    With a decent scope, and ammunition your stock 10/22 likes you should be able to shoot 0.7" 10 shot groups at 50yds with a stock 10/22 from a rest. Get a decent trigger pull weight, and possibly get it down to 0.6" 10 shot groups from a rest.
    To get much better than that you'll have to spend a small fortune.
    That might be just a wee bit generous.

    If you got one that will do that, you got the pick of the litter.

    50yds off rest 2-7x Vortex Rimfire scope. Notice the Ely force 10 shot group 0.673"
    On 7x power.

    I think if I had a 12x 14x or 16x scope on it I could reduce all those groups a little more.

    You all might want to check out this thread.
    More groups shot by others as well to look at.

    I second this.
    Good lord. The elitism is strong here.

    We get it. the 10/22 isnt a precision tack driver that will punch oblong .23" holes in paper like "yours*" OOB. And will probably never reach that level of accuracy. They were never designed to do that.

    So knock it off already.

    If you want a "precision .22 rifle circle jerk" go make an Anschutz or Walther thread. Quit crapping on OP's thread.

    JFC.

    *Not just you personally 55. Everyone who insists on crapping on OP's post.

    Liked the Titan stock for bench, but wish it had more of a traditional grip to be usable as a hunter.
    Honestly, the best feeling and looking 10/22 stock IMHO was the old "fingergroove" sporter.
    Why the heck Ruger hasn't done a synth version of that I have no idea. Black, w checkering, rubber pad, and a stainless action/bbl.............that should have been the anniv model IMHO.

    I've never handled one but still know I'd like it better than the current style.

    My wrists are problematic and I find the vertical grip in general use to be uncomfortable.
    Like the more gentle grip of a Ruger #1. But then those felt good to me before getting old/beat up.

    Love the flush fit mag of a 1022.
    Off and on I still think about building a sporter.

    A 20" sporter bbl, no sights, on a repro fingergroove walnut stock, bedded, w aftermarket receiver.....gloss Leupold EFR 3 -9x.

    Lot of $ for something id rarely use. Heck i have two .22 rifles now and proly get rid of one.
    My tree rat hunting days are few and far between.

    I’d like to hear what upgrades made the biggest difference on your Ruger 10/22. I’ve upgraded the stock and bought the “upgraded” Ruger trigger but would love to hear the best upgrades others have done. Or what upgrades made the biggest difference.

    Thanks!
