Just what don't you like about your 10/22? Is it not accurate, or does it jam?I really dislike my 10/22. I really like my CZ 452s.

You must have the carbine stock. That's too short for me. I have the Deluxe stock. It it fits me much better, and there's no danged barrel band.It runs fine. I don't care about it's short stubby stock, the factory click/clack heavy trigger, or its accuracy. I am not gonna throw time or money at it trying to improve it when I have better rifles in those areas like CZs, 40x's, Rem Model 37s, and a Rem 541-S.
Well, you certainly have a great stable of ponies to use. I don't have any dedicated target rifles, but have a couple of good-shooting ones, including my 10-22 and this jazzed-up 581.Yes, its a carbine.
** If and when a 10-22 jams it's usually an extractor problem. Buy an exact-edge extractor and it probably never (almost) jam again. If you have a torch and a vise, you can heat the rear of the extractor and when red, tap it to tighten the distance between claw and lug to make the claw hold shell rims tightly against the bolt face until the rim hits the ejector.Also not a fan of the 10\22. That stupid bolt hold open is just asinine and for all their great reputation for reliable feeding, my experience has been that they are no better or worse than any other SA rimfire- which is to say they jam once in a while.
Then there was the ole Charter Arms AR7- what a peice of junk. Id have thrown it in the river, but it would have floated right back with my luck.
OK, flame suit on.......I didnt like my vintage Single Six. Nice looking, well built and accurate, but the cylinder timing was such that it was a real chore to line up the chambers with the ejector rod when unloading.
As far as those I love? Pretty much all the ones I still own. .22s rule!
You could buy a slip-on recoil pad to extend the stock to better fit you, then remove it for when people with smaller stature want to use it.I have a 10/22 carbine with the short stock, too short for me but I still enjoy shooting it. The real treat is that is just fits my wife and she can shoot it really well. Makes me grin from ear to ear when she shoots it. I put a new extractor and a new trigger group in it. It has a really great trigger.
I wish my Marlin mod 80's trigger was as easy to fix.
Have a blessed day,
Leon
The target shown is a "PROVE-IT" target, designed by a guy on one of the older rimfire shooting pages (rimfirecentral.com) to provide a place where people could send a record target to prove the groups that they said their rifles would shoot. It was pretty interesting, but has gone by, after a year or two. I'd lost the copy I made of my target and only recently found it when browsing old stuff. Everybody knows that semi-auto .22LRs are all lousy shooters...or do they have to be?View attachment 923180
Shot this with my 10-22 Deluxe that I bought second-hand and learned how to accurize it...collaborating with other folks on a previous site. Barrel is a Shilen and the only parts of the rifle that wasn't factory-made (many modified) is the Shilen heavy barrel and extractor. I collaborated with others on an older website and we solved some inherent factory design problems that limited accuracy. Besides that, we had fun!
Hmm. I have been invited to shoot against a state champion rifle shooter and high ranking Palma shooter. In Rimfire he shoots a very modified 10/22 for fun. He is a friend of my sniper buddy and He shoots a Magnum Research 10/22 clone. I plan on bringing a CZ 452 and my 540XR. He said his early rimfire competition rifle was a 540XR. Should be fun and I expect to be humbled.
The point being a 10/22 isn't a bad starting point for some of the best shots in the country.
Thanks for the support but I am pretty sure they know what they are doing. I hope to make a good showing.I'll bet a "case of Michelob Light" that you're gonna SHOCK that poor fella with how accurate those two .22 rimfire rifles are, and what they'll show him.
The 77/22 is probably too expensive for what it is,
Totally agree. The Anschutz 54 is a prime exampleI'm not sure what you mean by this but some folks seem to think that just because a firearm is chambered in .22 rimfire it shouldn't cost as much as a firearm chambered with a centerfire cartridge (not saying that's necessarily you). Nothing could be further from the truth, imo. The Ruger Model 77/22 was/is worth every penny "for what it is". A .22 rimfire of any configuration made to high standards (think Winchester Model 52 Sporter rifle, Smith & Wesson Model 41 auto pistol, Colt Officers Match revolver, etc.) is worth just as much or more than their centerfire "equivalents".
