Ruger 10/22 Tactical

I have one, and I have to say I really like it. I have put around 1000 rounds through it. I have a cheapo canadian tire special BSA sweet22 scope on it. It was the cheapest scope I could find with target knobs.

Now keep in mind I am not a great shot, and a few people I have let shoot my gun have out shot me, getting a ragged one hole group at over 25 yards. But I am able to get consistent 4 inch groups at 100yards, not too sure if thats worth bragging about or not, but it is fun.
 
I noticed some forward "flex" when my son was shooting off the bench with the bi-pod legs fully extended. After tightening the bi-pod mount screw there was very little flex.
With the legs retracted, there is none so I'm sure its the legs that are "flexing".
When shooting off the bi-pod the barrel does not come in contact with the stock. I understand this may cause accuracy issues but I don't think it makes a difference on a .22lr?
The bbl on my Rem SPS Tactical .223 touches the front end of the stock when resting on the bi-pod but doesn't seem to affect the accuracy at all.

I know the general rule of thumb is 25 for wood, 45 for laminate and 60-65 for synthetic. That being said, since it's plastic and not fiberglass or kevlar fiber I think I'll try 45 lbs per square inch. Anyone have any suggestions for this?

I imagine it also depends not just on the stock material, but on whether the receiver metal is steel or soft Ruger aluminum.

I've read that for a 10/22 the action torque should be 20 inlbs, and the barrel block should be 20-25 inlbs. I've never played with the barrel block, but everytime I put the stock back on I use my torque screwdriver set at 20 inlbs. Then I will try to gently wriggle the action in the stock to see if it's oriented correctly, and try the 20 inlbs screwdriver again.

Didn't know the general rule on that, that's helpful. But you mean inch-pounds (torque), not psi (pressure).

Yup. Doesn't matter much, since the screwdriver I have on order is for firearms so it would be correct. But you're right.

Good point about the aluminum. Forgot about that. I'll give 20 a try. I'm a firm believer in trying not to over tighten it. If 20 works then that's great.
 
Anyways just speculating here, while I not so patiently wait for the rest of the parts to come in. The barrel has the comp on it, and is sitting in the stock. The bipod is already on the stock. It's almost a rifle. So close yet so far.
