Hi folks,

New here and new in the 10/22 world. Since couple days I ear a voice who said: buy a new gun, buy a new gun…

So I will… and Im so much in love with the backpacker stock. Im in the wood every weekend so something easy to carry will be apreciate. After I rode many post here about the good reputation of Dlask I contacted them by email and by phone.

Ive got a pretty good service from the lady I spoke. I would like a second advice to make sure it’s the best I can do around this budget.

The main goal of this build it’s for hunting grouses. I would like something can group around 1/2 at 20-35 yards stand up.

Here the grocery list:

TUF 22 TD Receiver
Take down 12.5” C/F barrel
BX trigger group (maybe will upgrade in futur)
Charging handle (black or silver color)
Take down barrel attachment
Ext. magazine release
Scope mount rail
KIDD complete bolt Scalloped Nitride
Auto bolt release
Pins & buffer
XB5 Muzzle brake SS same finish barrel
X22 Backpacker stock (which color?)
4x factory 10rnd magazine

Does I need V block? The optic are mount on the barrel.

I use subsonic ammo for hunting and standard for plinking

Cheers!
 
Sounds like a very good rifle.

The V-block on a normal 10/22 is a necessary bit that clamps the underside of the barrel into the receiver, with two bolts to snug everything together. But I haven't had the TD variant and that's where things may likely work differently.
 
“I use subsonic ammo for hunting and standard for plinking“

This makes no sense, good luck getting it cycling depending on your choice of subsonic ammo

I would keep an eye on the EE you could likely find a used one already built for less.

Dlask offer 3 different spring to fit the type of ammo.

Most of the time I hunt in my backyard so I dont want mess with my neibourg. Went I plink Im on a land I can make noise.

Does it make more sense?

The very very lightest anemic .22LR probably won't cycle with even the lightest spring, and changing springs means having to take everything apart and may get old fast.

But with every semiauto .22, especially with a custom one that's not quite identical to anyone else's, buy 50 round boxes of a bunch of different types and see how well your gun likes each, for reliable cycling and grouping on target, and you'll find out which to buy more of. You could do this with each spring or just assemble the gun with the lightest spring and focus on what works with that.

Yup, the takedown does not use a V block. A piece is bolted in place where the v block goes to engage the barrel hardware and lock it in place.

Sounds a bit excessive for what you want to do with it but if you have the itch... go for it!

The "scope mount rail" is not needed if you just get the Tuf-22 receiver with the rail built in. (I believe they are the same price)

Also the extended mag release isn't really needed. You're not gonna be dropping mags on the ground for quick changes hunting grouse. Especially if you pick up a couple 25rnd mags from dlask.

Muzzle brake not necessary either. Unless you just like the look of it.

Just trying to save you some money brother! If money is not a concern then just ignore me. LOL

Light spring and bolt buffer = run everything from standard velocity to hyper velocity. With a Dlask there won't be anything needing polishing so I bet it'll run just about anything besides CCI quiet and those 860fps thunderbolts that remington sprinkles in every box. The 874 fps thunderbolts will cycle tho lol. Good ol thunderjunks.

All advice are welcome.

For the scope rail, for what I learn/read. The accuracy will be better for a takedown if you mount the scope on the barrel.

Good point for the mag release. I don’t really need it.

Yeah the muzzle it’s for the look

Never try thunderbolt subsonic but I will. Most of the time I use cci 1030-50 not sure
 
I'd like to do the same thing as OP. Is it recommended for Dlask to do the actual build or or is pretty straightforward and legal to DIY build from ordered parts?

If it is a take down model, just get the parts and you can put them together at home. If it is a standard model, I always get Dlask to mount the barrel to the receiver which they have done at no extra cost every time I ordered from them. Perfect fit every time with no extra fiddling at home. Some barrels are tight on the receivers so freezing/ heat needs to be applied to get them together. You are just putting parts together at that point and a great learning exp for yourself. Plus you get to see how everything goes together so you can disassemble for cleaning when required.


To the OP: if you can swing the kidd trigger, maybe the volquartsen competition bolt, you will have the best of the best in one package.
 
Response from a bolt-action fan..

For what it's worth, I've had my hands on only 1 x 10/22 take down, and there was nothing about that gun that would make me want to even keep it, let alone put money into it. Not to say I don't like 10/22s, I'm coming around on the idea but I do see them for what they are. Guess I'm here to offer 2 things, but we all have gun "itches" that need scratching...so not trying to derail the plan, just offering another perspective.

1. If I were going to invest in a 10/22, I'd need a very good reason to build it off a TD model.
2.The gun that got me to stop slagging 10/22s altogether was one of these, a 10/22 clone built better. (in my opinion) I've enjoyed this one so much I actually "built" a 10/22 idea I couldn't get out my head=now I enjoy the 10/22 as well! Stocks are light with a little flex noticeable, but this thing is a pleasure to hold/shoot, and is already light/handy. Just another idea.

When I got on to the TD band wagon I went full throttle. Ended up importing the tactical solutions receiver because nobody carried them up here yet. Why the tacsol? The dual slide bars, and the bolt, plus the fact you could mount the slide bar handle on the left side. This is far superior for a right hand shooter to have the handle on the left side. Once you try it, you will understand. The ease of taking it apart, and the way the bolt carrier slides on the dual rod set up. The only thing that compares to it is the volq comp bolt, but that came years later.

The other component that I say is necessary is the barrel mounted optic, so I went with the volquartsen carbon barrel. Again when I built it that was the best, and only option for that route. Now there is dlask as well, and I know their carbon barrels shoot awesome as I've built a few with them, but when I did my TD there was no real other options for barrel mounted 10/22 TD optics.

Just as accurate with it disassembled and assembled with no impact shift. Only thing I would do different now if I did it again would be to go the 12" barrel instead of the 16" I have. The 12" was not available back then, and I don't really want the expense right now as I'm onto different wagons. Then again I just might change it up and sell the 16" barrel. Hmmm.
