New Version Ruger 10/22... Head's Up

[wayupnorth]

well that cheek piece just saved us lefties from buying a new $500 rifle , then a new scope, and of course you would need a new trigger of some kind.

looks very nice .

Thank you Mr.GrassHalfFull
haha!

Whut, no take down versions?

This is a takedown version... you undo the action screw and the metal separates from the wood, so you end up with two pieces... and it is 1/4" shorter OAL... guess you need a deep packsack.

I don't think he sold eight today... did you call about them?

 

[gun runner]

It seams that they are sold out, Clayton put up some pics and some info on the Prophet River business forum earlier today.

 

[hoytcanon]

Well... that was a little sales flurry... good for PR.

Iirc they got 10
Not that hard to sell 10 in all of Canada.

You just can't help yourself, eh?

 

[little_airwolf]

Nope. Your right. Im sure pics dont do the wood justice.
But its still no CZ. Is it.

 

[dak47]

Completely different game than my 3 different bolt CZ's.... For fun plinking games, so what?

Let us know when you switch barrels and upgrade triggers?

 

[Prophet River]

still two left...

Nice looking wood for sure, FS is not my cup of tea usually but I can say I would have likely picked up one of these if I didn't have another 10/22 in mind. (any one have a whistle pig barrel they want to get rid of?)

What does that even mean????

Most Mannlicher style stocks have the center portion of the forend "hogged out" to relieve the barrel, and then then last 1.5" or so at the muzzle are pressure bedded with the end cap securing the barrel to the stock... in my experience this does not adversely affect accuracy, in fact a couple of my most accurate rifles have been full stock rifles. On an individual basis it might affect the accuracy, just as any stock can ... of my three dozen or so fullstock rifles, only two required accurizing that may have been attributable to the forend... and these were dealt with in the same way that I would a regular stock.

Very nice full stock rifle; looking forwards to seeing some 50 yd targets once you get it set up.

Nice looking kit hopefully we get to see some actual shots at 50 and 100

Your having flashbacks to the playground again aren't you...

No... it is not a CZ... I have a rack of 452's and they are nice... but comparing this to a CZ is like comparing apples and oranges... CZ bolt actions are great for what they bring to the table and Ruger 10/22 semi's are great for what they bring to the table... and they are not bringing the same things. This Ruger 10/22 is a particularly nice version. To date, no manufacture has or likely will come up with a better magazine design than the Ruger rotary mag and it's spin-offs.
