10/22 suggestions..thoughts

[goofin]

trying to decide just what version to buy. Im thinking about a carbine with the 16 1/8" barrel. i wont be doing any shooting over 75 yards.

is there any advantage going with a bull barrel?
as for optics, I have to wear bifocals so i need something with as much eye relief as posible. was thinking of a 42mm red dot scope or maybe even upgrading the stock sites to tech sites

My thoughts on a 10/22 around 200 for the gun and then prepare to spend at least 200 if not more making it yours. I love my 10/22.

in the end, my guess is you will end up changing a lot out on it. it happens and its normal evoloution... lol

purchase the one you want, but the factory barrel isnt the greatest for accuracy. not to say it will be all over the place, but it wont hold one hole groups at 50 yards.

i didnt realize just what is available for the 10/22. im thinking 16" barrel whether its a standard or a bull.( more than likely a threaded bull barrel)
tapco stock. and some decent optics for it. it wont be long before the grandson will be shooting so i may just have to pick up a pair of them...what a shame

get the bull, and some guy like me with the factory contour removed would be more than happy to sell it for a cheap price so you can have both... lol

Before you do anything with your 10/22 talk to these guys first:
They did my rifle a few years ago, using the stock factory barrel. The only thing I added was a Hogue stock. The thing looks plain Jane but shoots moa. Their services are top notch. Almost forgot, here's the website: http://www.ct-precision.com/

Here's who the are and what they do:

Connecticut Precision Chambering, L.L.C.
1548 Saybrook Road
Middletown CT 06457
1-860-343-0552
11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (wait 8-9 rings)


10/22 Gunsmith Notes: Ruger 10/22 barrels are cut with a standard SAAMI .22 reamer which cuts .062" too deep. Production speed machine reaming often leaves burrs in throat and chambers not concentric to bore. Aftermarket barrels have tighter, shorter chambers (sometimes too tight) than the SAAMI print but seldom short or concentric enough for maximum accuracy.

CPC designs its own reamers for the 10/22 called CPC Freebore chamber for ideal function and accuracy. Setback is .187" to .250" on breech end. The newly cut area on barrel shank is oversize for a 'line to line' tight fit into the receiver stabilizing the two parts. A steel spacer is cut and hand fit into the barrel lockdown cut to insure proper retightening. CPC fits a reamer pilot to the exact bore size and re-reams each barrel by hand. New chamber throat and crowns are cut concentric to bore within .0002".

Customer results at 50 yards: .25 to .56".

Ends of blued barrels are re-cold blued
Setback breech end by .187 to .250". Shorten chamber, recut barrel shank oversize to fit receiver hole perfectly
CPC semi-auto match freebore chamber reams until a Winchester Power Point, Eley, or CCI bullet lightly sticks. These are used as gauges since all .22 L.R.s will work except some longer .22 Hyper-velocity's.
Chamber polish

Bolt side is beautifully prism jeweled
A hole is E.D.M.'ed and a stainless dowel pin pressed in over the front of the firing pin to hold it from raising up, reducing flyers and to get more consistent firing pin strikes.
