Where did you get the mag?
I sanded the paint off a Rock Island Armory stock and to my surprise it was spalted mahogany.

That looks pretty sweet! Did that stock come with the adjustable cheek rest or is it something a guy could buy if he knew where to buy it.
I was out shooting my new 10/22 today in the snow. Got it a week ago last Thursday then picked up a cheap 3-12x42 scope for it the day after and got it zeroed in for 30yds. If it's nice again tomorrow I'll go for 100yds if I can get line of sight for that far shooting from the front yard instead of across the back. There's a pregnant doe living in the woods behind the garden shed we've been feeding since the start of Feb and I don't want to spook her.

Thanks it’s a solid little rifle. The cheek riser is just a cheap Kadex riser purchased off Amazon. dreaded drilling the holes but bit the bullet and did it. Turned out well enough I think and far cheaper than getting a chassis as I was considering, besides I like the look of wood and steel.
It shoots well for a semi but generally I run my CZ457’s fo 100meters. This gun was primarily built and setup for Maple Seed. And in the roll it truely excels.
I now wears a lighter smaller scope and I removed the dlask compensator (went to one of my CZ). It’s now a bit lighter still and better balanced for shooting unsupported.
Had it for sale for a bit but my daughter talked me into keeping it (she likes it but it’s still a bit big for her, won’t be long till she steals it).

I figured I'd need to do some drilling for one like that and really reluctant to do that to my 84yo .303 but don't like the bulky thing I got from Addley Precision where I ordered the bolt-on scope mount. The mount sits pretty high and with the cheek rest I have now the height is great for eye relief and alignment plus I can still use the 300/600 flip-up sight if something happened to the scope while out in bear country say.
Would have to take off the riser to use the iron sights tho. I'll drop a pic so you can see. I was going to drop pics of my 2 10/22s in a new thread but it's way past my bedtime again and us old farts need our beauty sleep or we get grumpy. lolI checked out Amazon . ca and they seem to have lots that don't need drilling so I'll need to measure mine up good and see if I can find something that will work with a little more grace.

I'm not a fan of green so got the same ATI FiberForce stock in black for my 1988 model year 10/22. So much nicer to pack around the property once it lost all that weight. Feels a bit better than the wood stock for positioning with the Bushnell 3-9x40 scope I stole off my Savage Avis 1 .270. She stopped #####in when I draped a new Crossfire II 4-12x50 on her. Now I want to put that Vortex on my new 2016 SS 10/22 wearing the ArchAngel target gear.
I was going to start my own thread and post some pics but too late so will do tomorrow. Later today actually.
A previous iteration of my only remaining 10/22:
I loved those Nodak sights but with such a short barrel the sight radius didn't make it easy to shoot up to the gun's capability.
The same gun today:
The gun is now a sort of Scout-rifle understudy. That Leupold is mounted in an intermediate position, halfway between the traditional scope location further back and the Cooper-mandated scout position further forward. It's pretty much my favourite set-up now, combines the best of both worlds. I have the same scope mounted in the same fashion on my Steyr Scout and a couple of others.
That stock ^ was purchased new...as a Fajen rather than a Boyd's!...back in 1972.
The Dlask barrel is from about 15 years ago. Other bits'n'pieces came and went over the years. I probably assembled (nobody is "building" anything here...) a dozen or more assorted 10/22's over the years, but I'm done now.
Probably the 6th or 7th time I've said that, but I really mean it this time... This gun currently has between 12000 and 13000 rounds through it.

Nice setup.
Don’t suppose you still have those nodak sights and would consider selling?
That's a beautiful setup. Is the top charging handle accessible with the optics so close?
What chassis is that?
Really nice looking setup. What's in the build?
Yes it's no problem at all. As a righty I much prefer charging with my left hand so this works great!
This is another ST-22 build of mine. Easier to see from this angle. There's a little cutout in the receiver just in front of the charging handle.
