Have a 10/22 heavy barrel laminate wood stock I got in an auction about 10 years ago ($300!!!), mfg. date was in the 80s best I can recall - new in box, never fired, Added a Harris bipod and Tasco scope (9x I think) It can ring a 3" gong at 100 yards without missing .. (CCI Mini Mags)
Pretty much stock, standard and straight forward but.... some things really bug me about it that I want to improve. Let me be clear, accuracy is absolutely fine - not really looking to tinker with that, being said:
1. Scope, just a cross hair is a pain when using different ammo. I'll sort that out on my own, ignore the entry level scope.
2. Magazine release ... Arrgh! it sucks.
3. Charging "handle" painfully bad.
So, the charging handle, so far the only way I have seen to address this is by replacing the bolt - with a very expensive aftermarket bolt. Is this true? Are there any other options?
Now the adjustable trigger is related to the magazine release, I see that Timney has a trigger pack with an integral magazine release as does Kidd (with the release being a separate part) however, neither seem to advertise as being adjustable for weight, just creep and over travel.
I'm not above spending the $400ish for a slightly improved trigger if it also addresses the mag release but I would want it to be adjustable - are there any (adjustable) options?
Like I say - accuracy is more than fine - I'm trying to find ergonomic options here
