Ruger 10/22
Recently sold a new 10/22 wood stock for over 900.00. It did have a box that had 50th anniversary emblem on it. Why was this gun so hot? Was it the box or what. It looked like every other 10 22 I see.

I've never been a real fan of the 10/22, but when I'm at the range with friends & they have their semi autos with 20 & 30 rd mags, nice scope and I'm plinking away with a Win 52, peep sights and 5 rd mags, well, the 52's more accurate but maybe not as much fun.
Saw & bought a Ruger 10/22 Target today for good price (heavy bbl & laminated stock) and am looking for some help on those little accessories Ruger fans seem to load up on. I don't want to go wild, just make the thing a little more convenient to shoot & accurate. Specifically:
1) I want to replace the trigger - any suggestions?
2) Is there a device that will hold open the bolt after the last
round?
3) Auto bolt release - is there a bolt release that allows the bolt
to go forward by pulling the bolt to the rear instead of having to
play with the release on the underside of the rifle?
4) Mag release - is there one that protrudes out so I don't have to
press the stock one in?
Finally,any feelings on whether the Ruger benefits from glass bedding either the action or barrel or both? How about free floating the barrel?
I don't want to go wild on this project - just put together a nice shooter.

I recall the reciever was aluminum. I could see the trigger group being plastic (I know Mossberg also has plastic "tg"). I never did understand why they still kept that clamp up front since the whole thing's held in place by that one screw by the "tg". As for things being plastic lower cost or they realized most folks swap them out so why make things that would last. 0 -
I have 8 ruger 10/22s from early to the later ones, I have yet to break a piece on any of them. I shoot the new plastic part one, it floats around in the front seat of the pickup, we dont have to have them cased. No problems.
Now if you are worried that you a going to be overun by the rabbits, out of ammo, and have to use it as a club as the last resort and it may be broken, that may be another concern.0 -
Change to plastic trigger guard and barrel band, along with funky painted receiver, happened in 2008 ... 0 -
I know lots of people upgrade their rugers with heavy barrels which require a change in stock and target trigger groups. You may be able to pick an older stock with the metal hardware and triggers fairly cheap. 0
