Can a Ruger 10-22 be competitive? Precision rifle shooting

[@macgyver5108]

They can be, _if_ you find the right ammo and do a little trick called "torque tuning" on the action/takedown screw. That screw is the biggest Achilles Heel of the 10/22, because there's only ONE without a second one in the rear of the action! It creates a pivot point that alters your barrel harmonics/accuracy. They make kits to drill and tap a rear action screw, but that can be tricky too. Instead... take that Wheeler fat wrench and try shooting groups @ 10,20 and 30 inch pounds on that screw and you'll be _surprised_ at your differences in group sizes! Then try going back again and split the difference which torque direction it shot better, either 15 or 25 inch pounds and shoot groups again.👍

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I've seen this done. I agree. In fact I think I'll do a follow up video on this rifle and I'll do that method. Thanks!

[@macgyver5108]

[@jmcguire708]

I've noticed this to make a huge difference in grouping size with mine. I found my sweet spot to be 14inlbs, and even as little as a full inch pound higher or lower makes a difference.

[@MrPiimpslap]

Victor Company's stock for the 10/22 has the ability to apply pressure to the tang. And they have a kit that basically stabs the rear of the receiver to remove that pivot from the solo action screw.

[@currywilkins6244]

I have two custom built 10/22s that I shot 3 position 50 yard with I made it back to worlds 6 years in a row with them never placing out of the top ten every year and I won my scholarships those guns they are the reason I was able to afford to go to college

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Dude that’s awesome!

[@adamsmyth584]

Just buy a Kidd heavy 16 or 18 inch non fluted Matt barrel, no threading, a Kidd 2 stage trigger and a set of springs for your new Kidd bolt and rod and be done with it. That will give you all the accuracy you need if fitted properly.

[@dcalero56]

shot my KIDD 10/22 at a PRS match this weekend and took home first place in the first time shooter category out of three us. I was the only one shooting a semi-auto and we shot targets out to 200 yards. I have the KIDD rear tang in place and had a magpul hunter stocked milled to receive the rear tang screw. Its a tack driver. Great video!

[@MrTylero28]

I’ve got an X ring receiver and barrel I built using a 2stage Kidd and the KRG bravo with full length arca rail and tripod mini spigot. Using an arken ep5 5-25x56 scope and it’s an absolute dream to shoot. I love stretching it out. It’s a great setup for sure. I also got the bravo butt pad and it’s very much worth buying

[@mitchmoe6224]

If anyone is interested in saving time and money building up a 10/22, order yourself a Kidd Innovations barrel and trigger, then drop it into a Victor Titan stock. I played with one of my 10/22's for ages, adding all sorts of different combinations. Once i found the combinations i liked, i duplicated the setup on my second 10/22, and as expected i yielded similar results. Now both of my 10/22's shoot dime size groups at 50yrds and they arent finicky about ammo, just an impact shift when switching between brands that are good, like CCI. Even Federal Automatch shot very well. I will agree with you about the Federal premium gold match, it's a terrible investment.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Have the Titan stock. Zero wobble. Also has the anchor kit on the reqr for two screws instead of one. Twice the torque. Also with a Green Mountain barrel. Hits the 10, 🎯.

[@beyondtwominutes]

My 22lr competiting started with a rigger 10/22. I had over 1,000 into that rifle only thing left that was rugger was the receiver. Everything was Kidds inovation. I held my own comps believe or not (i didnt know a whole lot about nrl22 but i hought an nrl 22 target setup etc). After about 2 comps shooting eley i ditch the rugger and bought a rimx. In my opinion a semi out rimfire will never be able to keep up with most decent factory bolt action 22lr rifle. 10/22s have their place but it's not in comps with 1inch targets at 100 yards etc.

[@langleyj8199]

Try the 10/22 custom shop. Shoots under half inch groups at 50 all day. Did the KYL rack at 50. 8 shots, 8 hits, last one 1/4 inch. So, yes, 10/22 with a good trigger shoots very well. SK long range.

Your problem is likely the action sliding around in the chassis. KRG makes an excellent product, but the 1022 either needs some extra hacks to lock it down, or a softer stock material to dig into.

Just toook my 10/22 take down, 1 year later after beating it up not cleaning it, took it to range, zero still holds perfectly. Yes the torque screw play big roll. Especially if your like me and pull the gun into your shoulder with any muscle it will cause the barrel to shift very subtle if torque is too lose, and over tightening it also makes rounds more erratic. But once it’s tuned in, mark the screw frame.

[@patrickweaver1105]

The ultimates section of the Rimfire Central forum has many examples of 10/22 rifles that can shoot near 1/4" groups at 100 yards off a bench. You just have to bring the gun up to spec and get an accurate barrel. The brand of the barrel is less important that the qualities of the individual barrel. It's easier with a bolt gun but you can do it with a modified 10/22 if a shooter does his part.

[@ranger178]

I think the bullets are nice and warm in the house and when you shoot them out into the cold air, they start shivering travelling with that terrible wind chill down to the target.

I’m not sure how old mine was when I bought it back in 92’, or how many rounds it’s had through it, and I have no idea how many thousands of rounds that I’ve put through it over 30yrs, but it’s been my go to gun since I bought it, and I’ve had a lot of rimfires. It’s been in multiple configurations. I have 4-5 barrels (none of them “target” or bull barrels) for it including the factory barrel. But the factory barrel and the current barrel (basically a threaded factory barrel) , in it’s factory stock, can keep dime sized groups at 100 yards, and it’ll smack a squirrel sized target out past 175. I can stack bullets between 25-75. And I never use Federal Rimfire ammo for any kind of accuracy, The Winchester ammo has always shot well my favorite was the Power Point in 40grn. I use to buy it by the brick. They discontinued it back in the late 90’s (at least the packaging) as far as I know but I still have over 2000 rounds in hard boxes just for hunting with that gun I did find another Winchester round, can’t think of the name off hand, but it seems to be the same setup, load, bullet, whatever I’ve even taken it apart and weighed it out, but ill generally use that or CCIs at the range and save my original Power Points for showing off 😂. It’s by far the best rimfire I’ve ever owned. With the right glass those guns will perform phenomenally. Just an extremely accurate fun freakin gun.

[@michaelbonanno9491]

If you want accuracy I would suggest pulling that suppressor off. they collect carbon and when you carry the rifle with the muzzle pointed up, carbon can fall back down into the bore and effect accuracy. If you are trying to mess with barrel harmonics then get a barrel tuner.

[@stevenhendry6513]

The reason 22 target rifles are bolt/single shot is the bolt thrust when fired is consistent. A semi-auto recoils to work the action-it is not 100% consistent in recoil/movement of the bolt----using green tag cci helps as the ignition is more consistent, but is not a miracle maker-the fact is most people cannot shoot well enough to reach the full potential of the rifle-Buy a true target rifle and be amazed-shoot the eye out of a fly.

The factory barrels aren't bad. Hammer forged on a mandrel, they can be pretty good. Generally have to get pretty spend-y to beat them.

Bedding can turn a dog into a real shooter even in the factory wood stock. A pencil barrel might look out of place in a chassis though.

[@Howyoudoing98765]

When you were shooting the bottom right target. You have a low right miss and on the next shot the hole was gone? Kinda strange

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

It’s that camera system which has a shot tracking feature. Sometimes it flashes a shot on the screen and then it disappears or appears. It’s weird I agree.

Thanks for watching

[@CompShooter54]

For many years I shot 3 position rifle with Anshutz rifles and I think you can improve your groups with a better shooting position. You seem to be all cramped up and not looking through the center of your eye. If you have a more upright, relaxed position I'll bet your groups would improve.

[@honesttroll]

Bottom right 2nd shot kinda weird glitch there

[@ExergameStation]

The whole point of the stock is for a rear tang.

[@ThePewski]

I have a late 70's 10/22 I refinished and put a cheap walmart scope on and shoots 1/2" MOA with ELEY ammo. Pulled it out after a year in the safe, same ammo, same results. Still haven't cleaned it. Just a classic .22LR. I even have the Tasco oval scope it came with still. If you don't mind saving me some research time, how much would your set up run a guy?

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

The KRG Bravo is $350ish. Tactical solutions Barrel was around $250 maybe?? It’s been a long time. The Leupold scope is $1800.

[@ThePewski]

@PrecisionRifleNetwork oof, that's alot of scope for 50yrds, lol. Thank you for replying.

[@ThePewski]

I think it would be cool to use my factory rifle and then use the mods to see how much of a difference in accuracy and consistency. That would be alot of fun!

[@ThePewski]

@PrecisionRifleNetwork do you think brand of barrel makes that much of a difference? Seems to favor type of ammo, quality ammo versus cheap ammo. What am I asking, consistent loaded ammo, better results?

[@ThePewski]

@@bendayhoe5199 Could be a tough day with no wind! LOL

[@TheGoatMumbler]

Big 10/22 fan. But really. Just buy a basic Tikka T1X and do the same changes and you'll be a ton happier for PRS. The Ruger ain't really made for that IMO.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I agree

Excellent video!

Thank you very much!

Using a torque wrench to loosen screws is not recommended.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Thanks for watching

[@rangerdanger126]

Did you ever get this thing to group? Did you do the torque tuning? Did you try longer ranges?? I just ordered a 10/22 Competition, so can't wait to see how it does from 50 out to 200 yards. Rangers... Lead the Way!

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I sold this particular rifle. let me know how your competition rig performs.

[@swyoung69]

My 1022 with old Tacsol barrel, Volquartsen trigger kit(3lbs), X22 Magpul stock, and shooting CCI standard velocity, i got .4 inch at 50yds. Im kinda surprised at your results with seemingly much better ammo. My 1022 shoots tighter than my RPRimfire at the moment, testing ammo right now.

[@CompShooter54]

My best groups with my Tacsol barrel is with CCI STD is also the best, with about .4 as well. I'm really happy that bit hates the expensive stuff.

[@swyoung69]

@@CompShooter54 nice! Im happy with it...then i saw Pursuit of Accuracy's review on the Kidd Supergrade, now im going to save for one of those!

[@xringkiller]

I’ve always been told not to use my torque wrench to loosen anything as it will throw off its calibration. I don’t know if it’s true or not.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Hmm I’ve never heard that but I suppose it could be a thing.

[@theunofficialresults231]

Those groups are what I'm getting out of my Volquartsen THM carbon barrel, except for the last group. It sucks. Is your barrel fully free floated in that chassis? I am searching for answers and a few have said there needs to be a pressure point near the end of the stock, or even fully bedded to the end of the stock. My reciever to barrel fit was very tight, I had to heat up the reciever to install, so I don't think that is where my issues are. Still searching, why I'm here!

[@asknight]

Was that red loctite on the scope base screws?

[@tominmo8865]

Lots of good comments here. Very true about optimizing the action screw torque. -- I have a 1995 10/22 Target with the original hammer-forged barrel and its nice wood stock. Rather heavy. I had the Ruger bolt redone by CPC (Connecticut Precision Chambering), and installed the Kidd recoil spring and guide rod and the Kidd "Trigger Job" drop-in trigger kit. So for the gun + about $180 I have a 0.5 MOA gun at 100 yards. No kidding, pardon the pun. ;-) Shot two 5-shot groups at 100 yards with SK Pistol Match Special. First group was .70". Second was .50". Decided to not shoot any more groups as I was ecstatic with that result. This 10/22 humiliates all my bolt-action 22s, including two nice CZs. -- Strongly recommend you send your barreled action to CPC for the full tuneup. Bolt, trigger and barrel. THE best bang-for-buck in 10/22 improvement, IMO. You will love the improvement. Also IMO, what stock the action is in is the last consideration, to be done after all other mods are made. BTW the scope on the 10/22 for the above two groups was a $60 Chinese scope off Amazon, set at 24X. I used a cheap bipod and a rear bag.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching.

No problem 👍

[@JJGuccione]

Why a 20 MOA rail for a 50-yard rifle?

[@archer721]

Wow! My all factory Ruger 10/22 target rifle shoots dime size groups with CCI Blazer... I think you have issue with your rifle.

[@tommyroberts867]

My Factory Ruger 10/22 will shoot with that gun. That's a lot of money for a gun that doesn't shoot any better than that

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Right, that’s basically the point of this video. I’m not sure it’s worth it to put a bunch of money in a 10-22.

[@danulman8837]

In the last two NRL/PRS type 22 matches I’ve come in second and first place shooting against Voodoo, Bergera and CZ rifles and shooting to 200 yards. I’m shooting a 10/22 action with a Feddersen barrel in an Archangel stock. I wish I could post my picture of 10 shots at 50 yards with SK Long Range Match which is EASILY covered by a dime and will do that all day. Hate to say it but your barrel has never been known to be really accurate. The only barrels I currently own are Kidd and Feddersen-tried all the others……..

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

@@danulman8837 I agree. Literally all I said about this barrel is that it’s better than factory. I’m certain I could eventually spend enough money to make this thing hammer but I won’t be doing that.

[@danulman8837]

I got the receiver from a 70 dollar pawn shop purchase, the Feddersen barrel cost 170 bucks and the Archangel stock was 140 bucks. The most expensive single component of the rifle was the Kidd two stage trigger assembly that cost around 260 bucks at the time. I beat more than a few 1800 to 2200 dollar bolt guns in my last two matches….. on the discriminator timed stages used to split score ties, I absolutely kick their butts! 😎

[@damingrail3655]

A 10/22 can be competitive. That is just not good results. I compete with 10/22 NRL22 stock Receiver and Bolt(Polished up), KIDD Trigger kit (2lbs), KIDD charging and springs, KIDD 20" Heavy SS target. Was in Boyd's At-one Last year This year upgraded to MDT Orxy. Oh yeah and Shooting SK STD Plus.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

I agree, they "can" be competitive, but you have to spend a lot of money to get them there. That was the point I was trying to make with this video. At what point do you just build a custom bolt action 22LR? Seems like it would be a better choice in the long run.

[@damingrail3655]

@@PrecisionRifleNetwork To a point yes. But I did mine on a budget Piece By Piece. I worked with what I had. Where If I was going to drop a lump sum I would probably go with a Bolt gun alternative. But even with a Bolt If I started with a Base CZ.. You would go through the same process of upgrades. Stock, Trigger, Chassis.. So apples to apples.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

[@Riley_1955]

Very nice video ..... Those were some pretty ugly groups up until the Eley match ...... That is a very nice looking stock ...... I built me a custom 10/22 last year and used the Victor Titan22 stock and it is an absolute keeper ...... If you put a KIDD barrel with a better trigger I think it would be a tack driver.

[@MysticPrecision]

Can a 10/22 be competitive? Yes... proper bedding is critical. Good barrels, Lapua CenterX, tuner... no different then a bolt rifle.

never had great accuracy from my tac-sol barrel....

agree, they are not amazing from what I've seen.

[@jonleone777]

I really like the krg stock but have a question. Im left-handed and curious if that black knob can be moved to the othef side of the stock or is therd a smaller knob.
