To a new 10/22 Carbine? I've never owned one and today I said to hell with it and went and picked this one up, have a range trip planned for Monday, have a box of 500 22LR's ready to go, could stop by big box outdoor store tomorrow and install something cool if I wanted to, so what's the few first things you do to a new 10/22?
I recently tied a pair of Hot Lips 25 round magazines. Dad passed two hears ago and they came out of his stash. I have no idea how long they had been loaded but was currious as to their reliability.
All 50 rounds went downrange without any hiccups so I've reloaded them and keep them on hand as a component of my Zombie Survival Kit.
I'm also toying with the idea of a reaplacement stock with the AR type telestock so it's easier to adjust for the little one when he gets started in a few years.

Hey! I saw those at the gun shop but had never heard of them and they didn't have any of the Ruger BX-25's I've heard of but those hot lips are 10 bucks cheaper! Shoot man, I'll get one of those instead, thanks for the suggestion!
That's too funny, and very true. So many aftermarket parts to make a 22 look "intimidating" - how did that trend ever get started I wonder?
I really enjoy my 10/22, the kids like it because it doesn't kick at all, I marvel at the accuracy. If I ever decide to hunt squirrels or rabbits, I'm good to go. Fun gun!
First thing I'd do is buy a bottle of CLP and a bore snake - 500 rounds is fun but oh so dirty.
Going in my takedown before the first round is fired. The stock bolt buffer in your rifle is just a steel pin and when the bolt cycled there is hard metal on metal contact which causes vibration and if you're using high velocity ammunition can actually egg out the bolt buffer pin holes on the reciever.
The KiDD bolt buffer has a rubber sleeve over the kidd pin that has a lifetime warranty and also takes the metal on metal contact out in turn reducing felt recoil cause of the lack of concusion and makes it safe to fire high velocity rds without having to worry about egging out the receiver as well as quieting down the action and reducing vibration. And best part of all it's only 5.95 I even just got free shipping on it .
I would buy a good 1" Diameter Tube Scope on it with mounts. Do not mess with one of the smaller tube scopes. There is no comparison. If you can get a 3X9 or even a straight 4 power for it would be great. And you will have a blast with it shooting up to 50-100 yards.
You can get a reasonable scope like a Bushnell, Simmons or other good scope for it at a dealer or Walmart for around 49.00-69.00.

Is there any reason to clean this thing before I shoot it like you would with a high dollar 7mm rem or can I just go run the hell out of it tomorrow and then clean it?

I read something about redfield, though eh' what the hell, I'll go grab one....sheeeeeeeeeet man, I'd have to sell a rifle to buy one of those freaking things! I just grabbed a Simmons 8-Point.
I'm not sure I'd add a Redfield to a .22 of any sort but I just put a Redfield Revenge on my AR15 and I'm beyond impressed. Keep in mind that Leupold now makes Redfield.

The 10/22 is a nice rifle on it's own. Rather than buy gadgets for rifles, I prefer to buy ammo. I put my first scope on a .22 bolt action two weeks ago as my eyes ain't what they used to be. I usually shoot with only one or two people at the time, if not shooting by myself. None of the people I shoot with are impressed with gadgets, but I do my best to impress them with my targets.
The only thing about most of the Redfields I am not sure about all the new ones since Leupold owns them. But the older ones have friction adjustments on the elevation and windage knobs when other scopes have the Clicks! I prefer the clicks only because you do not have to come off the rifle to adjust them since you do not have to visually count the lines. The other scopes with the clicks you can feel them and hear them normally and they are normally 1/4 MOA clicks. Info Only! By the way the 10-22s are great little rifles! I bought one for my grandsons for Christmas three years ago. They love them!
Sniper- The Redfield Revenge 4-12x42mm I just bought clicks with with any and all adjustments. I have to agree, getting a scope without clicks while adjusting is a nuisance.
Nope, Princess Vespa already stole a Calico M-100 from Dark Helmet's troopers...
