Two years ago, I ordered a Ruger 10/22 with an integral suppressor. I found out today, my dealer got the barrel/suppressor and nothing else. He said that he would order me a factory 10/22 and install the barrel onto the new action.
OK, so this got me thinking. Should I go ahead and let him get me a regular 10/22 to use for an action or should I consider getting one of those aftermarket actions from Brownells ? The ones that are really made out of stainless.
Trigger: I am going down tomorrow to a different local shop and buying a Kidd Trigger that they have in stock.
Stock: Another dilema. This rifle is going to be a "sporter" rifle. Not a bench rifle. I want something that is practical to carry around, not some huge piece of lumber or something with an adjustable cheek rest. I have always been partial to the Hogue Over-Moulded stock myself, but don't have any real experience with it.
Scope Mount/Rings. What is the hot set up in scope mounts and rings ? The last good aftermarket scope mount I bought was a one piece mount from Jack Weigand. The problem with that set-up is that it doesn't offer enough clearence for a large objective lens (the rings are machined as one piece with the base).
Optics: I want to put a fairly large magnification scope on this rifle. Right now I am thinking along the lines of one of the higher end rimfire scopes vs. buying a Leupold from Premier Reticle that has the parallax adjusted to 50 yards.
Again, this is a fairly high end project. I have over $900 invested in the base gun/suppressor. I am not interested in flea market Chinese optics or any kind of low budget parts. I want the good stuff.
