Ruger 10/22 survival rifle setup

I've got the same set up except for the pouch which is ingenious for keeping the items in the rear from rattling around so I think I might use something similar great vid!

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you for the reply. I really like the backpacker. The pouch was very useful.

[@kyleloper6921]

That pouch is fantastic. Handy and keeps the stock contents from rattling. Seriously smart thinking. Gonna have to see if I can find something similar.

[@johnturman1776]

It is a awesome addition. 🤙

[@fightingmonk123]

Keep creating art / videos. It's the best way to get to the top!

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you.

[@stevemiller7433]

I really like the Backpacker stock on the Ruger take down. I find the basic takedown rifle rather pointless, it is too heavy to qualify as a backpack gun. The backpacker stock is lighter and helps keep the system compact and self contained. The best change I made was the purchase of a Volquartsen barrel, Carbon fiber sleeve over a lightweight barrel. It took a lot of weight off the system and the accuracy is superior. A BX trigger and a compact Red dot improve the system, the threaded barrel and my Silencer Co. Sparrow go together well.

[@johnturman1776]

That's awesome. Thank you. I may put a Volquartsen barrel on it at some point.

[@miguellucero]

Right now my Takedown seems to be set up like yours except for the Volquartsen Barrel. You recommend the Barrel and BX trigger is potentially all you need? I was also thinking of receiver and trigger pack but then you’re getting into “just buy a new gun” territory.

[@jmack23]

Great job giving insight to your 10 22. I wasn't sure which sights go put on mine but you raised a good point about red dot possibly dying. But I don't want a huge scoop either. Nice set up though.

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you! I would love to see what optic you go with.

[@user-ny9yf7hk7l]

Thanks for this great video. Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@johnturman1776]

🇳🇱 I appreciate your time. Netherlands!! That's awesome!

[@johnwilliams8654]

I've been trying to decide between a red dot and scope for mine. I like how small the red dot is, but like you mentioned, I'll have to make sure I have batteries for it.

[@johnturman1776]

Primary arms has a micro prism that would be perfect. It has a etched reticle. It will function a lot like a red dot. However you can still run it without power. Here is a link. www.opticsplanet.com/primary-arms-slx-1x-micro-prism-scope.html

[@mandaloresmercy]

I'm considering a 3x prism. Size of red dot but has an etched reticle as well like a normal scope. Compact

[@johnturman1776]

Those are really good optics.

[@Arizona.Ranger]

Stumbled across your video and looks good! Could you tell me what brand pouch that is? I have been looking for something like that for a while. Thanks!

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you. I made the pouch myself. I used 550D cordura

[@Arizona.Ranger]

ha that's why I can't find it. Awesome work brother. Do you make these for sale?

[@johnturman1776]

@@Arizona.Ranger I do sometimes. It's not an item a make a lot of.

What is the name of the song you have playing. I can’t seem to find it. Thanks and great concept rifle

[@johnturman1776]

I do not remember the exact name of it. At the time I was getting my music for videos from epidemic sound.

[@thomaspalmer7900]

Great video!!! I also own a Ruger 10/22 rifle wooden stick but hey it’s still a 10/22. I purchased this rifle for survival in needed God forbid & I hope to squirrel hunt & coyote hunt with it!! Subscribed!!!👍👍

[@johnturman1776]

10/22 is a classic. The perfect gun for small game

[@bothetinman772]

This is a fantastic rifle. I’ve got a few takedowns. But my favorite one is the 10/22 X-ring takedown from Tactical Solutions. The improvements that they’ve done really bring this platform to near perfection. If you get the opportunity to check one out, jump on it. And they’re based out of Boise.

[@johnturman1776]

I am familiar with Tactical Solutions. They are a fantastic company! I love their products.

[@johnturman1776]

.22 LR in general is notorious for issues as it is unless you're running a bolt gun. I have seen guys spend a stupid amount of money on .22 builds that just sit in a safe 🤷‍♂️ I like shooting my guns. If I don't dump a ton of cash in one I have no issues going out and shooting tells the sun goes down with it.

[@bothetinman772]

@The Trashman sounds like you’ve been drinking the knockoff brand Kool-Aid. Flavor-ade, the beverage of the poors. When I go shooting, it goes too.

[@izzydurham9525]

I had a scope on mine for a while but I’ve found that I love the iron sights, they’re honestly really accurate and easy to find.

[@johnturman1776]

Iron sights are great. I have used irons more than optics on the .22 firearms.

[@erniewalden3050]

Bad ass stock. Coolest thing sense biscuts n gravy

[@johnturman1776]

I agree it is.

[@derekw5027]

theres another small compartment inside the butt plate. its not massive but your able to put small items there as well

[@johnturman1776]

I have a small fire kit in that

[@monkeyboi9979]

Love the build

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you, MonkeyBoi 🤙

[@banshee107]

Thank you

[@chandlerhamilton3710]

Awesome rifle I plan on doing something similar when i get my new 1022

[@johnturman1776]

Awesome! I would love to see it when you do.

[@johncole5175]

Mounting scope on reciever portion of takedown rifle no bueno for holding zero. Magpull makes a mount for barrel portion for this reason. Usually people mount red dot due to the forward mounting location though.

[@johnanderson3405]

Pretty neat little setup. 👍

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you, John.

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you.

[@rmcgraw7943]

I keep a lense cleaner in my small extra butt stock container on the stock. I have a double soloman sling I created with various splits in it to allow for vertical tie downs of a knife, compass, 25 capacity mags, etc. I have auto-opening scope covers. I have a Yankee Hill silencer, so I dont made any sound. And, then, lastly, my mounts are American Defense QD so I can break it all down into a small enough package to easily fit in my backpack. My scope is a leopold, but only 30mm 1.4x4, but I have the same mounts on my .22M so I can swap the scopes between .22LR and .22M, although the ballistics are different, but that’s ok if you know them. Great guns. HOw much ammo do you have for yours, the .22LR?

[@johnturman1776]

Sounds like a good setup.

[@johnwood2320]

Mr.Turman, I'm very much interested in the pouch you design for the 10/22. I would be willing to pay you for two of them in all black, if interested, please let me know!

[@johnturman1776]

At the current time I have been very busy with my full time job. When I do get some time I will post an update.

[@johnwood2320]

Thank you, for the reply and the update!👍

[@notazip6814]

Takedown doesn’t hold zero after being taken down , scope is about worthless unless mounted to the barrel section

[@johnturman1776]

I have not experienced that. That's why they put a way to tighten the play from the barrel. As long as that stays consistent you will not have a issue. It's definitely not going to shoot sub-MOA the goal is to hit small game at practical distances.

[@f8widescat392]

Butler Creek Folding Stock, Enough said. Lol.

[@johnturman1776]

Yeah those are nice too!

[@Alaska610ish]

I’ve had that for 30 years….. BULLET PROOF!

[@NobleSavage44]

“72” International Scout would be cool too, but no longer made either.

[@crossmedhunt]

Did you end up getting a Magpul QD sling connections or doing something else? I am interested in options for putting a sling on mine.

[@dylancracken]

nvm. u asked if he ended up getting them lol. miss read that

[@johnturman1776]

I have not gotten them as of yet. When I do I can post a update video

[@187documents4]

can you provide link or model number for the scope? thanks!

[@johnturman1776]

Tasco 3-9x40 Riflescope

[@johnturman1776]

It was a Walmart scope. Not super high-end. I have received a new scope that I am testing out. I will post an updated video after testing is complete and give my thoughts. So it is a nice optic for this setup.

[@johnturman1776]

I added a link in the description.

[@rcrighter4319]

You didn't MAKE the sling ... You MODIFIED the sling.

[@johnturman1776]

I made the entire sling.

[@MrCee-eq9fe]

Nice 👍🏽

[@johnturman1776]

Thank you

[@Gabthar]

I never understood the purpose and showing the weapon is clear on camera. Is anybody afraid that they will get shot through the internet?

[@johnturman1776]

Lol I know. All those video range safety officers lol. It is a good habit to get into. I always check my firearms. It builds safe habits.

[@Gabthar]

fair enough

[@Alaska610ish]

Someone complains every time you don’t clear it.

Yes. It is the Magpul FDE color.

[@royjohnson465]

Should never have any semi-auto 22LR for a survival rifle. But rather a stainless steel bolt-action (or lever-action) 22LR is the best. We are not fighting a war but instead just for killing small game to eat for food.

[@johnturman1776]

Roy Johnson, thank you for your comment. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a semi-auto 10/22 for a survival gun. Best Survival Rifle? Ruger 10/22 Rimfire - Ron Spomer Outdoors Here is some interesting information on this topic. I don't think a bolt action or even a lever action is a good choice for “survival” .22. Don't get me wrong, both are really good firearms. I grew up hunting with both. If you are in a survival situation there is a high likelihood of having an injury. In the chance that an arm is injured this will make it very difficult to run the action on those firearms. I have found having the ability to make fast follow-up shots on small games is a very important feature to have in a survival rifle. As far as “fighting a war.” I would not fight any war with the .22lr at all. It is just not suitable for that. The 10/22 has never been used as a fighting rifle. Yes, some military has used them for special occasions like aircraft survival and some other things. They have never been used as a direct fighting weapon. John Turman.
