Skullcrusher-if you just walked in a gunsmith shop & requested everything I did to mine, I estimate ( based on what I charge) it would cost between 300$-400$. When I'm doing work on my own firearms I don't keep track on the time, just concentrating on getting it EXACTLY the way I want.

Just fitting the barrel is 100$. You CAN just use an aftermarket barrel with the factory stock method of the V clamp & 2 screws but I'd like to think threading/precision fitting makes it more accurate. The rest of it simply involves modifing the factory parts. I bought it & built it before even test firing it.

Believe it or not mrm14-that's an actual Ruger factory stock-limited edition through a distributor of course. I was going to make a stock almost exactly like that when I spotted 5 Ruger 10/22s lined up in the rack of a dealer buddy of mine so we worked out a deal.

Ruger 10/22®*Autoloading*Rifle (10/22RB-CIII) Overview

I forgot I used a metal trigger guard to replace the factory plastic 1. I tried some RWS R50 & some Eley Benchrest Gold in it and the 10 shot groups at 50 yards are smaller than the 5 shot groups of the cheaper ammo-all from a rifle that weighs less than 6 pounds, scoped & all. More pics of targets next time my nephew comes out & takes them & puts them on the computer-IF it's not going to bore yall.

.22hustler, you're one of those stalkers aren't you?

I am making a personal request to have you become more active in our discussions.

Pardon me if I have missed your participation in the 22 section but I respect your knowledge and request more input across the boards. I think your knowledge is more than random and hope to see your increased participation!

Bear, I don't remember the trees being that tall in KY. That is one fine rifle.

Don't spread this around but Bear is only 5'1" tall.

If he needs that much scope for treerats, he is also walking in a ditch.

Really? Can you question the nail driver @ 100 yds?

Way above my pay grade!

LMAO yall!!! Like I said in my original post,I'd much rather have a Leupold 3x-9x-33mm AO EFR but had the Nikko Stirling lying on the bench not doing anything so I thought-what the hell,I'll give it a try. I'm planning on replacing it when I get the extra cash.

My old motorcycle license offically states that I'm 2'6" tall, and have blue hair & brown eyes. I saved that license by reporting it lost & getting a duplicate. I guess the cat's outta the bag-I'm just a lil bitty wimp.

Squirrels > nails. It should be the perfect tack driver.

That would be an entertaining pic, Bear; drive some actual nails with that thing.

I don't give a sh!t what your stature is, you’re the Bear and I haven't seen one spurious post on this forum!

Bear, I'd go back to back with you in any squabble!

Stay pure, as you always do, and tell it like it is!

I would trust my LIFE with any weapon Bear puts in my hand!

Back off MF’s!

Thanks for your response, Bear. I kinda figured it would be a few hundy for the actual work. Keep it real, bear. Thanks again.
