Im curious, how easily is the barrel replaced ? Any one have 1 inch groups at 100 yards ?

Not entirely sure if I want a semi 22 or a savage bolt 22.

All I do is target, I like to have good groups. Working the bolt on a 22 gets a little annoying after a while.

is 100 yards to far to ask from a ruger 10/22?

Moa at 100 yards is attainable with a 10/22, but you will likely spend more than you paid for the gun to get there, and you will have to use better quality ammunition. My Volquartsen semi auto easily shoots sub moa at 100 yards with it's favorite load, but although it may look like a 10/22, the only thing that they have in common is the magazine.

Wood stocks don't agree with me. I dunk my rifles in oil due to unfixable humidity problems.

Getting oil in the bedding area, is a good way to keep from ever seeing the accuracy potential of a rifle.
 
Hmm perhaps a Savage Mark II then or a marlin of similar sort. If you go the Ruger 10/22 route you'll most likely have to buy a new stock, bull barrel, and competition trigger to get nice tight groups at 100 yards.
 
And even then it's a bit of a crap shoot getting a 10/22 to group well. People have spent 5x more than the gun is worth and still not gotten awesome groups. The 10/22 is a fine little semi-auto 22. But trying to get it to be a sub-MOA laser-beam is the sort of hobby that appeals to people that enjoy spending money.

Figuratively dunk.

From a lot of the feed back it seems that a bolt gun will be the way I go.

I gathered that you didn't actually dunk your firearms, but you can really mess up the accuracy. just by spraying on an oil or rust preventative, and letting some run into the bedding area before you wipe it off.
 
Yep. Bolt is the way to go. They are right. Kidd, Volquartsen and maybe Magnum Research can do 1 moa. However you need the best ammo, optics and wind conditions. Skill ontop of that = $1200-3000 Have fun dropping 1+ months paycheck for 1 moa out of a 10/22.
It still is $450+ for a good bolt action and $500+ for optics to get 1 moa.
Anyone who says they can do it for less is either a pro or b.s.
 
ive got a 10/22 i build that i think im into it for $1400 and its a dream to shoot, love it.
i also have a Savage BTVSS and while its ok to shoot its...... just ok.

ya get what ya pay for i guess.
while youll never get the accuracy out of a high end semi that you can out of a high end bolt i still prefer the semi.
ive got lost of semi's and ive got just as many bolts - its just personal preference is all.

and here is 10 rounds at 100yrs with a $1400 10/22 shooting normal CCI Blazzers

keep in mind, you can buy alomst 6 out of the box ruger 10/22's for that price.

I can't imagine spending $1400 on a plastic stocked 10/22, when a Volquartsen with a Hogue stock cost $1500, when I bought mine.And with the Volquartsen, you get a stainless action, with the barrel threaded into the receiver, no silly v-block holding the barrel on.

I shot this group , this summer, using golden bullets and a cheap red dot scope. It was a 100 yards . The first one was high and rushed , the next three , I took my time. It's a tac sol barrel. Stock trigger. I'm sure if someone were to use good ammo and scope , and knew what they were doing , these groups would be much better. Anyway here's a pic of group and rifle.

Barrel is easy to replace. Don't go with the SR-22, you're just paying a bunch more for the look. You could also grab one of the factory heavy barrel 10-22 models, some are a hammer forged target barrel.
Otherwise, start with a trigger job or basic trigger kit, and make sure you have quality optics, mounted solid. Run through as many types of quality ammo as you can get your hands on, to see what shoots best in your gun. I found even one or two of the bulk varieties work good in mine - but more chance of a flier due to inconsistent powder charge. Many people find Blazers to work well.
 
I might add that my Savage MK II TR shoots around MOA out of the box with the right ammo. Prone, bipod, 100m - 4 shots under an inch with a called 5th well outside. I've only had it out to the range once so far, have since reduced trigger pull to the minimum (it came set pretty high). Should be able to tame the called shots now.
I hear you on the fun factor of a semi, but cycling the bolt forces you to slow down and make sure you properly re-acquire your target.

If a gun (or other hobby hardware) costs a months wages you should have different priorities.
 
i have $750 in my 10 22. green mountan barrel, revolution lam stock, home trigger job,rings etc not inc the glass. shoots pretty good at 50yrds, 1 inch not so well at 100. my cz varmint with trigger,bedding and eg rail and rings no glass was under $700. the cz can shoot one hole at 50 and a hair over an inch at 100. the cz is limited by my personal ability. i would need to spend a lot more on the 10 22 for it to equal the cz. for me the 10 22 is a fun gun to play with my cz is for when i want to see tight groups. both guns shot with a varity of ammo. the cz likes sk+ and the 10 22 cci sv. higher grade ammo did not give better results than cci sv.

whats the difference between a VQ on a Hogue and a Dlask Custom on a Hogue?
Hell even the new Dlasks are threaded on barrels.
personally id rather have the Dlask with a heavy barrel and the 2 stage Kidd then a VQ but thats just personal preference i guess.

I haven't seen a stainless steel Dlask threaded receiver yet, but I prefer Volquartsen to any Dlask that I have seen. The factory Volquartsen rifles also hold their value a lot better, than do it yourself builds.
