My favorite would have to be the 10-22 build. Started with a 1974 carbine and put lots of good parts in it and it is a tack-driver at 50 yards. Then there is another 1991 model 10-22 carbine with some DIY improvements that makes pretty groups at 50 yards with good ammo, an old Stephens 89D that shoots Shorts, Longs, and Long Rifle...I have not shot that one in a long time...and a Walther P22. The build and the Walther make the most range trips.

I have a ruger 10/22 and is a hoot to shoot. Trigger is abit heavy. Anyone know of a good replacement trigger?

Volquartsen makes some good trigger upgrades.

Here's my 10/22 with a few upgrades.

If I give you good advice on the 10-22 trigger group, barrel, stock, etc., you will just cuss me for years.

Volquartson?

Good luck.

 

[Sugar Land]

Mine works very well. I guess there is always somebody that hates anything mentioned. I do understand that product results vary greatly depending on the part and the installer.

My favorite rimshot I have is my Sears, Roebuck and Co. Model 2T. This is a fun little rifle and it is so accurate. I used it in the TGT .22 rifle comp and won a big container of beef jerky....I know it wasn't first place, but it beat some of the rifles with the scopes and such. It is SO much fun!!!!

Marlin 60. Mine is marked "Glenfield 75C", since it came out of a Sears about the time I was learning to crawl. It was in kind of rough shape, so I scrapped the stock for a new plastic stock and put a scope on it. Cold bore, it's stupid accurate with good ammo. I love that rifle.

Ruger Mk. II, 4" blued. Cheap to shoot? Yep. Stupid accurate? Oh, yeah.

Have a Marlin 81-DL. Got it when I was 14 (more than 30 years ago) and have killed too many critters to count.

Back in the day, country boys killed coons, possums and the like to make money in the winter. I sold tons of furs over the years, until the TPWD began to require a permit / license to buy and sell furs. (1980-ish).

I used to shoot the eyes out of the critters so I could sell them with no holes in the fur. Got top dollar that way. I still have the gun, but my eyesight is not good enough to do that anymore. But the gun is still as accurate. I have guns that I have paid exponentially more $ for, but none that I have enjoyed as much as that one.

I used a Power Custom target hammer with the adjustable sear and shim kit with a Volquartsen trigger on my build...around $80 total...polished and tweaked at around 2 pounds clean break with virtually no creep.

The stock carbine has a DIY trigger job that makes a clean break with a little creep at around 3 pounds.

Kidd Trigger Job Kit. They're from here in TX.

Ruger 10/22 "trigger job" kit

Matefrio is going to cost me a fortune... I've been stalking that Kidd site ever since you posted the link a little while ago. There are more options on setting up one of their guns then I could possibly even begin to comprehend as a customer. I am definitely going to have to educate myself some more, but I have a feeling they are going to get a pile of my money one of these days.

Sig 522

The other is CZ 452 in 17hmr. Fun to shoot. Not very practical if you want to save meat on smaller critters. They tend to explode.

I have two .22 rifles. A Marlin 60w which is my favorite, and a Ithaca single shot lever action. I'll probably sell the Ithaca and put the money toward either a bolt action or 10/22.

Several .22 handguns. Favorite is a toss up between a Browning Buckmark and my Sig Trailside. The others include a 6" Neos, Chiappa 1911, Noname frame w/Colt .22 Conversion kit on it, Ruger New Model Single Six with about a 5.5" barrel and a Dan Wesson revolver and Taurus Revolver both with 6" barrels.

Back in 81 I was shooting with a buddy, he was shooting a Weatherby Mark XXII .22 with a Weaver 3-9 on it. It just about put every round in the same hole. It was his sisters and she had died of cancer and left it to him. I told him if he ever want to sell it it'd be interested. In 1997 he said hey, do you want that .22? I said sure how much, he responded well I just want it taken care of give me $200. I did and it's awesome gun to shot, my little Browning .22 auto is good but not like that gun. I hope to buy a Savage NRA 19, I had one back as a kid and spend summers shooting blackbirds at 100 yards with .22 shorts. Hold 6" over fire and wait for the 29 gr to plop and drop, they are super accurate and again another full sized gun.

My hands-down favorite rimfire is my first rifle, given to me by my father, who received it as a gift from his father in the 50's. It's a Remington 241 Speedmaster (.22LR), and it's been mine for 39 years. It's taken hundreds upon hundreds of rabbits, squirrel, nutria, snakes, opposum, armadillos, snakes, etc.
