Ruger 10/22 Takedown Build

[Jack Stilts]

Just picked this thing up last week. Love it for so many reasons.

-Cheap ammo
-Portability
-Customizability (Is that a word? Spell check says no.)

Out the door for $320, and came with a bunch of goodies.

Like this awesome bag.




And the standard Ruger padlock, bag strap, 10-round mag, and rail.




Fits nicely in the bag with plenty of room for extra stuff, both inside & out.




...like this scope!







And the best part - it fits comfortably up in my LOBO.

Where did you get this from? I am looking to get one this summer/fall and that case is awesome.

Picked it up from my local range / shop. I was going to get it from Gander Mountain, but it seems like everything is on backorder EVERYWHERE.

Just use this and search your zip:

That's a steal! I learned to shoot (as I'm sure many others have) on a 10/22.

Absolutely great gun to have, I have put thousands of rounds down range with a couple of them. I have often thought of getting one and put a folding stock on it for portability, but since I already have 2 different 22s I could never justify another.

 

[Jack Stilts]

I'm taking it to the range tonight for the first time. I rented one before I bought it, so it will be the first time with MY rifle (and scope).

Also I should mention that it's "ladies night all day" at the range. Nothing screams "masculine" like a small caliber rifle and ladies night -___-

It's not the size of the gun, it is how you use it.

Is that what she keeps telling you??

That's a killer deal!

I've got a 10/22 as well. Pistol grip stock, decent scope, and about 5 10rd mags. I bought one of the cheap 25rd mags, but it was garbage and would never feed right.

I. Want. That. Bag. Btw

A quick side note on the 25-rd 10/22 mags:

Make sure they have metal feed ramps, like the Butler Creek Steel Lips. I have several and they've never been anything but reliable. I had the old BC Hot Lips (same mag with plastic feed ramps) and a couple of other brands, and my rifle was endlessly jamming. I thought it was the gun and was ready to swear off Ruger altogether. Turns out it was just cheap mags.

A 10/22 has been on my must have list for a while, really thinking I should get the take down now

Lolz. Also you cannot have it. You got awesome sliders, LET ME HAVE MY BAG.

Turns out it was just cheap mags.

I have Ruger brand 25-round mags on order. None of that cheap stuff. I've been pretty happy with my Ruger products.

Do ittttttttt. Love this thing. Do you see how easily it fits in a LOBO? It's like it was meant for it. Plus you can get everything you need for less than 500.


More goodies on order

In honesty, my 10/22 wouldn't fit in the bag. Its not a "Takedown" model. So you can keep your crappy bag. heh

 

[Jack Stilts]

Got my folding stock in! It's pretty. Has a pistol grip.

Pros:

Good quality
Looks cool
Pistol grip feels much better than the stock grip

Cons:

Pricey
Stock folds over onto the shooting hand, which...doesn't make any sense






I really wish I could get this picture to display properly, but I've been battling with Photobucket for 1/2 an hour...














I wanted this rifle to be an all-around carrier, adding the scope for long-range and the pistol grip for short range, BUT...I don't think it's going to happen that way. The scope is great, but when I fold the stock to use the pistol grip at short range, it's...awkward. The scope gets in the way, and there's not really a good way to hold on to the forend.

Honestly, if I could find a way to combine the 10/22 Tactical with the 10/22 Takedown, it would be PERFECT. The Tactical provides the pistol grip and folding stock, along with the picatinny rails to add a vertical grip on the forend.

/sigh.

Problem solved!

• Ditched the scope for a red dot sight (makes more sense for close range and long range) - has a vital quick-release
• Foregrip with an extremely bright LED light - also with the quick-release
• Ruger brand extended mags (25 round) - even with the backorders / shortages, they took three weeks to get

And finally, picked up 200 rounds for 7 dollars :uhhh:

I knew they were cheap, but I honestly thought it was a typo.

Nice! Good looking Ruger

 

[Roadwarrior]

I want one of these rather badly now

 

[NismoFire]

Best damn lil 22 you'll ever see.

 

[Jack Stilts]

I wanted to update this, mostly because I forgot about it.

I took all that tactical crap off. I made the mistake of trying to create this all-encompassing short / long range rifle.

Instead, it's long-range only. I took the foregrip thing off and put the red / green dot on my Mossberg 500. The rifle now has a scope on it, the 25-round mags, and the bag holds SO much:

4 25-round mags, safety glasses, rounds, and room for more. It's really awesome. And so damn accurate.

Maybe this year I'll budget for one..
