So for the Owners of 10/22 out there, can i have a few hints to make this a real tac driver? Looking to do 100 yard precision shoting..( maybe some prarie dogs too)

I am getting the one with the Forge Hammer barrel and adjustable target stock.

I find the trigger a bit long and definitely want more then 10 rounds. Any suggestions of parts I should get right away would be MUCH appreciated.

Thank you
 
Get the cheapest most basic 10/22, even used will do as long as the receiver (and the mounting holes for the scope rail) is in good condition. 18" Green Mountain bull barrel, Boyd's Evolution stock, Volquartsen parts (extractor, auto bolt release, extended magazine release, match sear and hammer), and you're good to go.
 
Like one of these ?

Crazyloch, If I could make a few suggestions:

Only get a target model if you plan on keeping it a few years with very little to no mods (Which is what I did and why I did it). They'll shoot Ok. But not with the good bolt guns.

What I would recommend. Get the cheapest one you can find for the receiver only (blued, since all of the receivers are aluminum and are only painted). Then get a 18" GM bull barrel ($185) and a Boyds SS evolution stock (The factory defects can be had for $50 US). About $30 for trigger parts and you'll have a very handy semi auto that is also a tack driver. It'll work out to slightly more than the target model but not much. Your rifle will definitely be superior in both accuracy, and handiness.
 
"100 yard precision" and "semi-automatic 22lr" are two things that don't go all that well together.

If you like to thinker, don't buy the target model... accuracy seems to be a hit/miss thing with them (saw some that shot good and some not so good)... and from what I can remember, you can't easily change the barrel on them...

Why would that be? They should be held in place by the same v-block system that's used in all other 10/22's. There are some variances in the tolerances of 10/22 receivers though...some of the holes fit very tightly around the barrel, while others are loose. I had one of each on my two 10/22's...but this issue runs across the board with 10/22's.

I would also recommend the adjustable v-block with the screw to correct for barrel droop. Hawk tech and Rimfire sports sell them for around $25 USD delivered to your door.
 
When I bought mine, I took it out of the stock and tightened the two screws so they were equal on the V-block. I haven't taken the barrel off yet but will be doing so shortly when my GM barrel arrives. Just from my first look when I bought the rifle two years ago, it is a standard V-block and nothing else. Should be as easy as any other 10/22 to change. I'll find out in a few weeks for sure.
 
I just got my T model (blued version) a month or so ago from Frontier. The vblock is just a normal one nothing different than from the basic carbine. The barrel just need a twist to get out cause it was kinda tight, no issues removing and installing again. I had no barrel droop just issues with the scope rail and mounts, a simple sticker shim fixed that and it works fine now.

The only things I changed was doing the auto bolt release (takes like 2 minutes to do with the dremel). I added a bolt buffer and polished the internals a tad. Trigger is a thousand times better compared to the basic carbine but it ain't no 2lb pull. With cheap ammo (bulk stuff) and a 4x scope I can shoot 1.5 inch groups at 50 yards, I just cannot see the bullet holes so that is why my groups are so big :p

Also for hunting, the gun is nicely balanced so it is super easy to carry in your hand, isn't that heavy either but that could just be me.
