10/22

[MrSmitty]

The newish Winchester Wildcat can use the 10/22 mag if they were awful, they wouldn’t done that..

So then the old saying "only accurate guns are fun guns" doesn't apply?

They are accurate enough for their target audience.

Off topic but if you Have not already Watched Paul Harrell’s review of the Wildcat I think you might enjoy it?

Waste of money. Change the the trigger, change the barrel,change the stock. OK that's kewl , but why? Why not start with savage they shoot right out of the box. There are several way better options in my opinion, but it's your money.
I will leave you with this, I shoot competition, I never see a Ruger anything on the line.

Since there are quite a few semi auto models which one would you recommend? Don't include ones with a chassis style stock please.

I also shoot competition and never see a Savage or any other high end gun on the line.
There are more competitions beside group shooting. Some actually involve speed.
In Steel Challenge the 10/22 dominates with a occasional AR/22 or Tippman.
Different games require different toys.

I kind of thought there must be someone out there that has used one for competition?

I think I have even noticed reviews on A Ruger Precision Rifle that was a 22lr. Sure it’s way pricey . But in my opinion I have had good experiences with all of Rugers offerings that I have purchased from my SR9c to rifles .

If something works well and is affordable yeah it’s probably going to be fine for me.

The 10/22 (even my takedown model) are short range tack drivers.
My son can split Q-tips at 50 yards. He is a much better shot than I am...but it shows what the 10/22 can do.

I think for many firearms are more accurate than the end user. For me I don’t get real hung up in getting things through the same hole using a rest. I am good if I can consistently hit a steel plate up to 75 yards off hand in a Houston we have a problem time frame.

Kicking around the idea of picking one up to go with the 14 and 30. The 30 is a bit pricey to shoot not liking steel and all, but my experiences with the Ruger carbines has been favorable.

So why not at a10/22 ammo is cheap and readily available, one of the things I was thinking about was a binary trigger, any have any experience with them ? Fun accessories or waste of money?

Thanks

Depends on the type of competition. I see a lot of 10/22s at Steel Challenge and Rimfire Challenge.

Edit:
I have two I use for steel challenge and they have been dependable for thousands of rounds.

Using a mag someone else has done all of the R&D on saves a bunch of money. They did incorporate a last round bolt hold open into their bolt/mag interface. The LRBO doesn't work unless you are using The OEM mags.
