putting together a .22 from online sources...

[200250126]

ive decided to get a second .22 because the one i have was my grandfathers and i want to use it as little as possible. .22s are so cheap im not hesitating buying a brand new one to mess around with.

ive come to two options. one is just to get a plain jane semi auto .22, in particular a marlin semi auto with iron sights and its something like $140 on SIR.

the other half of me is leaning to putting together a varmint/semi-precision .22 with a scope and bipod.

problem is of the big canadian sites (lebaron, SIR, wholesale) none of them have bipods listed, and none have all the combo of parts i want in one place (rifle, scope, bipod) on one site. i want to order all from one to save on shipping.

what do you guys reccommend. im even considereing ordering one of those savage package deals but i cant find a canadian site who carries them.

Get a 10/22. Then you'll have a plain jane semi auto 22. Then, as you get the bug and the $, you can turn it into a varmint/semi-precision 22.

You can order 10/22 parts from hawktecharms and rimfiresports in the states, they ship for free to Canada.

SIR has bipods.

ah i get it. i thought 10/22 was some sort of calibre.

actually now that i found everything this is what i had in mind to put together.

rifle:

scope:

bipod:

i think thats everyything i need to make the package work. am i missing anything? the rings that some with the scope should screw right on to the rifle, correct?

you'll find 10/22 has the most options available in all goodies to assemble the configuration you want.

as far as wholesale etc. order their catalogues,you'll find what you want as far as bipods etc.i just purchased a rockmount for my 10/22 ,it mounts to the swivel.

the ruger has a very well built receiver which is one reason why it is the most popular 22 out there.

of course,everyones tastes are different,the marlin is also very accurate in heavy barrel version and unlike the 10/22 it has a hold open device on the last shot.

I beleive all 3 sell everything you need. Might not be listed on there websites but if you call they should all sell bipods

what does the last shot hold open option do for an advantage?

 

[200250126]

actually on the subject of the marlin 7000, it says it comes with 1 inch rings for a scope. the scope i am buying:
http://www.sirmailorder.com/show_pr...27&PHPSESSID=2425f35fa4c242a0d64bb34604e24254

already comes with rings on it.

will this be a problem? are they the same style? can a set be removed?

Keeps you from dry fireing your gun if you lose count of your shots

Keeps you from dry fireing your gun if you lose count of your shots

because of this it indicates to you that you're out of ammo and need to reload.

But dry firing isn't bad for a 10/22.

So the last shot hold open only means that you can't pull the trigger when the mag is empty. With the 10/22 you get a click.

My Rem 522 viper is last shot hold open. But I haven't shot it in years, the 10/22 is way better.
