Own 2, great guns, reliable, can run through a box of 500 without a hiccup. Only 2 other .22 rifles even come remotely close to it in reliability & general utility but both are tube mag guns. So the Ruger kills both for reloading ease. And aftermarket parts? Fuggetaboutit!

If you run across either of these, 1980s & earlier are the good ones, Browning SA-22 (semi-auto), Remington Fieldmaster (pump-action).

clamhurt_legbeard ago

heck yes

pump action is so cool

we shot my dads nylon 66 growing up

i think it holds 14 or so

and then you start the reloading process lol

as for my 10/22 i dont think ive had a single hiccup yet

robot7247 ago

I have the mental conversation often, "If I could only grab 1 gun...". Have to admit the 10-22 is nearly always a contender. So much you can do with them for accuracy tuning also.

Main things were bedding the stock (Acraglas) and trigger. For the trigger, a major improvement was just putting a piece of business card between the trigger & actuator button.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

mine has seemed decent so i have worked with it at all

the great thing about the 10/22 is with magazines and semi auto its not entirely retarded to use in self defense

more accurate than a pistol

and you cant miss fast enough to win

clamhurt_legbeard ago

get yourself a 10/22 charger and put a pistol brace on it

sbr with no paperwork

robot7247 ago

This is why I come here!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

isnt it pretty lol

they make takedown chargers too in case you want to add longer barrels to your pistol lol

thedirtypuma ago

Great read as always. It's kind of nice when you do a gun that I already own so I don't feel the urge to buy something new. Except I wouldn't mind getting a takedown version. They are easier to clean.

Did you ever do any work to the trigger on yours?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i havent done anything to mine yet

its never stood out as needing improvement

ive been more focused on the sights

originally i had a 1 to 6 variable but its mounted just a little too far forward

plus the added weight is noticeable

so i am going to possibly get a tiny red dot

Zinnsee ago

Quality post about a quality rifle. I own a 10/22 takedown myself and absolutely love it.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

heck yeah

do you have the magpul stock too

Zinnsee ago

No I have the original stock, but I thought about the magpul. Who knows maybe in the future.

And my favorite upgrade is the suppressor.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

mine is the stock but a suppressor is excellent

Zinnsee ago

do you have a red dot or a scope or even iron sights?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i had a 1-6 variable but its at the very forward edge of usability and makes the gin noticeably heavier

i have a red dot on my ar and used it on the 22 once

at the moment im using my magpul x22 mount as the rear sight

kind of like buckhorn sights

but i think i want tiny pistol red dots on all guns now

Karbuster ago

My dad has a Ruger 10/22 from when he was a kid, one of the finest .22s ive ever shot i hope i am listed for it in his will

Also WTF took you so long to do a review on one of the single greatest .22s in existence?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude

i checked several times to make sure i didnt already do it lol

short answer is

there are so many cool guns lol

Nadeshda ago

This is such an awesome article! This really interests me, the history is cool. I got pulled away with family stuff, sorry I couldn’t hang about much tonight.

I just so appreciate you and all this that we are learning along the way, together!

I am knackered so crashing soon, have a great remainder of your night!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude im tired too

band practice

now i need to cook dinner

then get up early for work

Nadeshda ago

Yeah, life waits for no one and we better work hard and smart as the world hates our whiteness and we are dwindling into extinction. In ten years finding someone with blue or green eyes will be a hard task... :/

clamhurt_legbeard ago

my baby is blonde with blue eyes

well see what his siblings look like

im doing my part lol

Nadeshda ago

We are all blue and light greened-eye peoples in my fam, I am doing my part! :)

clamhurt_legbeard ago

im hazel

i didnt know i had it in me lol

Nadeshda ago

I am so glad you pushed that one out! :)

ifuckdolphinseverday ago

The 10/22 is a great .22 platform and out performs my 597 or savage m(who knows) but i'd give a shout out to the M&P 15/22 as a .22 purpose build AR frame so its great for training.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude my dad has one of those but i havent shot it

it does seem well designed for training tho

AlexanderMorose13 ago

I need to get one. I have a Henry .22 lever action rifle, and I love that plinker. It's got a slow reload, and it obviously wasn't designed for sustained firing, but it's so damn accurate! I love hitting targets like cans or bottles at my friend's farm.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude yes

i dont have a lever action

i need one

CheeBooga ago

Got one. Still like my Marlin model 60 better.

Rellik88 ago

That my first gun. I need another so bad.

CheeBooga ago

I see 'em in the local paper almost every week. I prefer the 70's or 80's ones, though.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

ive only shot the 10/22 and nylon 66

what do you like about the marlin

i bet theres a reason its sold twice as many as the ruger lol

robot7247 ago

Nylon 66 is an interesting piece. Did you know they are supposed to float? The stock is hollow and a big air bubble.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol we never tried that

its funny for me because everybody always grows up on a ruger or marlin

we had the nylon 66

i never had a ruger until just last year lol

robot7247 ago

Not me, my mom was a Sears mom. I could get anything I wanted as long as it was sold by Sears, Ruger wasn't.

Saved up fpr a Model 6C (made by Mossberg) kind of a clunker. Traded it for a Stevens 520, I got better end of that.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

looks pretty slick dude

CheeBooga ago

My Marlin has better accuracy because marlin has micro grooves and the 1022 doesn't.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

aw dang

what kind of accuracy were you getting from each

CheeBooga ago

My Model 60's gets a lot tighter pattern. With the Ruger its just not acceptable to me. I bought it years ago thinking I would love it but nope nope nope. It sits there, all alone. Once in a while one of my buddies will shoot it and I make fun of their shitty marksmanship. lol

clamhurt_legbeard ago

thats interesting

i heard how you tighten the action screw can impact it a lot

but i havent experimented myself

CheeBooga ago

I never tried that so IDK. Answer me this: Have you ever had a red dot scope get all sticky? I can't figure out why one of mine did this recently unless the battery shorted or something?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

dude no

that might be a battery

then again knowing me itd be beer

check it and wash it

mine is waterproof so i could just soak it for a while

CheeBooga ago

Mmmm beeer.

Water has no effect on it whatsoever. I tried. Bizarre shit. Gives me an opportunity to buy something new!!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

bro heres the tip

try water

then alcohol

then oil

that combo will dissolve 90 percent of everything

CheeBooga ago

I swear I did. No effect whatsoever. lol Alcohol was right after water. Then I tried to oil it and its as sticky as it was before I did anything! I then sprayed WD-40 on it because what could be sticky after that? This Red Dot, that's who. Again, bizarre shit. I asked a handful of people that I know who are experts in guns and they didn't have an answer, either. They probably thought I was messing with them.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

did you jack off on it

we need a navy opinion

CheeBooga ago

kek I'm not saying no, I will say that it's possibru?
