It's 10/22 So Show Me Your 10-22

[22250Rem]

Another late comer to the annual 10/22 thread. Been awful busy with other stuff recently but here's the 10/22 that shows up here annually. It's an older photo but nothing has changed, and it still looks the same. I like it this way, although I sometimes wonder if it would be better off with one of the Ruger BX triggers. .

My 1966 model that I've had since the early 1970s when I was a teenager. I've carried this thing for many miles and put a lot of rounds through it. It wears a Clearidge Ultra RM 3-9x32. I sent the trigger to Brimstone a few years ago for their Tier 2 Sweet Spot job, turned out excellent at 2.0 pounds pull weight. A good-shooting gun with special sentimental value to me.

Which is old and which is new?

Where did you get the grip support?
Is it only for that stock?

The 10-22 has been a favorite of mine for 40 years … one of the things I like about it is as my interests have changed, the “styling” of it can be modified to nearly anything you want.

My current favorite is a threaded barrel take-down Challenger with a Copper Custom brace adapter, Franklin Armory binary trigger, suppressed


G36 kit


Zimmerman kit


Action floated in Fagen target stock, Wilson bull barrel, Voquartsen trigger, BSA Sweet 22 scope


SCAR kit


Factory stock, finned barrel, BX trigger, BSA Sweet 22 scope


2013 Factory International stock, BX trigger, BSA Sweet 22 scope


Lastly, a Tommy Gun kit that I don’t have a picture of on my host … there are several others that have come and gone over the years.

Mine is a vintage 1979, I seem to remember getting it for my 16th birthday. Dragging it through the river and creek bottoms was hard on that orange, flaky finish that Ruger used-



So I refinished it with a BLO/turpentine mix-



Just mounted this old Bushnell scope on it and sight it in at 50 yds.

Which Bushnell is that? What reticle?

Rifle in the back is a Ruger 10-22 which actually belongs to my son. Gave it to him maybe 25 years ago but it lives here with me. The foreground rifle is a Ruger 44 Maagnum carbine. Both are on cheap prop bi pods. Actually the Ruger 44 Carbine circa 1961 or so was the rifle which spawned the 10/22 which came later.

And this is why the 10/22 receiver is so wide. Especially for a 22.

I don't know the model name but it has a duplex reticle.

The stock is wide to accommodate the 10rd flush fitting rotary magazine.

Yep, matter of fact.

On a side note the Ruger 44 Mag Carbine is gas operated and feeds from a tube magazine under the barrel but yes. the Ruger 10/22 is modeled after the Ruger 44 Carbine. Damn, I love that rifle.

That too.
