Ruger 10/22

Having great fun with my Ruger 10/22 "project rifle". A friend gave me this neat little gun and now I've been introduced to the world of tricked out Rugers. So far, replaced the AWFUL factory sights with fiber optics. And tore it down and replaced the dumb magazine release and goofy bolt lock/unlock method. The results were GREAT. After a little sighting in at the range, nice tight groups. And SO much easier to use with tweaks to the action.

Up next is a trigger kit to get the pull down from the current muscleman 7# to a more manageable 2-3#. Should make a nice difference.

Was at Cabela's the other night looking for a .22 bolt action (they don't stock much -- why?) and ran across a tricked out 10/22. Stainless fluted barrel, composite stock, all the tricks. And for $600. A pretty cool little gun. Perhaps my goal!
