Stock for 10/22?

[Plink&Hunt]

Does anybody know what a good stock for a 10/22 carbine would be?

I am not looking for something "tactical". I am looking for a nice looking wood stock with good color and grain and such.

The criteria is:

Fitted for factory barrel
ambidextrous or lefty
wooden
$120 or less.

Sounds like the factory stock to me.

I was gonna say the same thing.

I haven't found anything better then the factory walnut Carbine stock that came on mine in 1970.

After all, it is a Carbine, not a true rifle.

Here's an option from boyds. Should fit your budget or darn close. Called a "blaster" IIRC.

I have always been partial to the original wood stock that came on my 10/22. The only thing I added was a set of Uncle Mike's sling swivels. I also have a Butler Creek folding stock just for those times when I wanted a more compact package.

Here is a good site to shop. I cannot remember who I got my stock from. If you do a google search for "10/22 stocks", you come up with a lot of the major sellers. MidwayUSA and Brownells are also good sites to look at to see what is available.

My present 10-22 is from the 80s so didn't have walnut. Did get one off a trade-in when I found out the buyer wanted to paint it. He was happy to get my birch, I got his walnut.
Blaster....I think he wanted ambi or lefty....does Boyds make that one in lefty? I've had Boyds stocks and they are really nice.

I put a folding stock on my carbine years ago and it's served its purpose well. Picked up a takedown model recently so the carbine might get a new barrel and stock one day.

For wood stocks, Boyd's is hard to beat. The Hunter stock is classic, non-tacticool, looks sharp, and is very comfortable. If you want to look at composite stocks, I recommend the Hogue overmolded stock.

Call here. They will fix you up, but they are not cheap.

I like laminated stocks like those from Boyd's or Stocky's- many different colors/grains, well made and very sturdy.

Call Ruger and ask them how much they will charge for a Sporter stock. Probably close to your budget and by far the best option.

Is there really a better stock than the Ruger Finger Groove Walnut from the 1960's?

I believe someone out there is making copies.

Cheek out the stock section over at Rim Fire Central.

What KBob said. RFC has everything 10/22. There use to be lots of take off stocks for the ruger 10/22 on Ebay. Factory stocks were give away cheap. Lots of folks customized their guns and got rid of factory stocks.

Keep your eye out on ebay. A surprising number of walnut carbine , sporter and Mannlicher stocks pop up.
I was thinking about getting a sporter or Mannlicher for my 10/22 and saw more than I expected for sale. A lot of people must replace them and have factory stocks hanging around. A good many are "hardwood " so watch the description . In the end I just kept the factory walnut carbine stock that it came with.
I can't get into the garish, multi colored , plywood aka "laminate" keyhole abominations that Boyd's calls 10/22 stocks. Don't care for plastic either so we just kept the nice factory walnut stock.
I just visited Boyd's and apparently you can get a Hunter Sporter in standard walnut, I believe the price is $164.00. Didn't realize they had that option.... kind of pricey, but that's for finished walnut sporter .

Its hard to beat Rimfire Central for anything rimfire. The people on there live, eat and breath it.

Check out the 10/22 section

Personally, I like the walnut stock off the deluxe sporter.

I'm just going to say this: drop "fitted for factory barrel" from your requirements and you'll have a much better-shooting gun with better upgrade potential. Any stock out there will work with the factory barrel, but almost all aftermarket stocks are inlet to allow thicker aftermarket barrels to be free-floated. You can free-float your original barrel using one of these stocks and a V-Block and you'll have a gun that will shoot much nicer.

Furthermore, if you later decide you want to change the barrel, you won't have to change anything else. You've already got all the components you need.

I'm a big fan of the Mannlicher stock for the 10/22-looks perfect to me on this rifle.

I put the M1 Carbine conversion stock from Sarco on mine. Comes with a GI sling and oiler to dress it up. Replaced the sights with the XS M1 Carbine style sites. Shoots great and looks awesome!

This is a great way to go if you will shoot open sights. Boyd's may be better if you want to run a scope however.

I know you said wood but having a number of 10-22's I will say the most functional and convenient is the folder.
My carbine length rifle fits in the gear bag on an ATV is maneuverable in a vehicle, and is very packable.
