Ruger 10/22T

accesorize your current one....
new barrle, volq. hammer, bolt buffer, auto bolt release, extended mag release and a new stock will set you back the same as buying a 10/22T.... but your rifle will be 100x better.

The new ruger will still have all ruger parts. If you are planning to upgrade any of the receiver parts, you might as well just save the $400+ that you would be spending on the new gun and just upgrade the one you've already got. Plus if you went this route, you might still have some spare change left over to buy some ammo for it

I bought a "T" used off here from the EE forums. I customised it from there. Added all the VQ bells and whistles....
Here's a pic of mine. Looks like a stock 1022T, but she's a sleeper. Tasco 2.5-10x42mm Moldot AO scope in Weaver high rings w/ Butler Creek Flip open Scope Caps, pinned firing pin, radiused bolt, nylon bolt buffer, VQ Exact Edge Extractor, VQ Target trigger and hammer, VQ mag catch, nylon bolt buffer, modified bolt catch, hex head takedown screw, Harris Bipod with Speed Knob, Receiver Drilled for Cleaning Rod and bore has been Moly Fusioned . She'll put 10 rounds on a dime at 50M without trying.....The barrel, receiver and stock are OEM, but that's it....everything else has been modified....

hmmm well I bought a 10/22T stainless.
Soon after I bought it I realized I wanted a 17 HMR for the long sniper shots on gopher insurgents - not to mention that sweet little shell.
Now when I pick up the 10/22T I still love it - I can't bring myself to sell it even if the credit card is hurting from the Marlin. I told myself I would sell it and now I can;t!! I think the reason is beacause the 10/22Ts are so sweet with that spiraled barrel and accurate. Another reason is also that a 17 hmr does not replace a 22. Two different guns.
I will soon be putting the the two head to head in a shooting competition (for fun - we all know who the winner is) but to show the comparison and the common shorter distances.
The trigger on the T model is awesome.

That is another route you might consider:
Buy yourself a .17 (I got my HB Savage with Accutrigger for $299)
Save the .17 for long shots, and stop the gopher insurgency at close range with your 10/22. You'll be amazed at the accuracy of a .17, and you'll still have a great little .22 for plinking and ranges 50 yards and closer.

I would definately modify your current one. With a GM barrel, a VQ hammer, and a home-made customized stock (as i did in this thread here), you are only looking at another $200-$225. If you want a new stock, depending on which you are looking at, add another $200. This will give you IMHO a much better gun then the 10/22T and you also get the experience of putting together one, which can be a lot of fun.
I am not saying the "T" models are bad or anything, because they are not; they are still a great gun. But i do believe that customizing in your case would be the better way to go

You guys are just great, so much information and advice. Trouble is, it's no easier making a decision with lots of info than it is with none at all. My long range needs are taken care of with a Savage 12FVSS in 22/250 topped with a 16X Super Sniper so I really don't need a 17 (might be nice though???).
I've decided to go with a GM Barrel, Power Custom Hammer, Sear, & Adjustable Trigger Kit, VQ Extended Mag Release and a Hogue Stock (Green of course). After that ????? who knows?
Thanks guys.
