ruger 10/22's?

[bankwalker]

well yea thats why i dont plan on actually hunting them with a 22...

even though its a coyote i would still hate to wound one and not find it...

but if im out shooting rage rats and one happens to walk by within range...i wouldnt mind taking a shot at it. BUT idk if a 22 is really good to hunt them with. thats why i asked if anyone hunts them with one.

really a 22-250 bullet is not much bigger then a 22lr...thats why i was wondering...

My cousin has one thats pretty hooked up. I'll try to get some pics of it. Its just hard for me to want to get $500.00+ on a 10/22.

get A 25 round clip or bigger and just lelt loose on em.

[mossback91]

I think the biggest one availible is a 50 rd clip. I beleive they have 10rd 25rd 30 rd and 50 rd clips.

[bankwalker]

yea my buddies use 30rd clips in them most of the time. and just let loose on the targets.

i also agree on spending $500+ on a 22lr is a bit much. but man they are fun to shoot and really accurate when you take the time to build them right.

ill buy a 22-250 or 223 when and if i decide to hunt coyotes and animals of equal size.

the 50rd clip is a blast to shoot but it gets annoying to reload

[jackelope]

get a hot lips speed loader.

I've thought about tricking out my 10/22 but then I can never justify the money. I guess I don't see the need for the bull barrel on a .22. I would much rather shoot my .17 even if it is more $$ to shoot.

yeah thats been the one reason that has stopped me from getting one in the past...cause if i get one i will have to trick it out.

How many of you guys use the banana clips for your 10/22, I think they suck, I have one and it always jams. You can only really put like 15 rounds in them.

[GoldTip]

Bowhuntin, I've never really liked the banana clips either, just never had very good luck with them.  They seem to jam about every other loading it seems to me.

As far as being able to trick out a standard 22lr to shoot 22mag rounds, it's not possible, far as I know.  Totally different length of action.  There quite a bit more wallop to a 22mag than the 22lr.  But if given the chance, I'd shoot a coyote quite readily with a 22lr if he was under a 100yards.  Many people don't realize just how deadly a 22lr can be, it certainly would not be unethical to shoot a coyote with one, and I doubt the validity of the claim that you'd only find 1/3 of the ones you hit.  Unless of course your taking a Texas heart shot.

i see on rugers site they make 10/22magnum...is that the actual 22mag round?

[GoldTip]

Bankwalker, yes I do believe there is a 10/22mag that actually shoots the 22mag cartridge, and someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the 22mag is a slightly larger caliber than is the 22lr, to prevent the 22mag from being chambered in the 22lr.  Something like a 22lr is .221 and a 22mag is .222 or something like that.

[jackelope]

it is possible to do a 10/22 to .17 conversion, which would be neat, but you could also just buy a .17 for the same price as what it takes to convert one.

Ya you can I think you just need to buy another barrel, same mags.
