Ruger K10/22T

I checked on rimfirecentral, and couldn't find any posts about reliability issues with the 7000.

The ten round mags suck, but then again, I'm now only using 10 rounders in my 10/22, so I can't complain! (25 rounders cause too many jams for my liking).
 
Epoxy 7 -

If you're going to take the rifle apart to install the bolt buffer, you might as well just change the barrel yourself - or even the stock for that matter if you're so inclined. Honestly - it takes just as long (once you have the receiver separated from the stock, removing the barrel would take less than 5more minutes). There's not much reason to buy a 10/22T - Ruger isn't known for making a precision barrel - if you have your heart set on a 10/22 - why not just buy the basic version - and upgrade it as you have time. You'll be much happier with it. I have a buddy with a 10/22T - and my modded one (that cost basically the same price) shoots circles around it and weighs 3 pounds less.
 
I was seriously considering the Marlin 7000. When I picked up the Marlin 7000, I didn't like it. I'm sure it shoots well, but the overall rifle feels cheap. The 10/22T and K10/22T felt like a quality product, right down to the rotary 10 round mag.

On a side note. I plan on picking up a couple of the new 50 round drum mags. Anyone tried these yet? Jamming problems? they look well made.
Thanks.
 
yup I have a line on some. I've heard they have just come out. The metal lipped ones should be out in a few weeks.
 
No Goose. I don't like those. They look cheesy.
I'm talking about the tommy gun style ones. They are a black drum mag. Brand new.

I'll let you know Cpt. Canuck right after I order them. Until they tell me they can send them, I don't want to get anyones hopes up.

You allready did :D

This is what I did:

1022.jpg


Green mointain barrel, bored out wood stock, bedded the first 4" of the barrel, tactical hockey tape grip. A gopher killing machine.. But I do wish I had a regular carbine(i will have soon) for those 'racoon in the shed' type scenario's.

I have the 25rd clips... but they get caught on everything when your getting in and out of... erm never mind, and they jamb often.

Took the new "T" out for a test drive, Love it. It was too windy to get a real good read on accuracy that and I don't plan on doing too much of that till a brick or 2 has gone though the action. But the world is has 10 fewer gophers in it today (I was suprised to get any it was cold windy and a touch of rain). I am not convince i'll be getting any long clips tried a buddies and it did function just fine but if I am shooting off my knee or offhand it is in the way.

One thing the "T" trigger is way ligher than a stock carbine trigger acutually passible but I put a VQ into mine and took my spare and put it into my buddies carbine. Those of you with a stock carbine trigger do yourself a favor and at least get yourself a VQ hammer, the stock trigger is pure torment in comparison.

Having owned a few stock rugers including a 10/22t I was under the impression the only difference between the "t" model and the standard was the Hammer forged barrel and the stock. I don't think the action is tuned any differently than the others. I could be wrong.

Your right the 10/22t has the same trigger as the regular 10/22.
 
No it's not the same trigger exactly I not sure what they have done with it, my guess when I pulled it apart is just a light gring and/or a buffing. But it is lighter than a stock carbine by a fair shot, it's not as light as with the VQ hammer but something you could live with.

From Ruger's web site


"The 10/22 Target Model features a wood laminate stock and a full-contour hammer-forged target barrel, in blued or stainless steel. All .22 LR Models are drilled and tapped for a scope base adapter, included with each rifle."

Nothing said about the trigger.

Page 15 of my 10/22 owners manual (version B 3/04 R13)
Special safety note 10/22 Target rifle only

The special model you have selected is speciffically designed for rapid fire precision target shooting. As such, it demands that you take extra safety percautions.

The trigger of the Target version of the Ruger 10/22 has a lighter, target trigger pull than standard 10/22 rifles and carbines, for more precise placement of shots. You should practise "Dry Firing" an empty rifle(with it pointed in a safe direction) to learn the "feel" of the trigger before ever loading it with ammunition.
