The Czickness XII: The Usual Suspects.

[wtburnette]

Just easing into a nice day off with a mild hangover. Just got back from meeting maan and picking up a nice Ruger 10/22. Gonna be a great day

Sounds like you picked a winner for taking a day off weather wise Tom. Have fun with the 10/22.

 

[88E30M50]

WTB: What are the plans for the 10/22? Is this just a plinker or are you planning on having some fun with it? I have a 10/22 that I have not had out of the safe for a couple of years and am now starting to think that it might be a fun project rifle. I've toyed with making it into an M1 Carbine clone, but it really needs a red dot or scope for me to shoot it comfortably.

Morning folks.

Honestly, I picked it up for those new to shooting. I was talking to an old friend this past weekend and he said his 14 year old daughter would like to learn to shoot. I have a couple of .22's now that would be good to start her on, but figured having a .22 rifle for new or newer shooters would be a good idea as well. I just happened to come across the classified ad where maan was selling his 10/22 and thought what the heck. This way I'm very nicely setup for new shooters.

Morning folks.

Morning maan...

I was shocked that traffic wasn't bad at all this morning. That being said, as I was sitting at the light on the off-ramp for I-65 at Whiteland Rd., a car got smoked by another vehicle. A semi partially obstructed my view so I couldn't see exactly what happened but it was a very hard impact which sent one of the vehicles spinning.

 

[wtburnette]

Ouch, that sucks.

 

[maansmit]

Ouch, that sucks.

Yeah, it looked unpleasant for the two vehicles involved. Fortunately, it was the opposite direction from where I was going so it didn't impact me.

How did it go?

No joy.

May have finally killed the last supporting adult for the nest over the driveway. I know I've knocked down at least a dozen heading for or eyeballing that nest..
Next target is about 50 yds from my seat on the porch. Anschutz and a solid rest make it possible, if not easy.

Midway USA stocks several bbls including the stainless tgt bull bbl that Ruger uses on the target model. Only about $105. Just bought one to try in a build I'm working on. For most accuracy/$ spent, Kidd or Fedderson would be my bbl picks in that order. You can buy more expensive 10/22 bbls if you're searching for ultimate accuracy. Lilja still makes a drop-in, I'm pretty sure. But for the money, a Kidd is real hard to beat.

 

[maansmit]

Just ordered a new set of grips for my new to me Rami.

 

[RustyHornet]

I like my 10/22. First gun I ever bought/shot. Have kept it simple for now. Volquartsen trigger parts, bolt release mod, bolt buffer and some tech sights. Someday I'd like to put a heavy barrel on it.

Good info. I need to pull it out of the safe and make a plan for it. Not sure of the direction yet

 

[maansmit]

My scope should arrive today.

What have I done?

Takin the spouse to eye surgeon this morning.

Takin the spouse to eye surgeon this morning.

Hope that all turns out well for you and her.

 

[88E30M50]

Good morning folks!

Hope it's nothing serious at the eye surgeon. One thing I really treasure is my sight. Hopefully, whatever she's there for turns out in her favor.

Congrats on the PCR Cobber. I've become a real fan of the compact CZ format over the years.

 

[patience0830]

Hope that all turns out well for you and her.

Laser procedure to limit pressure caused by glaucoma. Did one eye two weeks ago. Second one today to make a matched set.
