[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4199270, member: 13337"] Well, I have some new insights as to this first 10/22 build,,, I simply got into a conversation with my friend,,, About the 10/22 I plan to build for [B]myself[/B]. So it turns out that ever since he built his first two AR-Style rifles,,, He's been toying with the idea of building a "Hunter",,, Based on a used 10/22 rifle he hasn't bought yet. Even though he usually shoots from a shooting bench,,, He much prefers shooting at reactive targets,,, He owns one of those steel spinners,,, With the 3", 2", and 1" targets. Basically he thinks that to consistently hit the 1" at 100 yards,,, And maybe the bigger discs at farther distances,,, Would be the range fun he wants to have. I asked him about buying a 10/22 that has already been "accurized",,, His reply was that he would like to do the modifications himself,,, That the true enjoyment of shooting an accurate rifle,,, Would be knowing he built it himself. His thinking was to take the stock Ruger and put a .920 barrel on it,,, And see just how accurate he can shoot it. Then start futzing with trigger mods,,, To determine how much that changes his accuracy. Then start futzing with the bolt,,, Again to determine if or how much it affects the accuracy. I also found he's not attracted to fancy laminate stocks,,, He prefers a more utilitarian field/hunter stock. So, that changed my ideas of what gift to create for him quite a bit,,, He would rather build it and experiment with it,,, Than be handed a match quality rifle. Now I'm thinking that a Ruger receiver, bolt, and BX trigger should be the base,,, I will install a decent barrel on it and probably a threaded one,,, He did say that he wants to have a "silenced" rifle. As for a stock I'm thinking to just put it all in a Magpul MOE X-22 stock,,, It's a very inexpensive stock that seems to get favorable reviews. If he likes it fine, but if he decides to replace it,,, Not much money has been wasted. When we discussed scopes I found out he already has a good scope,,, It's a Vortex Rimfire 2-7 Rimfire sitting in his cabinet. So he definitely would rather have a "basic" receiver/bolt/trigger,,, And go from there. I'm thinking of buying that from either sapoutfitters.com,,, A decent 18" .920 Barrel (I'm thinking Shaw),,, And the Magpul stock. Then gift that "kit" to him instead of a completed rifle. I won't need to spend much more that $550.00 to do this,,, It's disappointing that I won't be the "builder" of it,,, But I'm positive that I will be involved in it. I didn't know he has created a "gunsmith table" in his shop,,, He's already offered to let me be his "assistant",,, When he builds his next AR-Style rifle. Tomorrow I'll contact The Evil Pawn Shop Guy,,, About ordering that complete receiver from sapoutfitters. As soon as that gets here I'll order a barrel and the stock. This build project has mutated quite a bit since it's conception,,, But I think that this one will (might?) be the final version. But who knows,,, This too could easily change. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
