PS mine.

Have just bedded the first 2 in of the barrel and floated the rest,relieved the barrel band so it’s not touching and might get a bx trigger from gun city,the one in it seems to have been worked on but has a lot of creep before preasure comes on,nice and light from there though.gonna put the Kahles 2-7 on it an see what se can do.

Cycles CCI suppressor ammo well so all others should work as well,nice and quiet but they don’t kill well..shot a couple of hares the over night and even though neck shot and down they still needed follow up shots,usedpowergpoint*as thelasgewgin the mag and once hit with them it was lights out immediately.

Got to agree with Gundoc....best mod. ever is porting the barrel and installing a full length overbarrel suppressor. The only noise is the bolt recycling. I will consistently flatten 3 or 4 bunnies ( or magpies) before the others get wise to what's happening.

Seemed to work @ 50m..mucking with the torque on the screw helped as well as completely removing the barrel band.[ATTACH]132108[/ATTACH

All set up ready for action

Got the rings for used price and I think the base fits something else (maybe) from Richard Wilhelm when I got it early 90's.
Not as cheap as weaver but I was happy with the coin at the time

Is this a stock Ruger 10/22 trigger group?
Just bought a used 10/22 takedown, took it out to the range and it was performing well - I was expecting the trigger to feel horrible after reading about the stock one being rubbish - but to be honest it didn't feel much different to the timney unit I've got in my standard 10/22 (bought it with that so have never tried a stock one)
I looked at some pics and notice they don't seem to have the grub screw like this one so am wondering if it's had some work - or maybe I'm just too much of a neanderthal to notice the subtleties of a lighter vs heavier trigger pull!?
