I am building another 10/22 (got a screamin' deal on a Collector's Series 2nd Edition)
My other 10/22's were kept pretty close to stock.
I want to make it into something that could be used for plinking and target shooting and small game hunting if needed. I know most stock 10/22 can make most of that happen with minimal work, but this one needs customizing while maintaining a rather stock appearance (i.e. no laminate thumbhole stocks or deluxe bull barrels etc). I want to keep it rather cheap, and of low key appearance.
Thus far I have bought or installed:
- Black Hogue over-molded stock made for Ruger, keeping the standard barrel
- Volquartzen buffer, and firing pin/extractor upgrades w/ SS trigger assembly retention pins.
- Sightmark Core SX Rimfire Rifle Scope 3-9x 40mm 22LR BDC Reticle
- Hornet Customs Trigger assembly, Black Max, all black with TS extended mag release, short throw safety, easy bolt release and a 2.5# pull billet trigger, in all black.(Used to be a part of a .22lr rifle team, I'm proficient with a light trigger)
All of these make for a pretty nice rifle, but I've never customized one to this extent before so I am asking MDS, Is there any other must-have upgrade? Have I made any bad choices with components?
Does anyone have any suggestions for further, non-flashy, functional upgrades that they would put in their own rifle??
All suggestions appreciated!
