Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Ruger News: 10/22 Competition Rifle Left-Handed Model

I guess I'm lost on the real advantage of an integral rail?

Integral rail is nice because it is solid. That helps in accuracy/precision. They look good too, when it's part of the rifle. I'm with pappy on this, great rifle. Like I've said before, I kind of turned my opinion around once I had one in my hand. Had I not already had a good right handed 10-22, I would have bought the left handed 10-22 competition model. $700.00 is not a bad price, if you add up all the accoutrements..

That receiver isn’t cast, it’s CNC machined, stress-relieved, and heat-treated. Has a secondary barrel locator, so the barrel is floated. Apparently it’s not uncommon for base screws on standards to end up stripping the holes. The rail is also angled for LR shooting with scopes that may not have a lot of elevation.
