just got a 10/22, put a vx-1 leupould on it and a new trigger mod for a better pull, any suggestions for other mods to improve the rifle? The model ist the stainless ones and also having sling mounts installed on it. This is to be a carry around grouse getter so didn't want a bull barrel or anything. :)sounds perfect to me,I would get some extra clips..I have one and like it,no scope though..that will come later

Trigger, bolt buffer, bolt catch, hammer and sear. Extended mag release is very handy.

That is a great gun. I have been wanting to trick mine out, but don't want to spend the dough. Jackelope has the basics covered.. Its only money :chuckle: mine started as a little modding here and there now I'm a little north of $1000 :yike: . Should have just bought a Kidd 10/22.

I've got $200 into a barrel, about $80 in the stock and then a few random $30-40 puchases here and there in the internals. I want to send my trigger group out to that 1 guy on RFC and let him work his magic on it. I can't spend the $$ on a VQ trigger group.

I have a bicentennial model (made in the 200th year of american liberty) Would it be best to leave it stock for value, or are they all about the same value?

I'd leave it stock. I have a "Finger-groove" Ruger 10-22 that was only made from 1966 to 1971, and I didn't want to change anything on it. It even has the original Lyman 2 1/2 power scope on it, and a leather military-style sling. My uncle gave me a finger-groove stock for a 10-22 that he had to take with a bunch of reloading stuff he bought at a yard sale, and I sold it on Gunbroker for almost enough to buy a new 10-22! Incidentally, the new ones have a lot of plastic parts on them that used to be metal in the old days. Even the "stainless steel" ones aren't really stainless steel now. They are painted silver! :twocents:

Good Lord that's a lot of money to spend on a .22... :yike:. Can't speak for Que's work but I had Randy at CPC jewel my bolt , radius the bolt, tighten up the headspace and install all the VQ goodies imaginable in the action, he installed the VQ titanium trigger group with no over travel and a nice crisp 1 1/2# pull and let's just say it was well worth the coin.

I have Brocks in Spokane putting in a new trigger Assembly, $139 for the parts, and they are putting sling mounts on it as well. Thought about glass bedding the barrel but it is a stainless barrel and synthetic stock so not sure if it would even really work. Will probably at least wait and see how it shoots. Never even fired it yet. By the way, i always run a patch through the barrel and was totally shocked at how dirty it was. New off the shelf from Bi Mart. :yike:
Lots of crap in my new E.R.Shaw barrel when I ran a patch through it, too. New barrels are always full of junk...

Dang, just when i think i am done i find something else, the Volquartzen Tensioned Carbon fiber barrel with forward blow compensator in stainless, and the Rm4 stock. They have a fitting block for the barrel with closer tolerances too. The final thing may be a new bolt and slide. Income tax time come on. Now i am going to start having a bunch of parts left over. I will have to think of getting a new receiver, as it goes on and on and on. lol :IBCOOL:
That's why I decided not to start with a Ruger gun. I figured by the time I got done there wouldn't be much left of the Ruger anyway. I got all the action and parts from Tactical Innovations, the barrel from E.R. Shaw, and the stock from Boyds. The only thing that has the Ruger logo on it is the magazine! :chuckle:

The 10-22 has been around so long that you can build a whole gun from aftermarket parts, and use virtually none of the original gun. The magazines are still the best, though. I first shot a Ruger 10-22 in 1965! I'm looking forward to a Ground Squirrel shoot with my latest creation! :tup:
