Hi there. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the Mannlicher stock for the Ruger 10/22. I think it looks beautiful, but have noticed in a couple of online reviews that some folks think the stock affects the accuracy of the rifle. I'm thinking about switching out the factory carbine birch stock for something else, and the Mannlicher is near the top of my list of options. Thoughts? And where would be the best place to source a such a stock in Canada? Thanks!

I imagine I'll be proven wrong...but...I'd be very surprised if there was an aftermarket stock of this style for the 10/22. Certainly not a readily available/commerciallly-made one. Might be some boutique maker doing these...but again, it would be news to me.
My suggestion would be to simply seek out the 10/22 model that came with it and sell your carbine in one pc. if you don't feel you need 2 of these guns. A CGN sponsor lists this model, though out of stock at the moment; https://www.gotenda.com/product/ruger-1265-1022-rifle-22lr-18-5-101-mannlicher-walnut-stock-blued/ There are others who may have it, check the banner ads (links) to all the businesses at the top of the home page.
As for accuracy-10/22s are not overly accurate as a rule, without allot of work/upgrades. At least, the one I owned and most of the ones I've shot weren't. If you like the 10/22 platform, enjoy the gun for what it is and if accuracy is a real concern, bolt guns are an option. (one I far prefer to semis

Woaaaaaah. Total Mandela effect. I SWEAR I've seen Boyd's laminated mannlicher stocks but now I see no evidence of them. Maybe I'm thinking of some of the Ruger distributor specials?

My rule of thumb is 1" at 25 yards is about what you'll get from a base stock 10/22 with ammo it likes and without going nuts. If someone was claiming consistent 1/2 or 1" groups I'd suspect something was up.

I've owned 7 mannlicher stocked 1022 . The Mannlicher stock was introduced very early in the production of 1022 then dropped along with the finger groove stock. Early 90's introduced as a blued birch stock version and in the States as a Walmart version with grey laminate stocks.
Then in the mid 2000 as both blued and stainless walnut stock versions. Now out of production
You will have a tough time finding just the stock.

10/22 International
The stock is only available (as new) with the whole rifle. They're not sold separately unless someone who bought one just changed the stock for some...weird...unexplainable...reason.
Prophet River brought in a batch a few years back of the International model, and I luckily got my pick of the lot. Used rifles pop up now and then.

I’ve got a 10/22 Competition that has given me several 10rnd groups under 2” at 89M. Pm contact info for pics.

You will have to keep an eye out for a used. They make them every now and then in very limited production. The stock itself will be near impossible to find. They did make a few different versions, a walnut, grey laminate and I believe a stainless on walnut.
For me this is the one to get

The accuracy of my Ruger 10/22 stainless mannlicher stock (from BullsEye 4 years ago) at 100y is not bad at all. A grouping 1.2-1.5" is a norm. Will try to achieve 1MOA when the weather improves. I'm not sure if accuracy is due to just a mannlicher stock or a combination of a mannlicher stock+stainless steel barrel and parts. All in all, it's an excellent and a very beautiful carbine.

My stainless steel International 10/22 is the least accurate 10/22 rimfire I own. Compared to the other fixed barrel 10/22's it is plinkster grade. (All the other fixed barrel 10/22's I have use replacement bull barrels so no real surprise.)
I have been working on getting my 2 takedowns to deliver consistent accuracy, and they are now slightly more accurate than the international. Still a long way from the fixed bull barrel versions.
A lovely looking gun, comfortable to shoot and carry, but still the least accurate. Fine for plinking, I would not use at this stage for hunting.

So many good thoughts here. Much appreciated. Looks like the sanest way forward is to look for a complete unit, and then sell my carbine. Can do, though I'd hoped to play around with the 10/22 for a bit first, making some of the upgrades that have been notes above. Got to say though: the look of that rifle with the Mannlicher REALLY works for me. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Interesting. Can you show shooting results at 100y with your stainless 10/22 manlicher and other fixed barrel 10/22's you own, all influencing factors being equal? In general, there are number of factors that can affect accuracy like a quality of a gun, shooter's skills, weather etc. etc. Even shooting with a hard and soft rest can change the results with same gun. I read that for a 10/22 supposedly a different torque on a stock disassembly screw can have some influence on accuracy.

I really like rimfire rifle shooting, and in particular with the 10/22 system. I have been interested since I bought a cheap basic synthetic stocked version for a project about 10 years ago and was surprised at the difference a good barrel and some compatible ammo could make to accuracy and consistency.
When I buy a rifle, new or previously used, it gets stripped, cleaned, reassembled and lubed. I use a FatBoy torque wrench for the barrel / receiver / stock connections. It then gets 250-300 rounds down range as a break in exercise and check scope operation etc. Then it gets re-tighten again if necessary.
I shoot on a concrete bench, off a Hyskore rifle rest at 50m. 5 shots in @60 seconds, 50 rounds per type of ammo. (I use 5-9 different types of ammo, normally middle or lowish / high end target rounds such as Eley Sport / RWS Target / CCI Green Tag / Aguila Rifle Match.) There is a chronograph (CER) in place and I use a couple of different softwares to interrogate the results.
In short, with a heavy profile, fixed barrel 10/22 rifle I expect to get under 1.5 MOA across the board with several sub MOA results. With my two takedowns, same approach I get 1.5-1.25 MOA at best with most being 1.75-1.90 MOA. (I believe the scope needs to be barrel mounted to get better results. Mine are not.) And the international is @1.75 best result ever, normally 2-2.25 MOA.
Now I do admit that the International is bone stock, where all the fixed barrels and take-downs have been partially / extensively modified.
I have a library of about 900 target results ranging over 9 years for my 10/22 in the quest for the 'perfect set up'. To date, my best two are the original rifle with a Hogue stock and Dlask 16" barrel and a built from scratch Dlask TUF 22 + 16.1" Grey Birch Carbon Fibre barrel in a Hogue stock. These normally do sub MOA.

And there ya go. I'm talking about the base 10/22, not modified or target or competition.
My Rifle is stock from Ruger.
What it isn't though is the base model. "Base stock" means the basic 10/22 aka the carbine model. By no imaginable definition is a heavy barrel competition rifle the base model. It's one of the highest end 10/22s Ruger makes. It's one of the highest end .22 autoloaders period.
I would sure hope for that rifle to be closing in on MOA; that's the level performance you should expect from anything billing itself as a competition or target or varmint .22. There's no shortage of equally or more accurate rifles at that $1k ish price point, including building up your own 10/22 from a carbine.

I was in the same predicament as you last year. Had a plain jane carbine model and wanted the mannlicher. Ended up selling the carbine and bought model 1265 from tenda. The 1022 mannlichers come up frequently enough on the EE so you could wait it out and find one there. Good luck!
