Truck gun build

[Coastie465]

So I just picked up a used 10/22 for a truck gun.  I was going to make a nice target rifle out of it but decided to stick with my 17hmr. I want to hot rod it a bit but not spend a ton on a gun that will be rattling around in my gun rack all the time. Here is what I have done so far:
Sanded down and painted  the old wood stock olive drab
Installed a brand new standard carbine barrel
Ordered weaver see thru rings that mount straight to the receiver
Ordered extended mag release bolt release and bolt buffer

I am going to order an extended charging handle and do a bit of polishing to clean up the trigger pull. Any other suggestions?

For a truck gun about the only other I would do is throw in a polymer buffer.

Folding stock!

Keep the mag in the cup holder, the gun wedged between the center console and seat, just grab and go

Obviously I have been living on the wet side way too long!

So I just picked up a used 10/22 for a truck gun. 

My first thought was: "why would you build a gun to shoot trucks?"

My second though was: "Oh he meant a gun for his truck"!

My third thought was: "some meth maggot is going to have a nice gun to sell!"

I then stopped thinking ......

There's not too many critters you legally shoot with a .22lr.  If you're really looking for a grab and go wouldn't you be better off with an o/u in a  7mm/20ga?  Obviously i'm not being critical on the suggested caliber.  Rather something you could shoot any legal mammal and bird with.

If it's truely grab and go then you probably don't want a scope since you'll likely be close (road hunting).

Its mainly for grouse and the occasional rabbit. I bow hunt everything else. With the hi mount see thru rings I ordered I will have the iron sights for up close and be able to use the scope to reach out a bit. I started on it today by doing a trigger job (thanks YouTube). Reduced trigger pull down to around three pounds. I also did some polishing and cleaned up the action a bit. I am considering a tapco stock. Wow its way too easy to dump a lot of money into a little gun but at the same time its fun.
