Ruger 10/22 Takedown boring to shoot

[maxmayhem]

Shooting the ruger 10/22 does not interest me much...I find it generally pretty boring....why all the fuss for these things?

 

[Westside]

The fact you can take it apart. That is what all the fuss is about. it is just a accurate and reliable as the good old standard 10/22.

I think I can help.....

1. Get some of these and install them. Ruger® 10/22 Rifle - adjustable aperture sights

2. Get some of these Sure Site, Inc.

3. Grab a big box of clay targets.

4. Stretch a piece of 3/8inch rope between two solid objects 100 yards from your shooting line. Hang clay targets and blast away (using no bench rest...prone or sitting).

5. Enjoy.

Put a 4x or 3x9 scope on it, and order a suppressor.

i would have to get the site moved back and pay to have it threaded...i have a savage 22 that is threaded and scoped...i enjoy shooting the bolt gun more than the ruger....

I myself have found the 10/22's boring to shoot. I'm only a year into this addiction, but have found myself with 2 10/22's a regular carbine and a takedown. I put tech sights on the regular one not too long ago, but I just don't enjoy shooting a semi auto rifle as much as I do a bolt gun or pump shotgun. I think it has something to do with actually being involved with the gun more. I do enjoy emptying bx-25s, but ammo is too scarce to do that right now....

Been tipp'in back a little bit of grandpaws ole cough syrup have ya? I can relate to you, but I get that way with all my rimfires. Small bullit need smaller targets to keep the challenge up. Rimfire guns have no replacement for large centerfire noise & recoil, 500 rds of 22 , might be satisfied for the day of shooting, 20 3'' mag slugs out of my 870 and I'm happier than a fat kid eating cake.

I have one and it is pretty boring to plink with when there is other pieces that go "Boom" in the safe. It is cheap to shoot, accurate and the kids love it so I think I'll keep it.
I also had the barrel threaded. Go figure.

 

[maxmayhem]

the m and p 15-22 is much more fun to shoot....my son wont put that down ,,but wont shoot more than a mag through this thing....i guess if he liked it then i would like it better

Threaded barrel, there ya go! Upping the "fun" factor the OP might not have considered.

I sold mine. Ill take the Marlin 60 over the 10/22 any day.
That said Ill take my 39A out before any of the semi autos.

 

[IndyND]

I enjoy mine and find it very accurate. My 9 year old loves it.

 

[jaybird_123]

Ya, I know they do kind of suck. So just give it to me, I`ll take the damn thing off your hands.

I am buying a Henry Lever Action .22 in an attempt to make .22 fun to shoot..

The clay targets idea sounds almost as good as cake(I'm a fat kid)..but as one person said...Atterbury won't let you do that nor will my other range I go to on occasion.

 

[downlinx]

Well yes they can be boring to shoot. But nothing makes you son happier than getting to shoot with dad. This is the reason I keep my 10/22 around, bonding moment my boy, bonding moments last a life time. BTW, so do 10/22's

 

[lucky4034]

I enjoy my bolt action Savage more too... I also have a Model 64, 597 and 10/22 and the family loves them all.

Take your son, the 10/22 and the 15-22 and sign up for an Appleseed.
