Appleseed 10/22 Setup?

[henschman]

I like the plain old TSR-100 Tech Sights. That pretty much gives you M-16 sights, with nice 1 MOA clicks for windage and elevation.

I picked up a set of Tech Sights for my wife's 10/22 carbine on here for I think $45. I got the sling studs, need to install them. Now to get a sling.

Charley's Surplus is another good place to get legit GI slings. Their black "M16/A2 Sling" is the soft weave nylon version of the GI web sling, and is the one I prefer... it is $9.95. http://www.charleyssurplus.com/M16A2 SLING?keyword=M16/A2 sling

I'm partial to the bison tactical(outdoor connection) GI sling set-up with the talon swivels:

Great product at a great price! I highly recommend these.

The Tech Sight front is a cleaner setup as it drifts into the factory dovetail but the Nodak rear setup allows you to expand and toss on a mini red dot like a Bushnell or Primary arms and get a good co-witness.

This Tech-Sight set up(TSR200RL) will co-witness with "affordable" micros like the TRS-25, Sparc, etc.

Plus, both the rear and front sight are elevation and windage adjustable with this package, fwiw.

Appleseed teaches the rifleman's quarter mile(4MOA shooting, basically), so if you want to run a red dot optic at an Appleseed, make sure the dot is 4 moa or less, preferably.

Semi-related question since it's about rigs for Appleseed:

I already own a scoped Model 60. Could I run a course with the tube fed, glassed (basically identical to this) beast, or would I have to look to swap it out for like a 795 to be a proper Appleseed oper8tor?

Appleseed is a "run whatcha brung" class. The tube-fed will make timed sections more challenging, but it's done all the time.

Most excellent. I don't I'll make Afton but will plan on making the next one. I need to get shoot more frequently and this is the perfect avenue for me to do so.

Definitely run whatcha brung, but I'd highly recommend you shoot it with iron sights first....and get the full fundamentals experience.

But if scoped is what you have, go with it.

+1 If it is at all possible. By the end of the weekend you will be far more proficient with your irons...(even if you don't score a patch). After a learning experience like this you will view optics as a "force multiplier", not a crutch or a band aid to cover up bad fundamentals. There are several blocks of instruction over the weekend that are worth the price of admission by themselves, much less all together, from sling work, sight alignment, zeroing procedures, and building a stable shooting platform I wish I would have attended an Appleseed 15 years ago... the hours of my life I would have back that were wasted chasing zeros across paper.
