| 10/22 stock drop?? | Login/Join |

OK going to build a new 10/22 classic pattern. What I see in looking at the factory 10/22 and even the Mannlicher stock, there appears to be a LOT of drop in the butt. Wouldn't something more in tune to 1.5" drop from the bore centerline make more sense? Thoughts? As usual just my $.02 Paul K | ||

I think it would depend on whether you intend to use the rifle with iron sights or a scope. With irons you need the drop. Less so depending on height of scope off the bore center line.

i would decide if its to be irons or scope -- if its thin and shapely, i have alot of interest opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I would guess that 90 percent of these get scoped. Maybe 99. | |||

 I think if you are shooting a 10/22 with open sights you basically left it factory. Thanks guys As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

The 10/22's are very popular for steel challenge and rimfire challenge matches. Most of these are used with iron sights and a lot of the users shave the combs to make them more compatible with the factory iron sights. I guess it all depends on the use? C.G.B. | |||

This has 1/4" drop at the comb (measured from the bore line) and goes down to about 1 1/8" at the butt. Intended to be used with a scope.    "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." | |||

Thanks, that stock started out as a clubby Weatherby factory second blank with flaws in the fore-end that I just removed when adding the ebony tip. A friend inletted it on his milling machine and I took it from there. I'd make a similar pattern but am trying to escape from 10/22s... the hump for the rear end of the receiver makes figuring out the grip geometry and comb height fun.

 As I remember only one I ever scratched was one of my own.  Still heck of a stock from a Weatherby Second. Evan has a right to be proud. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||
