Best place for a Ruger 10/22

h2u · Dec 19, 2007

JeepDriver told me about the Bolt Release and Mag Release Extension for the 10-22. Those two mods were the best mods I can remember doing on ANY firearm. That is the way they should come from the factory. While you have it all broken down, make sure to replace the hammer- About as good as a trigger job. Check his suppressed 10-22 thread. In the original post he has the list of mods. Do these and you wont believe the difference.

The only thing I like about the Remington is the ergonomics of the controls. I can't stand the bolt latch lever on the Ruger or the mag release. The controls are MUCH more intuitive on the Remington 597... also it has a free-floated barrel. Any opinions?

I'll check out rimfirecentral.com as well

If you are near a Sports Authority you can usually pick one up for
around $145. Basic model, synthetic stock, fixed sites, red dot scope,etc.
Got mine their but since then have upgraded trigger and replaced
the scope.

The Sports Authority near me does not sell guns or ammo.

Does it have to be a semi auto smores? I have a CZ that shoots great right out of the box, of course it shot better when I put the glass on it.

I wouldn't mind a bolt gun... I love my CZ-75B and my Vz-82 when I had it. Does your CZ have the trigger you can press forward for a lighter pull? I read about that feature somewhere...

I got the 10/22 "ranch rifle" over the summer at bass pro. I think I paid less the 200 bones.

You know, after reading numerous reviews I'm leaning towards the 597. Full adult-sized synthetic stock, free floating bull barrel that is very accurate (even more accurate than some 10/22 aftermarket barrels), ergonomic controls and a scope for $170... I might go with that. The trigger sucks but a $35 aftermarket hammer supposedly helps.

I'm gonna spend at least $375 getting a 10/22 the way I like it. I can't stand the standard stock, bolt release/hold open and mag release either. The only parts on a 10/22 I'd keep would be the reciever and mags lol...

The money I save can go to ammo or that Walther P22 I always wanted!

smores,

The 597 is a pretty good little gun. I would also second the CZ452. That has just got to be the most accurate out of the box bolt gun on the market.

I think the 10/22's allure is not necessarily it's inherent accuracy, though some people shoot pretty well with them, but rather its ubiquitous availability of parts and gizmos. It's a kit gun that you can make your own.

I know I'm totally hooked on the thing. I've got a list of mods a mile long that I want to do to it just as a fun project.

I don't think so, there was something in the manual about the trigger but I didn't read it because I wasn't gonna mess with it anyway. I will have to check that out though. I bought it so my daughter and I can go plinking together, it works great for cheap shootin. It was sub 1/2" MOA at 50yds. with remington thunderbolt, I was very impressed cause the stock 10/22 can't get that job done.

The CZ453 they came out with a relatively short time ago has the single set trigger.

I'd love a CZ rifle, but they're about twice what the Rem 597 and 10/22 are going for. I think I'm gonna go with the Rem. rifle if I get enough x-mas cash

Does anybody make a magazine for the 597 that holds more than 10 rounds?

The P22's are fun. :thumbsup:

If you have a Dunham's or WalMart close by, check both. WalMart has the basic model for ~$182

I didn't know there were any Dunhams in this area, where?

BTW - I got a check from my grandmother for x-mas. I'm gonna try to pick up my 597 tomorrow morning
