Saw this little girl last night, and well, it came home with me.
Have some Leupold glass ordered for it. I'll update with a range report when she's ready to rock!
I really liked the concept behind it and the storage bag it came with. Gonna make a great little "survival" set up.

Awesome congrats! I bought my 10/22 the day I turned 18, I estimate it at 3000 rounds. You'll love it.
Hopefully yours works better than mine. I already sent it back to ruger
Wow you just to yours a month ago or so too huh? Care to explain what happened, or isn't happening?Quote:

I'm currious if the barrel is attached to the forend besides the barrel band.

When they do, some beta testing will probably happen as not all head space might be the same on the take down 10/22's. Browse rimfirecentral and see what the rimfire version of AR nutz are saying.
Good looking gun
Scored some glass today!
Leupold VX2 2-7x33
I had to mount the glass bit father back than I would have liked, so when I take the rifle apart it will still go in the carry bag. Not a major deal, but something to think about if you are in the market for one these.
Now, to go shoot the girl!! hopefully sometime this week.

Headed out to CGC with Ray1970 on this wet and chilly morning to zero my new 10/22 Takedown. After a quick 1 mag zeroing in with the Barska Plinker 4x scope at 25 yards, I took it out to 50 yards with very good groupings as well.

That last target was at 25 yards using a front only sandbag on the bench. Not bad considering the wind was kicking up and I couldn't feel the tips of my fingers anymore.
After 100+ rounds downrange, I am quite pleased with it. Zero malfunctions using cheap Remington bulk ammo in the factory 10 round magazines.
I already have (2) 25 round Ruger BX-25 mags enroute, and reviewers say they work great with it as well. As mentioned, I also had to mount the scope rings way back to have it fit back in the bag, but with the generous eye relief of the Barska, it's really not a big deal.
I give it two thumbs way up. The case fits dandy in my bug out bag along with a box of 500+ rounds. I'll post photos of it all again soon, since the sever meltdown wiped out the original posting.
I can't wait for my next adventure out there, where I plan to all out assault the rimfire silhouette range with it!
:D
Thanks for contributing to the thread!!
Looks like she ran awesome.
I am still trying to find some time to get some rounds down range with mine. Stupid work.
Yeah, the only thing I'm changing is the bolt release from the factory two hand operation one to an aftermarket one hander. As I also have a converted MAK AK-47 and a SCAR 16S, this is easily the least "tacticool" rifle in my collection. That being said, I have a feeling it's on it's way to becoming my range favorite! It's fun, accurate, and an $18 box of 525 rounds should last several trips. My fav is shooting steel targets, and trust me, they don't care if I'm shooting them with a $2500 gun or a $300 gun!
Got mine back from ruger can't wait to go shoot it maybe tonight......

I think this is the longest I've owned a new firearm without pulling the trigger!
I'll post up a report in how it went.
Nah, ordered one off "gunandsurplus" on eBay for $10 shipped. Should have it tomorrow. Once I get that, I might be more adventurous with modding the stock part just for fun.

Chewed up, but still standing. :)
Contact Randy at R&S. He mentioned yesterday that he had a new 10/22 Takedown in stock. He's got great prices, too.

Wierd. I skipped the irons and went straight to the Barska 4x Scope. At 25 yards it took less than a 10 round magazine to zero, and held point of impact just fine when I took it out to 50 yards. I was sitting at a bench, with the handguard resting on a sandbag and shouldering the stock. I think I even held the handguard like I was shooting standing off-hand. Fastest zero ever for me. Maybe it was ray1970's spotting skills!

For you guys looking for one of these:
Gander said to call on Thursdays they just received and sold two. I bought the last of 'a few' at sportsmans warehouse today, I didn't think to ask if they we're getting any more. Good news is they are still arriving. Bad news, you still gotta hunt for one.
Cheers,
Maatt

If the adjustment nut is not set tight the barrel moves just a little, and accuracy goes to hell easy finger adjustable.Quote:

Even tested taking it down and reassembling it without any noticeable loss of accuracy. Now I just need to find a speed loader for the BX-25's, as loading them is slow, and a PITA.
Added a TMS folding bipod to complete the package:

Now that is just dirty! [Muaha]Quote:

Yeah, the bipod should make for a nice, stable platform for longer distance shots. Now I'm thinking I need a more powerful scope! I attached it by simply screwing in a sling stud that I took off from another gun. That way the bipod easily detaches and can even be stored in the upper accessory pouch of the carry case!
[Awesom]
Sportmans 84th/i25 has 5 in stock. 299.99
Thanks for the heads up. I was able to send the wife up to grab one today while I'm stuck at work.

How many shoulder straps came with your carry bags that are part of the rifle set ? One ? Or two ?
