Savage99, is that your rifle?.....How's it shoot?

Yes it was mine. I gave it to my son and he has it now.

It's quite accurate. I paid a low price for it. The prices of those 611's are crazy high now on the net.

Some dealer had some new ones. Find those old auctions if you can. They may have more.

Tough to beat a good 10/22,though I've many examples of the other offerings mentioned thus far in this Thread.

I tend to grade performance,more than I do aesthetics............

Got any good tips on tuning up a 10/22 heavy barrel?

B&C tubes are usually sinister in the accuracy department and the 16" .920" S/S non-fluted,is all but free in pricing.

In everything but a Hogue,I float the action and FL the barrel,with the McMillan Anschutz Sillywet being my default favorite. The Hogue is a drop-in and run scenario,which do bear fruit.

Rather than replace triggers,I'm happy to stone the existing and perhaps respring same. I'm a fan of a TG mounted overtravel stop,for double-taps or longer stitches.

For the loot,the Weaver T-09 base is tough to beat,as it's cross slotted and will greedily accept a multitude of ring types. I'm hip on Leupie PRW's and their generous surface area beneath the ring caps and I've yet to shoot any loose in any application.

I've a good sized herd of 10/22's(and a pair of AMT's) and am very hip on what a good 10/22 can reliably do................

\With all due respect friend, I don't really think a "hi grade" rifle should come demanding a trigger job and an aftermarket extractor.



Don't consider the 1022 to be "high grade", do consider them to be the best buy in a SA 22, though. Not really necessary to "upgrade" them, although it's a temptation, with all the aftermarket goodies available.

My oldest 1022 was new in the late 1960s. All original, 'cept for a synthetic thumbhole stock and inexpensive Green Mountain 20" .920 blued barrel, (both fairly recent additions). That rifle has digested in excess of 20,000 rounds and still works fine...if you keep Remington ammo away from it. My kid ran a minimum of 3 or 4 bricks through it annually, when he was in his pre-teen years.

Once went over 3 years (and thousands of rounds), with no cleaning, other than the occasional patch down the barrel. Still cycled flawlessly, crud'n all.

If a "high grade" rifle is one that's extry purty and cost alot of money, you can have it. Especially if it can't shoot/function as consistantly well as one that cost less than $200. Bought another new 1022 last year for $179. Still as-issued, except for a longer LOP synthetic stock I had taking up space here. It also shoots/functions very well.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Had a 10/22 go almost 18,000rds in an R&D experiment,before it got too dirty to run at all.

For conversation...............

I always liked the original little Browning .22 auto. I was the only one of four siblings who loved firearms. When he died in 86 dear old mom gave it to someone else.

I've a few,as well as a 241. While nostalgic and fairly classy...they can't begin to hang with a 10/22.

My Winny 74 short is pretty skookum.............

Ended my experiment after about 3 years, mostly because of peer pressure: My dad and my son demanded that I clean it, since they shot it more'n I did at the time. ;O)

The boy once burned up over a brick of Wildcats with the 1022 in a few days, when he was about 8 or 9 and went to hunting camp with my parents. Told dad to hide the Ruger and make the little pizzer shoot his own M581, so the fodder lasted longer.

1022 never bobbled once in all those 3+ years,, shooting WW Wildcats, Dynapoints, CCI Mini mags, cheap Federals, or anything else we ran thru her. No Rems, though. Rem ammo is the only stuff that ever caused it to smokestack or jam, since I've had it. And that was many years ago.

Won a Fajen synthetic thumbhole in a raffle, figured that little factory barrel looked silly in there, so put an inexpensive .920 GM barrel on it fer chits and grins. With Wolf Match Target from a rest, it'll punch ragged holes @ 25 and do 1/2" @ 50 yards. Stock trigger and innards.

Think the rifle originally cost me $75, back when I got it?

I've had 4000rd days.

Few things more fun than a high zoot 10/22,a cliploader and a daypack full of 25rd BC's...................

Classy-looking rifles are fine. Several of my friends own some, I own very few. It's a personal choice, if one has the money to spend on something they and others find to be classy.

Some years back a huntin' bud bought a new Browning rimfire lever action. It is a beautiful little rifle. Not content to have spent hundreds for the Browning, he ordered a pricey receiver sight for it, which also looked beautiful.

I have a cheapo Williams receiver sight on the M39 I bought used. It still shoots circles around my bud's Browning, for roughly half the investment.

Then there are Savages, but I'll quit now. grin

BRNO 581's and the newer version labeled CZ 511 are well made accurate semiautomatic rifles. Not easy to find and the triggers are not match quality. I have one of each and they are very accurate. Have a TC Classic as well and it is very accurate and the trigger is nice.
