shopping for a some .22LR hardware.

[vash]

thinking of going all Ruger.

i need a rifle. i just got back from NM deer hunting and we distracted ourselves mid-day chasing cottontails. talk about a GREAT time. i used my .22 pellet rifle and it was a blast, but running back to air up was a PIA. discovering how delicious they were, i want to really stack up a pile of them.

i'm also buying my BIL a handgun. thinking .22 ruger MarkIII. i might get one for myself has well.

rifle? Ruger 10/22 target? i like the laminate stock w stainless steel. opinions?

[vash]

like this maybe

What model is that Besides10/22

[tabs]

Everyone should have a 10/22

[on2wheels52]

"A" (as in one) 10/22?

[svandamme]

I bought a MK3 last year , hated it and sold it within a month.
Total bastard to field strip and clean.
Trigger is tractor grade with the mag disconnector
and still not great with that mag disconnector disconnected.

the Ruger MK4 is out and has a decent dissassemble now.
But i hear the trigger is still agricultural.

That is the 10/22-T or Target. Very good, still needs trigger work. Runs $400ish new.


The 10/22T is a bit heavy for field work.

I also don't like the standard carbine, although I have an AWESOME tiger striped stock for one....

My only 10/22 is a on-the-cheap ultimate build - heavy barrel, boyds tacticool stock, trigger work, etc

I'd look really hard at the 10/22 LVT model - according to rimfirecentral.com it is probably the best out of the box 10/22. Get one of those, send trigger unit to Brimstone Gunsmithing for a $40 Tier 3 trigger job, and put some glass on top.


Handgun? Ruger Mk III or IV, Browning Buckmark, CZ Kadet, GSG or SIG or Colt 1911-22. Mine is a Ruger Mk II 5.5" heavy barrel stainless. Had a GSG but sold it when I sold my 45 1911. Any of them would be a quality gun.

hmmm.

less than $200!! that allows a better scope budget! a Savage

Oh, and whatever you do, LOCK YOUR WALLET UP if you go visiting rimfirecentral.com and the forums, especially when KIDD is mentioned.

Had a SIG (GSG) 22-1911 as well, nice full size, but the quality of the safety or beaver tail is terrible, piss poor size, sharp edges.. But fully replacable by proper 1911 parts.

Did sell it soon after getting it as well, hated the trigger.

Problem is that the trigger on my Dan Wesson 1911 is just to good, anything else i shoot feels like **** after the Dan Wesson.

oh i know. my brother brought his silenced .22. i almost shot out all of his ammo he brought. i was shooting yellow jackets wasp out of their hovers as they approached a big dead tree. 20 yards. shooting subsonics. it was giddy fun.

The F stock (on F, FV, FVSR, and FVT models) really sucks. Spring the extra money and get the BV or BTV or TR. I had a BTV - very accurate.

Of course, if you are interested in a bolt gun, I have CZ 455 Varmint that I'd like to sell.... has some rust on underside of barrel but very accurate (just under MOA wtih SK Std+). Has single shot adapter, DIP rail-> weaver adapter scope mount, original 5 round mag, and a (cheap) Tasco 6-24x44 scope with 1/8MOA target dot reticle. Can put in a cheap hard case, box it up, and ship it to your local enabler for $400. Hit me a PM if you want pictures, etc.

Ha so true.. I think the only piece left on my 10/22 that is not KIDD is the S/N piece and the stock. But my groups went from quarter to dime.

As stated everybody needs at least one.

You can swap the barrels out on the CZ455! CZ-USA CZ 455 Varmint - CZ-USA

Yup. And other than factory replacements in other calibers (the 455 action can handle 17hm2 17hmr 22lr 22wmr) and profiles there are barrels available from Lilja as well.

[Bill Douglas]

I have a Sako Quad that can swap barrels in minutes. It's right up there in the accuracy department too. Plus a not so commonly known fact; all the Sako factory workers are naked 18 year old blonde girls.

[scottmandue]

I'm not a hunter but like playing with spoons, pardon my ignorance but why would you put a silencer on a .22?

It was a loooooooooooooooooong time ago but I (vaguely) remember shooting .22 rifles in boy scouts and don't remember wearing ear protection.

When was a kid used to sit on the picnic table at Grandma's with my Cousin and shoot cicadas out of the trees with a pump pellet rifle, His dog, whiskers, a long haired terrier would fetch them too us.
