Here's my 10/22 (ees very naice!)

Only thing left to do is get a vq trigger and vq extractor, as well as some decent optics.

As far as optics go, I'm gonna get a good medium range scope, and some scope rings with little pic rails on em so I can pile a reflex sight on top for shorter ranges. I had a green laser mounted where the light is but it was bulky and I decided I don't like lasers as much as I like reflex sights and holographic sights.

The T6 stock is an amazing stock for the money. The plastic is very very tough, and fit is excellent. It makes the rifle feel much more solid than the original stock does. I'd recommend it to anyone.

As far as the barrel goes, I got the muzzle weighted Green Mountain barrel because I didn't want to butcher my stock in order to install a bull barrel (can't use upper pic rail with bbl either). I also got it in stainless because I like all weather durability. I haven't tested the accuracy yet but it's a whopping 22" of GM rifling so it should be pretty rad. Of note is the fact that the taper stops prior to exiting the stock and the non weighted part is still considerably thicker than the original dinky barrel. I was going to get the much shorter VQ muzzle weighted barrel but I didn't feel like spending twice the money. Besides I think it'd make the rifle look stubby.

Anyways here she is.

That's a slick looking setup.

If you're in the market for a new trigger, look at the Hornet products drop-in trigger assembly. $100 gets you a whole new trigger mech, and while I don't have a VQ to compare it to, it's a 200% improvement over the factory unit. You can also get it with a big head safety, extended mag release, and improved bolt catch release system.

And no, I don't work for them :)
 
Very nice. Once you get it finished like you want, it will be downright spectacular. If Ruger offered some done up like this right at your local shop I bet they'd sell a bundle. I'd sure pick one (or two) up.
 
Thanks for the compliments fellas!


W squared, I'll definitely look in to that trigger group. Thanks for the heads up!

KFB, yup, stock is from Brownells... I got the barrel from rimfiresports though
 
Damn... it looks awesome!
Great job, this solidifies my want for the t6 stock. And the GM barrel looks great too, especially on the 2nd and 3rd pictures IMO.
 
Ok any decent scope recommendations? I'm going to the gunstore to pick one up tomorrow and I don't wanna spend more than 170ish bucks...
