I just picked up a 10/22 ruger rifle. seems like a nice .22 and comes recommended. Anyone else have one?

Pretty much everyone either has one or is getting one I think. Some are like me and have a couple. For the money they are hard to beat.

Which model ???

What ever you do dont use the Leupold scope base . You should have gotten one in the box .........

Dont go big on the scope , keep it simple a nice 4 or 6 power will serve you best . Zero it at 50 yards and buy LOTS of ammo . BUT first go and buy 1 50 rd box of every brand you can find , dont bother with the target rounds . Find the one that shoots best and buy a couple 5000 rd cases .

One of the best mods you can do is get a extended mag release , its easy to install your self . Then mod the bolt release or buy one , I can tell you how to mod it , just need a file or dremel tool .

It's the Carbine model. I didn't get a scope yet, and there is a base in the bag. I do want to get some extra magazines for it.

If you go for hi-cap magazines, I recommend Butler Creek "Steel Lips". Stay away from the 50 round drum.

I have 2 of the 1022's. they are a great little gun. Ruger may still make their bolt action 22 as well. Also a nice piece. Agree on the butler creek. Also lite weight. I have one in stainless and one blue.

10/22s rock

When my buddies and I go out shooting we have our fancier tactical or big boom guns but the 10/22 usually comes out last and gets to eat the most amount of rounds. As far as guns go I don't think that there is a bigger bang for the buck than the 10/22.

 

[roamer 101]

best 22. made plus plenty of aftermarket parts!!!!!!

FXJOHN is a poser people. His last post about "his" weapons showed his ignorance about guns. He doesn't own any. He came to this site to stir up dissention. Nothing else. Take anything he says with a grain of salt.

Thanks, it seems to be a really good .22

I got a 10/22 a couple of weeks ago as well - it's a very fun little gun. I can shoot all day for about $20. I personally prefer shooting with iron sights just because I've had nothing but bad luck with scopes - and it's good, cheap practice for my grandfather's 30-30 (also scopeless), which hasn't taken a deer in probably 40 years. A problem that I would like to remedy very soon.

Now get a .22 revolver or Ruger MKII. Butler creek makes the only reliable long magazine for a 10/22.
