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.

Well I finally am getting one of these with a nice barrel and a Hogue stock and Leupold scope. The only thing I believe it would need is some trigger work. Volquartsen is the likely choice but I was wondering if someone has some experience with another brand?
Also, did anyone make a reliable hicap mag for this gun? I can stick with the Rugers but I would like a couple of hicaps for fun.

10/22's don't come with scope rings (except for the 10/22mag). They only come with a tip-off scope base. 0 -
put in a custom sear and hammer first. 0 -
Cant say about the cabelas barrel never saw one in person. the heavy barrel i have on my 10/22 is a green mountain 20'' s/s fluted and it improved accuracy alot.
to change the barrel loosen the stock retaining bolt put the saftey in center position [ between safe and fire ] pull action from stock. then remove the two barrel block retaing bolts, slide the barrel straight out of the reciever, slide the barrel block out of the barrels dove tail and insert it into the new barrel. put the barrel into the receiver Align the extractor in the center of the extractor slot cut in the barrel. reinstall the barrel block bolts amnd torque to specs[ i just go by feel remember the receiver is aluminum ]. hope this helps sounds more complicated than it is, takes about 20 min.
I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be damn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.

No personal experience w/ Cabela's.
Butler Creek's are good, so's Midway's Adams & Bennett are Green Mtn. are excellent ... as an fyi I've heard from multiple sources that Midway's A&B are very closely related to Green Mtn.[;)]
Trigger improvement will also go a long way as you can have the best barrel in the world and a "crappy" trigger and your accuracy will suffer.
Then don't forget the stock ... you'll need a new one to handle the .920 barrel.
If you really want to tune your 10/22 up and your pretty handy with tools and stock finishing you can put together a pretty nice one for $300-500

After you email C.M. send me one and I'll hook you up with a wealth of information on 10/22's too. 0 -
i just bought a new ruger 10/22 T and put a scope and rings on it. also put lightened trigger springs in it and it is a tack driver. very consistant on shots. remember if you put a target barrel (.920) then you have to replace the stock also.

There are carbon fiber barrels that are specifically made to fit the factory contour stocks. I am going to get one for my 10/22. It also still has open sights on it (fiber optic). I like that since I use raised scope mounts for distant targets and open sights for close-in work.
Whether it gains you anything, it's hard to tell. My main 10/22 was pretty accurate and my factory 10/22T (target) with heavy hammer forged barrel was very accurate. You might be able to find more accurate results by simply switching ammo. Some of them seem to really like certain ammo.
Good luck.0 -
Bambihunter is correct about the ammo preference. I have a 200th year 10/22 that will only shoot CCI Minimags, and a newer stock 10/22 that likes Winchester ammo. Even after modifying your rifle, you should take as many different brands and types of shells as you can find to the range and give 'em a try. 0
