bull barrel and butlercreek folder 10/22? Anyone done it and got a picture or two? I am going to go this route and wanted to see how they look. Any advice also appreciated.

Someone should move this to rimfire.

I haven't seen any on here, but if you check out rimfirecentral, I'm positive someone has done it on there.

if you are wanting acuaccy with the bull barrel, why would you want some wobbly folder?

BC Folder locks up pretty tight actually. But I do think putting a bull barrel/scope on a folding stock defeats it's purpose. That's just me though.

My reasoning is that about 9 years ago I bought my ruger 10/22 and put the folding stock on it thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I agree I would go a totally different direction if I had to start over with what I know now. Anyway I used the gun heavily for a few years and then let it gather a bit of dust. I took it out the other day and cleaned it up and thought about selling it to buy a ruger target model with the adjustable synthetic stock. I read a few posts etc from other guys thinking the same thing as I was. The answer seemed to be to not buy the target model and to build up a standard 10/22. That advice followed by the warm feelings I have for my good ol ruger 10/22 have made me think "just put a bull barrel on the one I already have". As for it being "wobbly" it actually locks into place solid as a rock. The only wobble might be in the way the action sits, so I am thinking of trying my hand at bedding it as well.

He's 2 pics I've found on RFC:

He(-=DFOX=-) obviously made some changes to the basic stock, but that is a BC Folder.

And this one is by crazyTKDsquirrel, the link below gives you an idea on how he done it.

Nice thing about the 10/22, you can customize it any way you want.

Update: I ended up going out and buying a target model that already had the bull barrel, and keeping my old 10/22 with the folder. After walking around with both of them I am thinking I will not put a bigger barrel on the one with the folder due to weight.
