Not sure what you mean by "leo" .... but assume you mean pistol scope.

Can you legally put a side folding stock like the Butler Creek on a Ruger 10-22 in CA? That might make for a nice "back packer" rifle.

A Ruger pistol (MkI II or III) would actually be better for that purpose. If you're good with a pistol..

you need to go look at rimfire central forums.... you'll find enough ideas to make your head spin!!

LIFE IS SHORT.....

I have done one with a bull barrel and a Hogue stock I like it. It shoots real well also. But if I were to do another one I would get a longer factory contour barrel and just make an adult sized auto loader with better weight distribution than the long heavy bull barrels. I think it would make a neat carry gun. I hear the accuracy is just as good with the lighter contour barrels. DW

I have a 10/22 with the checkered Walnut stock .Over the years I have changed the hammer and springs ,bolt stop {buffer ?} extractor ,mag release and changed assorted pins that fit tighter.I finally found a Green Mountain sporter fluted barrel I think it's 18 in. That allowed me to use the original stock .I had to remove some wood in front of the receiver. I don't know if that barrel is still available there were far more fat barrels .

I am happy with the way it turned out, it now wears a Bushnell Trophy 4 X 12 scope.I use Federal Auto Match ammo

New trigger is first thing. Check out hornetproducts.com

After that just decide what you want it to be. Though most barrel modifications are .920" heavy ones, there's some lighter and sporter weight aftermarket barrels available if you want to go that route. Then the sky's the limit.

A trigger fix of some kind is the first thing to do.

Next: Green Mountain barrel of some kind .920 bull


Then: A 3x9 40mm variable scope of a manufacturer you like.


Final: Hogue overmolded stock

P.S. Enjoy your shooter of small groups!!!!

If you want to do it right and have the $$, don't spend it on anything but Kidd products. They are head and shoulders over Volquartsen and the others.

Might be a redundant question as i don't frequent this forum, what should I do with a 10/22? I have one already with a 4x leo on it that I plink with etc. The other day at a fundraiser lunch I won one as a doorprize. No more then one costs, I thought instead of trading it in one something else, why not dress it up a little? I would love some suggestions as to what I could do. I have been thinking about a bull barrel and corresponding stock. Any ideas?

It will come back better!

Both your 10/22s will benefit greatly from Volquartsen target hammers, extended magazine latches, and improved bolt open levers. Me, I'd put a Williams receiver sight kit and a Butler Creek or Choate folder on one of them. Might like a 16 inch barrel on that one too. For the other the sky is the limit...
