Tack driver 10/22 build

[OneBadV8]

I'm a synthetic stock guy. I think it's hard to beat the new adjustable B&C that's out there.

Which one would that be?

I would guess this one. Bell & Carlson Ruger 10/22 Stocks - Odyssey 3-Way Adjustable Butt - .920" Bulls FWIW I really love B&C stocks in general and stockysstocks is fantastic to deal with.

 

[SamW]

That would be the one. I believe Fajen is now making an adjustable synthetic 10/22 stock as well that is slightly cheaper. I've seen it in a few stores now.

 

[OneBadV8]

That's the one I thought you meant... I have one on my 10/22 and love it. I would recommend it to anyone.

What you are experiencing is common with Richard's. Over on Rimfire Central this is the big problem with Richard's, slow to ship and won't return calls But, they do have a great product.

Souped up Ruger 10/22s

I have seen a lot of beautiful souped up 10/22s over the last couple of years. I have seen them in gunbroker for nearly $1000.00. How much is the gentleman who started this thread going to spend on making his tackdriver with all of the discussed bells and whistles? I am interested in having one built for me or buying one that is already completed with all of the bells and whistles. If I jump into something like this, I would rather not string it out for months. I just want the finished product to work right out of the box.

Then buy a CZ 452 Varmint and be done. Anytime you combine low-powered, dirty rounds, match tolerances, and semi-auto production guns, it's not going to 'work right away' unless you're very lucky.

typically just under 1k however it can be less depending on options... i would offer to build you one but they are so simple i would feel bad charging my normal wages on a 10/22 build... do some quick searchs or send me a pm and we can discuss some of the options that are out there.

your statement is entirely untrue.... without much work at all a 10/22 can be made into a great performer even when you combine match tolerances.... accuracy will never compete with an equal value bolt gun, but then again its semi auto.... luck has nothing to do with a properly functioning gun, rather the amount of work, attention to detail, will provide a quality outcome.

second, this thread is customizing 10/22's and you are reccomending a bolt gun? WTF?

You beat me to it. There are millions that have gone before me and have very accurate and smooth running guns. All it takes is a little research to see what has worked for others.

Right now I have a little over $280 into this one plus the cost of the original gun($190). I am keeping track of the man hours I have into it as well. The majority of the time will be spent on the stock as they come ruff cut. I am trying to keep the cost down on this one to make it easy to duplicate and sell. My next build will go farther into the "bells and whistles" and cost much more. Thats the great thing about a custom 10/22, you don't have to spend a fortune to have a great looking, accurate gun. Rimfirecentral.com is a wealth of info on these and you can pick up a custom 10/22 for a reasonable sum most of the time in their forsale section.

I have spent the last 2 days calling trying to talk to someone. I have left messages and sent emails. NO responce. They had no problem taking the order, but now they have fallen off the face of the earth. I don't care how good your product is if you have a complete lack of any type of service. I love how the stock looks, but have lost all confidence in them. I don't want to get the wrong one or a damaged one, and have no way of getting ahold of them!!!!! Not a good way to run a business.

I've been getting some PMs asking what I did to the bolt. Aside from the polishing, I chamfered the rear of the bolt. I found a good explaination of it here.

Don't get me wrong, I've built more than a few 10/22's, including several that ran like gangbusters...but they all involve tweaking, careful ammo selection, etc.

I'm just warning him to not expect to be able to grab any 'ol box off the wallymart shelf and have his franken-22 run slick as glass and be a 1/4 MOA rifle.

If you want ga-run-teed bang and tiny little groups, it's a much more certain route to go with a bolt gun.

i dont think he ever stated that was a requirement. and the cz is not a 1/4 moa rifle either.... come to think of it, i dont know of any "off the shelf" .22's within a reasonable price range for a non competitor that will shoot .25 inch groups at 100 yards....

 

[SamW]

You're right. It was an exagguration on my part to illustrate my point. My apologies for the thread de-rail. The 'off-the shelf' comment caught me.

 

[Spot Me 2]

Change of plans. Since the richards stock is one that will take a lot of work to finish, it will be going on my next build. I said I wanted to keep this one easy to reproduce so I ordered a Revolution Tundra stock today for this build. Here is a pic of what it looks like. Again, Mine will be a different color.

 

[IndyGunworks]

i would have still waited on the richards... those finger grooves look nice

It will be used in the next build. The 10/22 with no ruger parts.

 

[SamW]

Plan on using an MOA receiver? A threaded 10/22 is tempting.

This is the Fajen I was thinking of. For this price, it's hard to beat! Combine that with the $10 off coupon in the latest cabelas catalog, and you have yourself a pretty smokin' deal.
