What is the lightest 1022 available ?

So add 3.7oz for the trs-25
It has a loaded 10 round mag.
Again you havent built one, let alone held one.
So what do you know?
Quote factoy specs maybe... seems about it.
The OP is wanting an ultralight build. There is plenty of info on rimfore central.
Remember this is for a kid not an adult.
Im happy the OP got what he was looking for!

I have to apologize to the OP it is not usually my style to get in squabbles with no minds.
While my buddy tries to find this picture of his loaded 10/22 on a scale,
I hope to redeem myself with this pics of a few 10/22s that I have built.
I dont have the patience to wait for more to upload, but here are a few ideas.

1.Ebay bolt on 10/22 scout, 2.80s folder with 50k round count, 3.Dlask, Houge Green mountian. 4. Ruger, Butler creek stock, Asylum barrel.

Don't forget this one I already posted:

Here is a 77/22 Paddle on the scale for reference

And with that I answer the OP's question 10/22 build would be in a factory receiver, a Tacsol barrel and a polymer stock like the Axiom. However you still need an optic which adds weight. You could alternatively go with a factory receiver and a 11.5 inch barrel with iron sights. Very light as well.
There is always something lighter. That is not necessarily the best. My choices are based on Canadian availability and balance on price.
Cheers

It has a butler creek stock on it but I'm looking at the axiom to save more weight.

Lol Ill do the math for ya!
Its 3.88lbs
Happppyyyyyy
Would be less with a different receiver and MR barrel. However Im sure you know this.
Factory barrel 18.5" is 28.7oz so you can drop almost 1lb just from the barrel.

So do some more reading please!!!

Math doesn't work that way. Your saying you drop almost 1 lb just in the barrel. But what about the barrel your replacing? YOUR only dropping the difference in the weight between the 2 barrels.

willisjake.. How much does your stainless 10/22 with the 8.5" stainless .920 barrel and TRS 25 weigh. Out of curiosity?

Pretty much the same setup as me minus I got a blued barrel and you got a stainless.

I sold that one off to a friend of mine. I do believe it was over 6lbs. That barrel was short but still heavy.
I found the short barrel with Bentz chamber a little finicky for a bush gun.

Yeah I agree that math is all wrong.
The factory sporter barrel weighs 1lb 13oz. The Tactical Solutions barrel weights 1lb 1oz. At best you will loose 12oz. While that is quite a bit it is far from the embellished weight quoted.

Little_airwolf, where is your picture of your loaded 10/22 on a scale? I have proved I am not full of S#@T now its your turn.

While we are at it, can someone weigh a AXIOM stock for us?

And a factory stock?

And whats the cheapest way to get a pistol grip for a 1022?

Edit: lovin the pics with scales in them. It looks like the factory weights are lighter than stated. Very good info

Jeez mines only like under 5lbs. I went with the looser sporter chamber.

Fantastic you proved my point! The factory 18.5" barrel is 1lb 13oz
The tacsol barrel is 15oz
Just so you know 16oz is a pound.

29oz minus 15oz is what again?????
14oz
Check how much 14oz is please in pounds. Iirc its almost 1lb.

If the stock isnt pind, its a prohib gun youve posted. Unless youve switched its classification.
Im guessung you havent.
Also iirc you cant cut a barrel legally past 18.5 including rimfires.
Please correct me if Im wrong.

Jeez open his profile and view his started threads. He has one for turning his 8" barrel down, and another to pin his stock.

To clarify, my little 10/22 is 26.4" in OAL. The barrel was not cut. The flash hider and stock is permanently pinned.

The whole action(meaning gun minus the stock), including bolt, trigger pack, is 1075grams. An Axiom stock is 1lb 2oz(from retail site), so about 511grams. So if I were to weight mine in an Axiom, it would be around 1600gram, plus mag and ammo. FYI The current stock is 900grams.

Some absolute weights:
A TRS/micro red dot is about 105gram range. A factory mag is 57grams. 10x 40gr 22lr is 33grams. Axiom stock is 511grams.

Scenario 1:
Your "3.75lb gun" is 1700grams.
Action weight = 1700 - 105 - 57 - 33 - 511= 994grams

So your complete action weighs just ~994grams while mine is at ~1100grams is a little hard to believe.

Scenario 2:
The weighed 1660gram gun has a full mag right? (I don't think it's inserted since its illegal to load your weapon in a lot of places)
Action weight = 1660 - 57 - 33 - 511 = 1059grams at best.
If you didn't insert any mag in it:
Action weight = 1660 - 511 = 1149grams. It's very hard to believe.

What I think your real weight is:
With mag and ammo and red dot = 1660 + 57 + 33 + 105 = 1855grams, so 4.1lbs

Just to let you know mine in a axiom stock plus full mag would still weigh less at 1781grams, 3.9lbs. Without red dot, it would weigh 3.67lbs, and it still has the aiming thingies and full mag.

By the way, my barrel is about 0.6lbs. It took the machinist 30 minutes to reduce the diameter to 0.50".
