Good Afternoon Everyone,

My name is Tyson, I am about to sink some money into a Target 10/22, my budget is 1100-1500 taxes and shipping included. now i have looked and researched about as much as i can. there are a couple things id love some adivce from more experienced modders.

i have so many questions all bubbling in my brain its going to be hard to organize them well enough for you folks so please have patience with me.

before i get going to fast here i want to show you all what "Look" im wanting to accomplish, because if im gonna spend good money on a gun, i want it to be the look i want, and be competitive.

1. Parts for the grossly inexperienced are hard to find in canada as i have come to realize. Which has me leaning towards just sinking some good money into a Dlask Dar-22, or a Tacsol X-Ring as i feel like most of the stuff i would mod on it has already been done out of the box, and i can save a few bucks.

2. or do i go about it the hard way and dig and dig to get each piece to make it the way i want it to be.

im going to get a bi-pod and scope locally at wolverine or jo-brook


thats it for now, i have been shooting recreationally for sometime, and would like to get into .22lr competition. any advice for that is more than welcome encouraged actually.

this is also my first post to CGNz, go easy on me

Thanks a pile,

-Tyson
 
I assume because of the bipod youll most of the time if not all the time bench rest shoot, correct?
If so, being honest you can spend alot less and just buy a CZ or savage btvs and out shoot most modded 10/22 that are three times the cost.
I have both a modded 10/22 and a btvs. At 50yds they group the same but again my 10/22 cost $300 more.
Out to 100yds and past that, Im sorry but the 10/22 doesnt have a hope. Unless you buy a kidd or Volquartsen built rifle. Not a mix mash of 10/22 parts.
I have never seen a 10/22 shoot 200yds like a bolt action. Just my opinion.
So again I ask what distance will you be shooting and will it be offhand or mostly bench?

Please please read this, its worth its weight in gold imo!
Also there is a link to different comps, and good info on scopes!!!!

If your driving goal is for a competition rifle, what sort of 22 competitions are done local to you, that you plan to compete in? Once you know that, you can decide what you want to build; if at all. For example around my local its mostly sporting rifle, so we are using Anschutz 190 or similar, and you really couldn't use a 10/22 no matter how much you spend. Building them is super fun, but it can be expensive and it would be a shame to outlay all the cash if your goal is to compete and then can't.

So having said all this my two bits is that half the fun is researching the parts you want to use and then ordering them and putting them together to see how it shoots. Sure you could buy one out of the box and save some $ (maybe), but for me half the fun is the build. The other thing to think about is how comfortable you will be working on it. While they are pretty straight forward, they aren't exactly mechano ( ok I'm dating myself) especially if you are mating different bits and pieces from different manufacturers (so how comfortable are you with a file or dremal for example).

For parts you can try the following sponsors:
Wanstalls
Questar
HiCal
Jo-Brook
Dlask

and other vendors
Bits of Pieces
Fabsports
 
For the price this is what i would/have done:
TacSol or Dlask receiver,
Dlask or kidd barrel,
Kidd or timney trigger,
kidd charging mechanism,
kidd bolt,
archangel deluxe target stock,
Mueller APV 4.5-14x40mm scope

all of these items can be found in Canada:
fabsports,
Dlask,
Mystic Precision,
Amazon
 
Building your 10/22 can be extremely satisfying and a great learning experience. If you haven't done so, check out RimfireCentral.com and read up on some of the builds in the 10/22 section. Lots of good information.

Preferring Anschutz and Remington 40x bolt rifles, I built my first custom 10/22 last year and it stacks up quite well against some of my bolt rifles. I used the following components:

Receiver: Volquartsen SS

Barrel: KIDD 18" Fluted

Stock: McMillan STC

Trigger and Bolt: Power Custom Grand Master Match (with last shot bolt hold-open)

P1000237_zpse87fc502.jpg

P1000236_zps406d2d1a.jpg


Final Assembly:

The final tally was near your upper end (excluding scope) and most of the parts were obtained through vendors in Canada.

Good luck on your project.

I agree it is a fun hobby, however Im trying to save you your hard earned cash.
If you look on EE youll see many 10/22 rifles which people have sunk in over 1k on. Thats great and good bragging rights however, if you read the website I sent a link for, unless your only competing in a sporter 10/22 rifle class, youll find very very quickly that their are many bolt action rifles that are half the price or more that will outshoot your 1k+ 10/22 every time and thats using good ammo.
Guess you have to decide how competitive youd like to be?
 
I am looking for max distance 100 yards tack driver. From what I can tell there isn't much. 22lr competition in my area, so I'm thinking once I get comfortable with the tinkering, start my own.

We have a good club here I think enough people would have a good time .
 
Go for it... you will have fun and learn some stuff... it is only money. I recommend that you start with a Dlask DAR22 receiver, Dlask barrel and a Kidd bolt and single stage TG...
