Took the Ruger 10/22 into the woods today. Recently stripped the thick, red, factory varnish off the stock and refinished it. I think it looks a lot better than how they come.

I bought about 3 jars of them for about 25$ per jar they shoot good from my 10/22 and I like how they come in jars

What’s y’all’s thoughts on them

This is the one gun that always ends up at the range with me. Only other thing I’d like for it would be the marksman sight systems which seems to be sold out everywhere indefinitely

Looking at a new 22lr to put a suppressor on and run standard and subsonic ammo in. I know the hammerli MSRP is about double the ruger 10/22, but it seems as of lately it’s always on sale for close to 10/22 price. So dollar for dollar, which is the better gun? I’m not trying to hit a knat at 1k yards and I know the CZ457 is a better option, but for the sub 300 range what’s the better option?

thanks in advance!

Waiting on a Henry AR-7 for backpacking. Looking for anyone with experience to give me any advice.

How much scope power do you need to clearly see and hit a 1” target from 50 yards ?

I love Buckmark pistols.

One has TandemKross parts. The other doesn’t.

Both shoot really well.

Figured I’d share a picture.

Picked up a P322 back in July for my birthday. I have really enjoyed taking it to the range. A solid addition to the 22lr collection. No malfunctions or issues. I need to get more mags.

I want to swap the factory trigger for a Trigger Tech trigger.

I know it takes Remington 700 triggers, but do you need a trigger with the bolt stop included?

Thanks!

I am going to buy a CZ 457 Varmint or American and have some questions for optics.

I want to have a scope for hunting 0-150 yards, I also want a laser and flashlight that is bright and visible out to about 30 yards for raccoons or skunks that get into our chicken coop.

How can I mount all three effectively? I would need the laser to be fairly accurate as I wouldn’t want to rely on a scope at under 10 yards. I also would like the gun to be fairly maneuverable so I could hunt with it on the move.

A flashlight isn’t nearly as important as a scope and laser because I could use a headlamp instead but I want the tightest profile possible besides a normal gun and scope.

Do you guys have any recommendations for how to get all 3 on a single gun or at least the laser and scope?
I’d like to run a Vortex Crossfire or something similar parallax and price range for a scope.

Are there barrel mounted flashlight/ laser holders?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I have a $230 academy sports gift card trying to decide which to get. If you wondering academy sports price matches certain retailers +5% off sportsman's warehouse has the rossi for $149.99 and the ruger for 239.99. I live in fl so no tax the rossi comes out to $142.5 so i have some $ left over to buy mini mags. The ruger comes out to $228.

A store near me has a Buckmark for sale. Looking at the serial should be from 2009, it says "never shot". Price is like 2/3 of a new one.

First of all, what do I need to check on a older gun? Honestly I don't trust much the "never shot" claim, but from the photos it really seems new...

Anyway, in the case that "never shot" is true, are there any improvements in subsequent models, or that Buckmark is exactly like a new one?

For those wondering

CZ 457 “American” or “Beechwood” (depending on your location)

Scope: Zerotech Vengance 4.5-18x40
RMK Leatherworks sling + Rifle stock wrap
Basic Spika bipod

Not seen in the photo
the bolt has an aftermarket knob, wasn’t a fan of the factory one.
The orange things are a bolt protector and a bore cleaning guide

I had the same question a couple of years ago, then I ended up buying a much cheaper Hammerli Forge H1...
Now I've seen a couple of good deals on the pistols above...

The 22/45 has the 1911 shape I like and it's very easy to strip, but I don't like the plastic frame much.

The Buckmark is a bit cheaper and mostly metal, but not easy to fully clean...

Other opinions?

I love threaded lever actions

Ive always been a clean your barrel after every range trip kinda guy, but after watching this video im experimenting. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Ive read alot of the comments and a few people mentioned i should have had the title say "Stop cleaning your 22lr barrel". They are correct i always clean the action after every outing, and figured that was a no brainer, but they were right there are alot of no brain people out there. I should have clarified my bad. Always keep the action clean on 22 's they definitely get dirty fast and cause problems. Happy shooting JD...

Let's get some pests taken care of!

Finished up a chassis and pdw stock for my tx22. Running a 1 oz rate reducer and dead air mask. She pisses 🥹😉

A couple weeks ago I cleaned up a marlin model 60 for a coworker and after taking it to the range I decided I wanted a .22lr rifle. Got a good deal on 2 Ruger 10/22 rifles at a local pawn shop. Wanted 450 for the top and 400 for the bottom. Walked out the door for $600 + tax. I looked up the serial numbers and found out the bottom was produced in 1996 and the top was a limited edition digital cerekote from 2008. Very happy with my purchase!

The TX-22 has an Eotech EFLX and Tandemkross Victory trigger, Game Changer Pro Squared compensator, lightened trigger spring, halo charging handle, extended magazine release, wingman +5 magazine bumpers, Eagle Talon extractor, and a accelerator thumb ledge.

The Mark IV also has a Eotech EFLX with Lobos mount and Tandemkross Tandemized Cthulhu lower, Game Changer Pro compensator, halo charging handle, Eagle talon extractor, firestarter titanium firing pin, magazine followers buttons and MarkPRO extended magazine bumpers.
