I also have to admit that the Ruger 10/22 is a real fun gun and can be customized in so many ways. I am a member of Silver City Gun Club, which is a .22 club, and hold regular Friday night .22 plate matches with pistol, revolver only and rifle.
Here are a few of the 10/22 builds that I presently have, not counting the several others that I have build and passed on to other shooters. All have been worked on from Randy from CPC (Connecticut Precision Chambering) in Middletown, who is a Ruger expert gunsmith on the 10/22. All have jeweled bolts, his bolt and trigger work. It is not the same gun when you get it back.
Some are with tactical Solutions alluminum barrels and carbon fiber barrels, to name a few. Some were built for speed in plate shooting and some for distance shooting.
