Looking for reccomendations on a chassis for my 10/22 and stuck between the krg and grey birch. I primarily shooting prone, bench rest or from a tripod as my rifle is set up only as a blinker or hole puncher. I really like the grey birch but it's hard to justify for the retail price. If anyone has has experience with both or either and could steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it!

Like the title says, I’d like to hunt squirrels and shoot for fun out to 100 yards or so with the same gun in the same weekend. In all reality the furthest shot I’ll get on a squirrel is probably like 50 yards but most likely less.

Do I have to sight my scope in for squirrels and then re sight it in to 100 yards for shooting? Maybe I could take the scope off to hunt and then put it back on for fun, but then I’m not sure if I’d have to resight it again.

Looking for everyone’s thoughts regarding best practices for a barrel swap. Do you need to strip the receiver, remove the bolt and charging handle before removing the barrel? Or can you leave the receiver group intact and simply remove and install the barrel?

Gemtech Mist 22TD Hunter X22 Sig Romeo5 gen2

The 10/22 I'm buying will be 8lbs with optic and suppressor, due to the fact it has a bull barrel. I'm used to shooting 9lb AR15s, but I'm concerned for a plinking gun the weight will be oppressive.

I’m looking at both the x22 hunter and x22 MOE as an update to my 10/22. I have the original wood stock but want something a bit more rugged so I don’t have to worry about damaging the wood when out and about. Thoughts/opinions on either? I’m leaning toward the hunter as it has the magazine storage. Not concerned about the cost or weight difference, they both look fairly light.

I have been looking at buying a 10/22 for a while now, and have been torn between the Carbine and Sporter. I can get a bare bones Carbine with polymer stock, polymer barrel band, no sights but a rail for $215 - $240 delivered (includes shipping and FFL) from multiple online gun stores. That's not really that much cheaper than my LGS - Scheels sells these all day, every day for $249. However, what I REALLY want is the 75th Anniversary Sporter - maple stock, stainless steel barrel, sights, floating barrel and swivels but I have not found that model locally. These are $280 - $300 online ($325 - $345 after shipping and FFL).

In the big scheme of things, that's price is not necessarily bad but it's $100 more than the base model and I am still dipping my toes into gun ownership so I am still cost conscious (I know that will eventually disappear!). I've been going back and forth for months trying to decide what to do. Fast forward to today when I dropped into another LGS (Academy) to pick up some ammo I had ordered. While I was there, a father and son were buying that EXACT model that I had been lusting over - it was in stock and priced at $329. I have never seen the maple and stainless in stock at my LGS - all they ever have is the walnut furniture with satin black barrel.

The guy working the counter said that they got a few in for "Ruger Day [10/22]" but this was the last maple/stainless in stock. However, he suggested I check to see what Scheels got in for Ruger Day as "they are a lot bigger than we are and get way more guns". I jumped onto the Scheels website while at Academy, and sure enough, they had a maple/stainless in stock for $329 as well. Score!

What was even better was that I use Capital One Shopping and there was a 15% rebate going on for Scheels. This is highly unusual as most of the time the discount codes and rebates exclude gun and ammo. However in this case they were offering 4% rebate on ammo and 15% on everything else. This brought the price down to $279 so I immediately ordered it while at Academy. I drove on over to Scheels, and in less than an hour, walked out with my first 10/22 (there will be more). The $50 rebate has already shown up in my Capital One Shopping account so I am on Could 9. Lfe is good! I can't wait to take it to the range next weekend!!

Went to the range for the first time with a rifle. I’ve shot trap for years and always eyed those rifle guys. Got a 60th anniversary 1022 to give it a shot. I wasn’t sure what to expect with respect to recoil but what I got was so much less than my lowest expectation.

I shot 1” groupings at 15 yards. Any farther away than that the range’s supplied and required targets are just one red circle rather than concentric rings.

I shot some subsonic ammo to see how quiet it can be. While comically quiet and no recoil there wasn’t enough punch to cycle the action. So that was fun cycling each shell.

Beyond 15 yards unless I get bigger targets I guess I’m looking for an optic.

Shooting rifles is interesting. Not as much fun as clays but much much cheaper with a .22.

I have 3 other guns and wanted to get my wife into shooting but she is scared of the 5.56 and the 9mm. I got a Ruger 10-22 thinking it’d be excellent at plinking and so far, it’s jammed and sliced a few bullets when feeding poorly. I’ve never had a rifle do this. It does it with the 10 round mags and the 25 rounders. It’s brand new and so were the mags. Any ideas? Did I get a defective one?

Alright so I made a mistake. I’ll admit it. I ordered a couple 10/22’s the other day when psa had the same on them and did not realize they did not come with iron sights. I want them for my kids and want to teach my kids irons first… so with that said what are my options? The barrel is not drilled or tapped for a front sight. Thank you. And I know some people might say swap barrels but I’m really trying to avoid that

Its going on a .17 hmr , but this is about the only sub not full of barneys for shooting .

. They have two different styles, one has the parallax a/o at the end of scope and the other has it on turret style. What are the advantages of each ? FWIW vortex is highly on my list but didnt see any that weren't crazy long or the one AO i did see was a 4-12 and did not have a true duplex reticle. I am not a fan of a mil dot or bdc reticle

I am down to these 3 for decisions; note the vortex is one of my favs, but there was a 4-16 diamondback. And a 3-9 but the ao was on the end.

I bought a new 16" faxon BBL. I had to sand the finish off the mating surface. Freeze the barrel and heat the receiver just to get it together. Then when I went to reinstall the v block I discover the barrel is ever so slightly twisted. Grrr now I am going to have to Freeze the whole barreled action then rapidly heat the receiver just to turn it about 1/16 of an inch.

I have a stock Ruger Carbine 10/22.
I am not a huge fan of the trigger.
Compared to my Ruger American .243 trigger, it is so stiff.
I see Cabelas sells a BX replacement trigger for $140.
Do I have any other reasonable options?

I recently purchased a 10/22 model 31210. I’ve been looking into purchasing a Feddersen barrel for it. The main thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on one is if I can use the factory stock with any of the Feddersen barrels. I’ve seen people having to upgrade there stocks to accommodate kidd barrels and was wondering if the same would be required for the model of rifle I bought for Feddersen barrels? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a Turbo T2 which I have zero use for. I do not want another 5.56 gun as I already have another 5.56 can without a home. Plus, I straight up don't like using the T2 as it's way too gassy.

I do not have a .22lr firearm, and was thinking that this T2 sitting around may be the perfect opportunity to get a suppressed .22.

I am aware that using .22 causes lead fouling, but not only do I not care about the suppressor that much, ultrasonic cleaner + lead solvent should take care of it for the most part?

Curious about if anyone paints the inside of their receiver of any of their fire arms for “Quick Look” of empty chamber. Or would the carbon quickly build up and destroy the idea a “Quick Look”.

Just put together my Wiland chassis on my ruger 10/22 and I can’t get the front carbon fibre tube to center on the barrel. No matter how I manipulate it or reset the receiver, tighten and loosen bolts, the tube is always touching my barrel.

Anyone else with this chassis and solved this issue?

I’d like to look into making a setup and would like to know if anyone has used a program or tool that helps assemble parts and check for compatibility issues virtually. That way I can look at the overall components and aesthetics before deciding on anything.

Does anyone in here have a kidd trigger job kit? How much better is it than stock? And is it that much of an upgrade above the bx trigger upgrade?

But it looks a lot better in person, I think.

I'm debating between these 2 red dots and I'm not sure which I should get and if the 5X has any advantage, other than using AAA batteries vs CR2032. Which would you recommend getting? Is the extra $20 for the 5X worth it?
