What's your prefered 10-22 stock and why?

[teddy12b]

I've got a all weather 10-22 and when I first bought it I put a black hogue stock on it for the standard weight barrel because it's much more comfortable than the factory stock and it made it my own. I just switched it back to the factory stock tonight because the plastic let the mags drop easier than the hogue rubber does. I'd still like to put some kind of a different stock on the gun, I just don't know what yet.

I don't shoot my 10-22 much at all so I'm not in any big hurry, but I was thinking about a side folding stock. I'm just curious about what other people like and why. No wrong answers here.

I have a Butler Creek side folder and love it. Has the same LOP as the original stock. I had the same problem with mag not wanting to drop out. Nothing a little finesse work with some sand paper wont fix. I find that I have more room to really get down in line with the sites with the Butler Creek. Also like the feel of the pistol grip.

I like the Hogue OM series stocks. Feels good to me, and I like the way they look. You may want to sand or trim out around where the magazine inserts so it will drop free. I have 2 and I think they are cool.....

I have the same stock and really like it. I do not have problems with the mags droping out of mine.

That's what I'm talking about.

I have owned folding stocks on a number of firearms and never really cared for them.

Really depends on the end purpose of the rifle. One 10/22 is set up primarily for target work with a 8X24 power scope. It has a stainless .920 barrel on it and a laminated stock making this a heavy package. As this was set up for paper punching the heavy stock adds stability.

On the other end of the spectrum was this 10/22 built with light weight in mind, I can shoot this offhand like a pistol. Boyd Stock and lightweight Tactical Solutions barrel.

I like the fixed pistol grip or folders offered by Choate. They are durable, light, and last forever. Look good too.

I have the Tapco T-6 on mine. Not bad for $60-70 and adjustable. Had the same problem with the factory mags not dropping out. Sandpaper cleared that right up.

I've been thinking about a tapco too. I like being able to make a 10-22 compact with a folding stock, but then shooting it won't be as comfortable. The Tapco seems like a good deal too, but I've read that you can't use your iron sights with that setup.

I have one with a Volquartsen laminate that I really like.

Look into the choate forlder. Unlike the Tapco, you can easily remove the gun from the stock without removing a bunch of screws. Far superior to the Butler creek folder in my opinion. Midway I think has them.

I purchased one that already had an ATI side folder with pistol grip and adjustable stock. I'm pleased with it so far.

i just run the stock wood stock it is going to get beat up why spend the money on a stock that is just going to be mistreated. i use my 10/22 and i run them hard and the stocks tend to show it but i am thinking about redoing my wood stock with a darker stain.

 

[john67103]

definatly the hogue black stock. It does take a little modification so the mags don't stick but after that I don't have to worry about the weather affecting the wood or the stock getting slick in the rain.

I wish ruger would bring back the international I like it better than the carbine stock.... but if making a custom the boyds are really nice.

 

[tradertator]

I love the International model. As far as aftermarket, I prefer the Hogue.

 

[mikerccie]

Hogue over-moulded for me - I'm a righty that shoots long-guns left handed and I just stayed with a "normal" stock profile.

 

[gdkaiser]

I would love to have a international with a bull barrel and a match chaber and well you get the idea!

I have one (maybe two?) of these sitting in my garage that I'd trade away for darn-near nothing!
