My son and I modified his 10/22 with a Hogue overmould stock & heavy barrel then added a Volquartsen hammer. Never knew shooting a .22 could be so much fun! 1/2" groups at 50yds are no problem. It's amazing what just changing the stock hammer for the VQ will do for the trigger pull. Dropped it from factory 6-8 lbs to just over 2lbs.
Decided it was time for Dad to have one too. Had to stay under $500 to keep the wife from going too balistic though.
Ordered just about everything from MidwayUSA, got a Fajen thumbhole sporter stock, Adams & Bennett compensated barrel, Volquartsen hammer and a Weaver style scope mount.
Went to WallyWorld and bought a new 10/22 (That was an experience in itself). Checked the local dealers & pawn shops for a used rifle but couldn't come up with one. Local dealers don't even carry new 10/22's or Rem. 870's because WallyWorld sells them less than their cost.
Got a 4-12 x 40 AO scope coming from SWAFA.
Whole thing ran just under $470.
