Going to combine that with the upgrades he listed and add a longer barrel of I can find one that is not a bull barrel.

Assuming you are referencing this.

For reference, all the prices for the above parts are from Midwayusa: Volquartsen automatic bolt release $9, recoil buffer $11, extended mag release $19 and target hammer $33.

I've gone the drop in parts replacement route and these made the trigger 100% better on my 10/22. Then I sent my trigger in for the Tier 3 Brimestone trigger job I posted eariler it is 1000% better than the original trigger. Volquartsen target hammer makes the trigger pull lighter but there is creep in the system that you can't get rid of without a proper trigger job. Brimston job is not too much more than all the parts listed $38.50 + shipping v. $30 just for the target hammer. They also do the auto bolt release mod as part of the trigger job (though I did mine myself already with a set of small micro files).

If you do go the Volquartsen target hammer route I will suggest that you do not use the springs that come with the kit. Trigger reset problems will pop up when the trigger group is not perfectly 100% clean with the springs in the kit and I found they didn't have much impact in the feel of the trigger pull. As a comparison IIRC stock trigger pull was ~7lbs. Volquartsen with stock springs 3.5lbs. I have the "Sweet Spot" option from Brimstone and it pulls 2.2lbs but more noticeably the break is crisp with no creep.

The stock chamber is pretty loose so if you find a sporter taper barrel with a Bentz chamber it really helps the accuracy. Green Mountain makes a nice one.

The Magpul stock is also a great customizable option for the 10/22. I like how you can fine tune the length of pull and raise the comb for a better cheek weld with optics. Another big plus is that the barrel channel reverses so you can use it with a sporter taper or bull profiled barrels.

I tried a couple of extended mag released and my favorite was the PWS T3. That being said I went the other direction with my hunting rifle and went with a flush magazine release after losing a magazine to an inadvertent release with a lever style release. With the PWS you don't have to break position you can just nudge the level with your trigger finger just like activating the safety.



Two more parts I found very helpful. EGW extended picatinny rail. If you just shoot sitting or standing it might not be an issue but if you shoot prone you can't get the scope far enough forward for a good sight picture with the standard rail.



Kidd charging handle guide rod. Amazing how much smoother the charging handle operation is after this cheap $10 upgrade.

If you want to get it customized and deadly get in touch with Clarks in Haughton.

i want to get a takedown and put this on it. the magpul x22 stock.

you fricker. notw i want to buy this to put on my take down. I have been wanted to put a new stock on it but didnt know what. this looks nice.

DDX,
Thanks for the info. Sounds like Brimstone has some neat offerings I need to look into.

Yeah, the replacement extended mag releases can lend themselves to lost magazines. I carry my 10/22 w/ my hand covering the lever mag release to avoid that problem.

A couple 30 rnd 'nanner clips. Perfect for cleaning out the hog trap.

You have any suggestions on the barrels?

I have a 10/22 take down with a few mods. an after bolt handle, bolt buffer, bolt release plate. What else should i do to it. I would like to get a threaded barrel at some point because im working to get a suppressor for my .22s

Decent scope,sling,ammo.

Bought a Ruger 10/.22 the other day,put a Nikon pro-Staff rimfire scope on it.
Haven't gotten to shoot it yet. Probably this weekend.

I bought a Savage A-22magnum at the same time,and put the same scope on it. I shot 10 rounds through that 1,at the little range behind the gun shop.

I was just shooting at 25 yards (resting on a stack of 2x10 saw drop,not ideal),but it was just 1 big jagged hole on the target.
Pretty damn impressed. I guess,it's possible to make it a better rifle,but hell, I don't think could shoot well enough to tell.

If the Ruger shoots anywhere close to that well, I will be happy.

I don't know what those rifles are going for anywhere else,but I just bought the standard black 1,it came with a Weaver scope on it and a plastic case with the Ruger Logo on it.
I gave 300 bucks plus tax,that seemed like a decent deal to me,then bought the Nikon scope,and let them swap it out and bore sight it.

Maybe That Weaver scope is decent enough?
I've never owned a Weaver scope,so I don't know about them.
Is it worth putting on another .22 rifle that I have?

If your going with the .920 barrel, just know that it’s going to be heavy. Very.

That was the main reason I switched to the Tactical Solutions.
