this gun started out with a wood carbine stock. it was acceptable and may make a return as a full length "international" but I re-stocked it with a black hogue stock. I was not aware that they made their famous stock to accept a .600" barrel until recently. I found one for a good price. had a chance to shoot it for a first time this evening. as well as the stock, I had a new charging handle come in the mail today, which I literally dropped in my gun and fired 300 rounds without a single failure. I tried the same thing with a VQ charging handle and found it to be a real piece of junk. just did not work in my gun without some serious filing and even then, it was still gritty. my new handle is made by rimfire technologies. flawless functioning of the gun on its first outing.
I thought this was a pretty good group
the image is a bit dark, I apologize. the sling I bought just a short while ago so its still being broken in.
I wanted to keep this gun with open sights as well as achieving a certain level of accuracy. so I figure going with a high quality barrel and sights is a good way to compensate for the lack of magnified optics. in a couple of weeks I will have a chance to try this gun on some gophers and want to try some long distance shooting. somewhere in the 200ft range, as the farthest I have shot my 10/22 in its current form is 75 feet.
