Thread: My Ruger 10/22 LR project

On another note - my weihrauch silencer was doing a fantastic job but it filled up with crud. I cleaned it all out but I think it will be going back on my tx200hc (target air rifle springer). I came across this add on TM, has anyone used one of these before?

DPT Modular 22Mag Suppressor - 92grams | Trade Me

Haven't used one but they look pretty sweet. I'd just use 1 baffle and subs if I went that way.

Mines got a full over barrel suppressor, so it's only 16 inches total, and pretty easy to clean.

It's easy to get a 10/22 trigger feeling real good. Plenty of cheap trigger kits. I nearly went with a KIDD one too, but tried the $30 kit and it's damn good. Very impressed with KIDD stuff though, so I bet the triggers are tricking amazing.

Check here for a NZ KIDD reseller - http://usaguns.co.nz

I'd recommend the buffer and cocking assembly if you're going to be using subs a lot. Easy to install yourself.

the kidd seller is less than usefull when tryng to get info from him.
i did manage to find out that a shipment was leaving the states about 3 weeks ago

iv had both the volquartsen trigger bits and now a gen 1 timney in my ruger
chopped the barrel short ie 13 inches, I asked for 12 but the engeneer aparently knew better than i did. and suppressed it
threw on an old vx1 LR duplex 3-9x40 i had lieing around and moved the sling stud to the tip of the forend so it carrys better
I hate to admit it but it has become one of my favorite rifles to use, and it gets the worse use and abuse of any of my rifles, continues to be accurate

dont go overboard on spending on it, its just a bloody ruger, just use it

iv also got a model 2 brno in the safe it just dusnt get used anymore

It will shoot way better and have change in your pocket because you won't burn ammo.

10/22's are like cheap women. They do what they say on the tin but they are pretty loose. Spend a fortune on them and they are an expensive tart done up.

wow, just wow.
I had the exact same experience. My 10/22 shot well but my jw15 is amazing. I put a Bushnell banner 3_9x40 on it and it's usually no trouble to head shot out to 60M. I really did enjoy the ability to double tap with the ruger but I always take the jw because it has the over barrel suppressor stop very quiet.

All these varipower scopes n huge $$$$ getting spent on a 10/22. You lot are strange!

It's a 22. Put a 4X scope on, tweak the trigger yourself then go kill shit out to 75 yards. If you use it a lot drop the timney trigger in with the shithot mag release. If your using subs it needs to be kept super clean including the mags (much to my disgust!!). I hate cleaning .22's.

If If you've got to head shoot grab the bolt action.

Not necessarily, if the build is done with a specific purpose. I built mine for positional scoped rifle (4P 50 & 100m) and sillhouette matches. I found it quite handy when I got a good hold, to never have to take my hand off the grip between shots operate a bolt. Same in silhouettes, get a good hold and why not get all 5 away if you're on a roll. A scope needs plenty of power and turrets with exceptional memory to be competitive in these disciplines.

That said, I haven't shot 4P or sillhouette for 12 years, so she's a safe queen now.

I tried a 10-22 take down. Played with it for ages and it would not keep zero when taking apart and putting back together.
It was when they first came out. A mate wanted to buy from me to keep in his digger for the odd rabbit and wild cat so sold it to him.
His shots only 10 to 20 mtrs.
Finally read that you need to ensure barrel is in line as a little out creates problems. Just due to boredom got another to see if I could win..
Turned out to be reasonably expensive boredom but there you go ..

Bought AR scope back off mate who never used it. Shortened barrel. Vol trigger group.
NZ made Vol copy bolt. Bolt quick release mod. Buffer etc. DPT 22 Magnum suppresser. Filled front stock 1/2 with resin to weigh it up a bit.
Fitted small length P Rail on front stock 1/2 for folding style AR Fore Grip or Bi Pod .All it has to do is hit rabbits at 100 mtrs and drop them.
Not done with Long Range in mind as either .17 or .223 for that stuff.
Its super light retains zero rough enough on dis and reassembly and heaps of fun. Never misses a beat so far I m pretty happy with it had quite a few boxes of ammo through it.

I tried searching for that app and cant find it?

I could find the app but wasn't free, and I'm not so lazy to spend $4 rather than use calipers.

How often does that thing get broken down happy? Cool idea I just can't imagine myself ever having it in two. Nice scope

It gets taken to bits every use cos lives in the backpack that it came with. Its so easy to assemble and put back together that its not a problem.

Gets chucked in the car quite often if visiting farming mates.. Always something looking to get plinked at .. Scope way too good for it but may end up

trying it on my shottie yet !! Hard to find small scope that would fit in the pack plus be of reasonable quality.

They really are that good.

The replacement hammer helped, mine doesnt get used enough to warrant a flash as trigger.

this was my 10/22. i really liked shooting it double tapping and after if changed the stock it was a lot easier to shoot accurately standing but it wasn't as accurate as my jw15.

Good luck trying to pry my 10/22 out of my cold dead hands
