Sounds like a fun project to do for a great friend. Looking forward to the build. Parts used, range reports etc

I hear Franklin Research is worth a look for custom 10/22 stuff too.

Honestly, my 10/22 is plenty accurate for me

Here’s the build:

OE 50th anniversary 10/22 VLEH Target Tactical (comes with the upgraded Ruger trigger and match barrel/chamber)
Primary Arms PA22 6x Rimfire scope
Cheap Leupold rings
Magpul stock

Here’s what I would change:

Better trigger.
Maybe a different stock? I honestly like mine.

As it sits, it shoots 1/2-1 MOA at 50 yards with CCI standard velocity ammo. Similar results at 100 yards. All together I have probably $800 into it. Just food for thought.

Do not know a lot about the pros and cons but have breathed on the trigger of @mightymouse 's Volquartsen. He uses it as a long range fly swatter LOL.

Thanks for the props, my friend, but that was an Anschutz rifle. I don't own a Volquartsen (at least not yet).

Kidd makes really nice stuff. Their Trigger kit is nicer than the BX trigger. I could only imagine what one of their full on triggers would be like.

The Kidd stuff is great. My build with the Kidd 2-stage trigger and 20" fluted barrel is very accurate. Had the stainless receiver/scope already and got the stock off Ebay.

10/22, even built, wont be as accurate as decent bolt guns.

That being said, I’m building a 10/22 too. I get the paralysis on picking parts. What are other requirements other that tack driver and <= $1200? Does the 1200 include optics? Do you want to suppress it? Are you going to just shoot from a bench or walk around with it?

I’m trying to pick a bolt for mine, already have a receiver, bought a shaw barrel, and a bx trigger.

The BX trigger is a danged nice trigger.

I like 10/22's, and I've owned and shot a mildly-customized 10/22 "squirrel gun" for many years. Custom stock, threaded Ruger barrel (by Grumpy's Guns), TBAC Takedown suppressor, 80's Leupold 2.5-8X Vari-X III with parallax set to 60 yards by Leupold techs, and a custom trigger (can't remember the mfr) set to exactly 2.0 lb. It's a nice light squirrel rifle, very accurate and reliable, and I have always liked Ruger's rotary box magazines. I doubt I have $600 in it not counting the suppressor (it multitasks on several guns). But for shooting paper I'd much rather have a CZ or even better an Anschutz bolt action. By working at it, I suppose a person could manage to spend $1200 or even more on a 10/22, but honestly I don't understand why, when one of several factory made bolt action .22's would probably outshoot it, and for less money. But of course, in the end, it's your money and yours to spend as you wish. Good luck with it.
