and Burris FastFire sight. Quick handling, easy to pack and accurate. I have a ridiculous amount of money in the build, but it is exactly what I wanted. A 10-22 that can fit in a brief case or daypack.

The other one is a 10-22 complete receiver from a rifle I traded a Nylon 66 for in 1988. It is in a Bull Packer folding stock that allows the barrel to be removed for packing. The barrel is a Tactical Solutions threaded barrel. The only thing I don't like about that rifle is the eye relief on the Burris compact 2x7, but it is minute of squirrel head accurate.

I have two 10/22s, a DSP that I put a GM fluted sporter barrel on, and an Anniversary model (#2) that has the modular stock, peep sights/rail. Neither of them will ever be mistaken for a target rifle, but they work in the woods. They're "good enough to kill stuff" but nothing more.

At least they're reliable, so they'll hang around, but unless you use high dollar ammo in them, they can't come close to my CZs. Even with the pricey ammo, they can only come close to a box-stock CZ512, let alone the boltguns.

My old buddy, 10/22 standard carbine. Bought it at age 16 in 1968 with proceeds from being a bag boy at Publix supermarket. Have mounted scopes on it in the past but for now it's wearing the original Williams Foolproof peep sight I had installed back in '68. Lots of "character" in that walnut stock and metal work, including the metal buttplate but it will still put rounds into nice little clusters at 50 yards.

Have taken boat loads of small game, pine cones, rocks, dirt clods, aerial targets, tweety birds of indeterminate species and generally pretty much whatever was legal or semi-legal to shoot over the last 52 years. Once even used it to butt smash a charging Utah ground squirrel.

I picked up a charger the other day. Just a plain jane black synthetic one. It was like new and someone had put a nikon 2-7 tactical rimfire on it. I got a heck of a deal so it came home.

I regularly take 10/22s to the range and every month or so someone will ask me how they can get their basic 10/22 to shoot as good as my not so basic 10/22. I tell them to send their rifles to CPC for a full tune up, but I doubt that any of them have done so. People who won't buy good ammo aren't likely to send their barreled action and $200 to Randy to improve a $200 rifle. But in most cases what other people do is a no consequence to me.

I came to the 10-22 game pretty late, but I suppose that good things DO come to those who wait...

I have a few now, but I think that this is the best one.
SK Industries stock, Jard trigger, 20"Green Mountain barrel and I don't know what else - I didn't build it.
Bought it as is (without the scope) and was shocked to see how it shoots. I've only gotten it to the range once to shoot at 100 yards. Nice still day, gun grouped Aguila SV around 7/8" or less and RWS HV HP to half of that. Using a junk 4-12 that I had as a spare.

Slowly gathering the parts to build a heavy barrel. All the others are sporters too.
