What an elegant looking 10/22 defiantly a throw back to the "old" rifles. That front sight looks great, I take it you had to sliver solder it? The gold trigger really completes it, thats how the deluxe sporter should look! I had a similar rear sight on a 10/22 didnt like the feel of it as the rifle was irons only but in your case slap on a scope and your good if need be. I replaced it with a Williams peep which to me looks a lot cleaner.

I bought this deluxe carbine in the early 1990s. It was the most inaccurate rifle i have owned. I tried a
variety of ammo and the results were the same 3" at 50 yards on a good day. It spent the next decade at the back of the gun safe.
I replaced the barrel with a green mountain fluted sporter barrel but I never liked the fluting and missed the sights.
The Ruger Barrel has been sitting on my tool box in the garage now for several years. I took the barrel and
machined a slug that would fit in the chamber so I could measure where the rifling started.
According to Sammi specs the bullet was .060" away from the rifling when chambered. I chucked the barrel
in my lathe and I removed .090" from the breach face and the face the contacts the receiver.
The bullets now will engage the rifling by .030" when chambered.
I re-cut the extractor groove in the barrel with a slitting saw and touched it up with a file.
I removed the Green Mountain Barrel and reinstalled the factory barrel and made a trip to the range.
I can't believe the difference. The factory barrel now consistently shoots under an inch at 50 yards with bulk ammo.
I mounted a Hawke IR 3x9x40 scope mounted on it. The scope has a reticle with points on it for different yardages on it up to 200 yards.

This was shot rapid fire off the bench at 100 yards with Federal Automatch. A twenty round 2 1/2" group.

Got a surprise in the mail tonight
Mag adapter is on order so she can be back to proper capacity
That is seriously cool, the 10/22 has never grabbed me but I’d own that in a heartbeat.

IanC thanks for your compliments! The front sight is 2 screw d&t into place with some quick set epoxy under it to hold it in place for hole alignment for the d&t.
The rear sight is a Skinner. I would have just used a Williams Ace in the Hole sight, but the profiles on the Dlask reciever make the Williams sights incompatible. The rifle is plenty accurate enough to be scope worthy, so this way I can throw a scope on it easily if I like. I have a Williams on my 10/22 with the factory receiver and it is the perfect look and function.

Winter project - Before and after
Love the look of the shortened forend and the extended mag release kinda gives it the look of being a falling block. Very cool!
Picked this up today. Had no intention of buying one just happened to be walking by the used gun section in Cabela's and it caught my eye. Waiting on income tax to buy a bolt rimfire but for now this thing followed me home. Know next to nothing about it so now onto the serial look up etc... but came in an AA556 with the fore grip. Seems to be in good shape so why not.
