Here She is, next to the remington 870, I went with the all weather model, due to my location. Pick up PLENTY of ammo for her too :5_1_120:

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Congrats! :ok:

You thinking scope?

Ruger makes good stuff. Stack up the ammo!

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

What kind of scope do you think, I looked at a lot of them but dont know much about scopes Ammo? I'M STACKED deep

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Very nice, they are fun and cheap to shoot...did I mention cheap?
I put the Williams peep sights on mine, and I'm happy with them.
I like it compact and since it is a only 100 yard rifle, they work fine.
These sights increase your sight radius, the rear screws on the reciever.

congrats on the ruger 22

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Any 4x32 would work on that gun. People go crazy on optics, but for a 22 I'd spend around $40.

start practicing with 20-30 rounds per day

QUALITY, not quantity

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Did you buy extra mags?

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Is that an odd aftermarket foreend on the 870 or is that not an 870? It looks like a semi-auto...not a pump.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Sure a 4x32 WOULD work, but I much prefer a 3-9x40 on my 10/22 I have had both on mine. I use a Silver Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40. Good optics without breaking the bank.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Mines scoped with a Nikon.
Love it almost as much a my Pop's old Remington bolt action.
The best part is that it is a hell of a lot cheaper to train with .22 than .223.

Good luck with it.

Nope shes a remington 870 express pump action, must be the angle of the camera


extra Magazines?:15_1_70v::banana:

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Yes, extra magazines for your 10/22

If something happens to your magazine your gun will be nothing but a club without extra mags.

Like this or they make larger ones too.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I'm kinda partial to these.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I just ordered the exact same 22 from walmart. Stainless barrel, synthetic stock. Just have to wait for them to ship it to my store. It's my first Ruger 10/22.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

What do you guys think about the Butler Creek mags? Some swear by the polimer vs steel - anyone with real experience with either of these?

Also, anyone see a problem with keeping the mags loaded at all times. Long term affects on the loaded mags?

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I have both.. Hot Lips and Steel Lips.. They work fine for me.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

thanks. do you keep them loaded? someone told me once this would damage the mags but I personally don't want to sit and load multiple mags if time is an issue. I also don't want to damage them since they are getting more expensive.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

is there a preference for the brand of 22LR ammo to use?

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I have both Butler Creek magazines and think the Steel Lips are the better of the two.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I would like to put a strap on the 10/22 but it looks like I would have to drill a hole in the synthetic stock. Anyone added a strap to their ruger?

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Nope, I don't keep them loaded. My .22s are the only guns I don't keep loaded. I would agree with Doge, CCI makes good stuff. I also shoot the cheap Remington "Golden Bullet" 36gr HP loads and they run through just fine.

As for the strap? Mine was already set up for a sling. You could drill a hole or have it drilled or grab a different stock.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Add a buffer, a extended mag release and mod the bolt release so it works one handed

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Those are good mods. Here's all you need to know about Butler Creeks...

Elroy,,, I was just being a wise azz....Magazines? I GOT MAGAZINES:565:

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I've never had a scope on a .22 before. That Nikon looks good though. I think I will probably get it. I'm used to lever action .22 rifles, and never added scopes on any of those.
I still need to get another scope for my Ruger M77 30-06. Had a Weaver on it but it died, the dial on it stopped turning so I couldn't adjust the power past 4.
Weaver makes good scopes but this time i'm going to get a Leupold VX-III 3-9x40.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I have a 10/22 and several of the Ruger mags and the Butler Creek mags. I like the 25 round hot lips best. I hate having to stop and switch out mags on the 10 round ones. After some time, I only use CCI mini mag hollow point in this rifle. Very consistent.

Have a $40.00 scope on it. Not much recoil and it doesn't have a long range so I went with the cheapo Academy special and it works great.

Very fun rifle to shoot. I need to start making a dent in our local squirrel population....

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

I have the same rifle. Just won an auction on Gunbroker for an aftermarket underfolder stock for the 10/22. My first purchase on Gunbroker. Hope all goes well. Here is the photo of the stock. Will post again after I get it and put it all together:

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

Use the Steel lip Mags--I had the plastic and couldn't get it to cycle more than two or three.

I threw it away.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

thanks for the feedback. I have heard some say steel others say polymer.

Re: Pics of the new Ruger 10-22
 

since an 870 was pictured with the 10-22 I was wondering if there is an autoloader for an 870?
