Got my Ruger 10/22 today

[JStang314]

Today I went to a local gun shop (who was working on another gun of mine) when I saw they had a used 10/22. So I brought back a slug shotgun to see if he would be interested. We traded with a few bucks also. The gun is hydrodipped digital camo which i'm not sure if I like or not and I would've preferred the stainless barrel but I really wanted one of these to take the load off of my old 22 I shoot too much. It also came with one of the Ruger 25 rd mags which I dont have to buy now. Now I just have to decide if I want to keep the stock or go with just the stock black one. Either way I'm happy with my new range toy!

Just to stir something up:




Sorry, but I just had to do it!! I'd really like to see that stock--trying to visualize just isn't cutting it right now...

Congrats on a good trade--I've loved my 10/22 since the first time I pulled the trigger!!

Have to admit--those are NICE!!! Squirrels'd never ever see the gun that bagged 'em!!

You will love to shoot the 10/22. The camo is sweet as well.

Nice

The stock looks good. Hydrodipping seems to be catching on.

I think I'll leave it for now, but I'm not too interested in a wood stock. If I change it I'd probably either go for the regular black synthetic or something aftermarket. I appreciate the offer though

Nice gun, I like the camo. Now let the mods begin!!!

 

[eric001]

If you ever decide you want the black synthetic, just let me know--that's what mine is, and I only care about the overall shape and weight of the stock, not what it looks like or is made of.

Very nice, I especially like the thumbhole stock with the stainless fluted barrel one.

I dont really dislike the camo on mine, its just that when i decided to get one it was going to be black but I got a decent deal on this one especially with the bx25 coming with it. I'll just shoot the crap out of it and when i get the itch for something different I'll put a different stock and barrel on it. HOpefully I can hold off for a while on changing stuff but i've said that before.

I would start with these low cost mods...

Loosen or remove the barrel band so it can free float. It can cause accuracy issues if too tight. If you need to add a sling, just add a swivel mount to the front and rear of the stock.

That stock is sweet. The 10/22 will treat you well.

Guess the synthetic is more rugged, but you can never go wrong with wood. I would say it depends on however you want to use it
