Im looking for an aftermarket stock for my 10/22. I though that dragunov's looked pretty cool but with no experience with one I thought ide ask around first. For the record im not dead set on one. If you have a suggestion for a stock please feel free to post it here. Thanks.

It really depends on what you'd like the end-product to be, what part changes you'll do, and what you will do with the firearm.
If you are putting a .920 bull barrel on it, you will have more stock options in that area. If you want to keep the sporter profile, you may be more limited from what I've seen.
If you want a benchrest rifle, you will want a stock more comfortable for that kind of shooting. A "tactical" stock may not be as comfortable to you in some kinds of shooting. Nor will a dragunov style stock.
But if you want a light-weight firearm that is easier to shoot offhand like you would do hunting, bull barrels are not as optimal. The vertical grip of a dragunov may not be either.
My 10-22 is a "blend" of bench and hunting. It does neither optimally, but does both fairly well. I wanted to retain as much as possible of the original look and profile, but wanted more accuracy.
Mine ended up with a 18" .920 bull barrel with iron sights as well as a see-through optic mount with a 3-9x40 scope. I used an original stock but bored out the barrel channel to 1.00 in order to float the barrel. I cut the barrel band area and reshaped it.
Overall, it is a great rifle, but I have found that it is a tad heavy for hunting. It also is a tad barrel-heavy when shooting free-hand.
But I can handle it.
I hope this helps you get an idea of what you want it to be.

for a fun "trainer" you can always get the ar-15 ish conversion stock, lets u use whatever ar-15 parts you want, cool but spendy ($250)
I went for the Hogue overmolded stock with a bull barrel and other goodies for my hunting rig. My tacticool rig has fixed choate pistol grip stock (20 years now) and I put on the smaller boys barrel on it (16" I think). Pretty handy and light set up.

+1 Tapco
The Tapco stock is great and reasonably priced. You can find them for under $80.

bull barrel and iron sight?
I saw someone mentioned bull barrel with iron sights. This is what I want to do, but I haven't seen bull barrels with the dovetail cut up front. Is this a special machining you did, or are there bull barrels with the dovetail cut already?

I am the person that mentioned this. Mine had the sight preinstalled, but I don't think it is a dovetail. I ordered the 18" blued fluted match barrel with Fire Sights made by Green Mountain and sold by:

Take a look at the F A Enterprises stock.

I have tried the Boyds Blaster and it is nice but a little small for me. The F A E is adjustable and can fit big guys like me easy. It is heavy. Wouldn't want to hunt with it.

I'll second the vote for the Hogue stocks. They are excellent stocks and pretty inexpensive to boot.
Here is another link to the GM 18" fluted bull barrel with Fire Sights.

If you're looking for light, fast, handy and durable- Look at the Butler Creek folder.
It's not for target work, or precision marksmanship for sure. But for rabbit hunting, plinking, or similar use it's great.
