How many of you keep your 10/22s stock?

I've had mine customized in the past. At one point I had it in a Boyd's laminate with a 20 inch bull barrel and a 4.5-14x40 Nikon. Any more I keep it pretty much stock. The factory trigger sucked so I added a competition hammer out of necessity. But I find that the rifle is more than adequately accurate with the factory barrel and stock, and it is much lighter and handier than the other setup. With the 2.5-7 Weaver on it, I can head shoot squirrels and keep spent shotgun shells bouncing out past 50 yards, which is all I need. And I like how agile it is with the scope turned all the way down shooting both eyes open on closer, faster moving varmints.

Anymore, I think the Ruger 10/22 is nearly perfect as it comes out of the box. I just hope Ruger has improved the factory trigger pull on them since I bought mine, because that is really the only complaint I had against mine. Love my 10/22...
 
Neither of mine are stock but I bought the cheapest 10/22's I could find (at Dick's) for about $199 each. Both sport Predator T-Rex stocks, Mueller APV scopes; one has a 22lr Green Mountain bull barrel and the other a .17 Mach2 barrel/bolt from Rimfire Technologies. Both will shoot 5 shot groups well under 1/2" at 50 yards with multiple ammo types even with the shoddy stock triggers.
I've been tempted to pick up one "last" one to outwardly leave as stock. I'd likely send the barrel off to Nemohunter on RFC to rework the crown/chamber...

Cheers

Stock? What an odd thought!

Mine has a stock receiver. Thats pretty much it. I didn't buy it to keep stock. I guess if I was looking for a stock semi-auto .22 LR, there are other options out there. Its all in what you want.
