The Most Accurate 10/22 I have Ever Shot: Clark Custom Ruger 10/22

#ruger

[@Kraals]

I had the great privilege of spending time in Jim Clark Sr."s shop in the mid-seventies. Our item of interest was 1911s back then, but the hand fit, no holds barred quality attitude, his grandsons show today, originated in JC Sr.'s shop in Keithville, La. I also met Jim Clark Jr. at their operation in Princeton, La. They still use some of the same equipment used by their grandpa. BTW, Jim Clark Sr. was a Marine and served in WWII.

[@Dayattherange]

Yes sir well aware of Mr. Jim Clark's legacy. I know one thing he is a hard act to follow as you stated but his tutelage for these young men made a lasting impression. I am not affiliated they did not give me a discount of any kind.

It took me a sec from “she walked out with my Kidd “ to get what you meant. What a wonderful video. Subscribed

[@johne1653]

I enjoy your videos. Your self deprecating humor is awesome.

[@usmclee65]

New subscriber. thanks you young man great video!

[@Strutingeagle]

Don't worry about it big fella. I have seen way too many of your videos where you had bug hole groups and then the last shot was a flyer. You got disappointed for a few seconds and like water off a ducks back you walked away from it. Nobody doubts your credibility and when you get good groups on camera or even if you did some off camera or the footage was blurry, it is genuine. Thanks for the vid.

[@Dayattherange]

Strut man I always appreciate your encouragement thank you!

[@MrBubajunk]

Great video , While I've gone through a number of barrels on my 10/22 most notably a fluted 20" Elysium .920 and most recently a 16" .920 Kidd barrel both proving to be extremely accurate. I did however put a Clark mid weight barrel on one of my 77/22s and that this shoots like a dream now. Don't know why I had waited so long to switch out the pencil thin factory barrel . Again great video and thanks for sharing . SEMPER FI !!!

[@Dayattherange]

Semper Fi Brother

[@michaelcunningham6641]

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT !!! best shooting gun IV seen you shoot !!!.. that thing is gorgeous too !!!wish I could send you couple pictures of my 10/22's I built !!!

[@Dayattherange]

dude you can just email them to me mr.revolverguy AT dayattherange.com

[@sammylacks4937]

Thank you for your service. You didn't say but Im.guesing Nam. If that's the case , this comes late. Welcome home soldier.

[@valvalentini987]

Your accuracy has improved with your position behind the rifle Val

[@Dayattherange]

I am not so sure Val that is uncomfortable as you can get with those tables. But I will see how this goes trying to adjust myself to get more comfortable.

[@valvalentini987]

@Dayattherange Well, with shooting, it's what ever position your more comfortable with. I always enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming. Have a nice Thanksgiving. Val PS: I mostly shoot a Winchester 52C and a CZ 452 Military Trainer.

[@Dayattherange]

@@valvalentini987 Oh man you have grandad a 52C very nice. Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving.

[@realtruth4259]

VIDEO WAS FINE... SHOOTING EVEN BETTER..... BET MISSES DAY AT THE RANGE WOULD B SHOOTING ONE HOLE GROUPS 🤣🤣🤣🤣 GR8 VIDEO THNX #GODWINS

[@danlee3011]

OOH RAH

[@Win52D]

I built a 10/22 similar to what you have there. I used their tapered bull barrel with an accurized bolt, Richard Microfit stock similar to yours and a little trigger work. As a silhouette rifle it is great. Don't think the accuracy is up to that level but it isn't far behind.

[@stevenxindaris1477]

Clark had a problem with turning out guns like Clark senior had turned out before his passing. Clark seniors attention to detail was second to none. It was a hard act to follow. Clark turns out good guns today, will they live up to Senior’s legacy? It is hard to beat perfection.

[@Dayattherange]

After this one specimen I say give the boys a try WOW. But I do understand my buddy has a mkII from them and wow

[@absolute99proof]

That's what I'm talking about! Would love to see this one in the Turkey challenge!

[@Dayattherange]

Hehehehehehe MAYBE you will LOL.

[@Dayattherange]

Oh what the heck here ya go kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJuceXiwmpqDmpI

[@125saito]

Nice, nice, nice! Big guy I had a big old cringe on that dry fire.

[@Dayattherange]

I know right LOL

[@stevenxindaris1477]

Actually had the opportunity to examine and shoot a couple of 1911’s that Clark Sr. had built for my senior instructor when I was in AMU. They were pieces of art. Slickest most close toleranced actions I have ever seen and triggers like glass. Clark jr. turns out good guns but very seldom does someone surpass the master. Clark Sr. would be a hard act to follow. I wouldn’t want to be the one who came after him. Just as good wouldn’t be enough. You would have to surpass him by a bunch before people would give you the credit you deserve.

[@Dayattherange]

Yes agree their sons and grandsons are in a tough position. But I know one thing Dad and Grandad are looking down smiling -- keep going Clark!

[@richardreed2839]

Nice rifle. A little bit of a cold bore issue maybe. Great after its warm. Im going to look into Clark rifles thanks

[@tomallyne6359]

Great shooter. 2 lessons for me: Try getting behind the rifle. Don’t brake cheek weld, which I have a lot of problems trying to correct. That may be due to the rear bag I am using. Great video.

[@22waysoutdoors]

Goodness gracious!

[@garymeyer3294]

Some of the best advice given and taken is get BEHIND your rifle. I think that advice is contributing greatly to your improvement in groups. Other things...don't break your cheek weld between shots (which you didn't do in this video) and get your parallax fine tuned, even at 50 yards. The best clarity is not necessarily your best parallax. Set your scope for best clarity then bob your head up and down until you see absolutely no movement between your reticle dot or center ant the target your aiming at. It may be only a 64th of an inch in knob movement but it makes a difference when your aiming at a 1/8th inch target.

[@Dayattherange]

Absolutely, it's often why you do not see my make many scope adjustments on camera trying to cut out the unnecessary. There is a parallax adjustment routine that goes on. Whn the camera is on I am just trying to get thru and keep it short.

[@timmyl2005]

LOL I Can Respect that!! I Have ADHD If i Made this Video It would Have been an Hour and 10 min. 😆Great Video. Thank you @@Dayattherange

[@rustynut1967]

It feels more natural to be straight behind the gun to me, but those T-shaped benches make it hard to get comfortable. Getting your rest out towards the end of the forearm helped to. Nice rig and shooting.

[@Dayattherange]

The tables are just an abomination for it and every range you go to have them like that.

[@cervus-venator]

Love it!!

[@davidpipes777]

The rifle will outshoot you every time. If it’s not one hole, YOU did something wrong. I tried every, yes, every .22 shell I could find and none disappointed! Don’t remember any groups over a nickel. Have fun with your new toy.

[@buncha5651]

I like your reviews, but I would prefer to see more reviews of stock .22 lr rifles.

[@randysmith7040]

You won today!

[@Dayattherange]

Yes sir even a blind squirrel

[@clobbersnoggin623]

What ammo is it?

[@blackout9814]

Wow!

[@chrisspanks7750]

What a nice gun. Minus the scope how much do you have in it ? Thanks for the videos

[@Dayattherange]

Paid the standard price on their website. I was shocked to see I could buy one a tad cheaper than building one myself with quality parts.

[@Rimfire208]

Love all your videos but… It’s all your fault. All your fault. After accidentally finding out about a Clark, while looking for a different 22 other than the typical ones I see for my NRL22 efforts, and watching lots of Clark videos, I was drawn in. Then I was glad to see your videos on Clark and you sealed the deal. It’s all your fault. After reading as much as I could find, and not wanting to have a rifle like everyone else has on course, it’s so your fault… I pulled the trigger on one. It will soon be here. Cerakote dark earth action , black 16.25” Walther steel 0.92” bull barrel, on a Magpul Hunter X-22 stock. It’s all your fault - and thank you!!!😊

[@absolute99proof]

What height are your scope rings? I have a custom 10/22 with an Arken Optic and it sits high.

[@Dayattherange]

They are high rings but not every high ring is created equal lol. So 1,19in high The vortex rings are 1.25in high for example

[@joelclark2130]

It's not good enough to win in a bench rest match. At 50 yards, it needs to hit exactly 1/8 scale of an m+m in the 10 ring. Otherwise that shake your hand and say thanks for showing up.

[@donkeyfluffer]

Peanut or plain?

[@paulstakun8249]

Hey wait! This isn't a Ruger. Ruger is a cheap gun and I would never spend a nickel to make it a target gun. Bettcha this gun has very few OEM Ruger parts. Rugers are ok in their orginal form, but I will never spend money to "upgrade" those cheap guns. I did it twice and it was still a piece of crap.

[@timmyl2005]

Just Curious If Ruger is a Cheap Gun and also a ( Piece of Crap ) I Have to ask Why did you Spend Money Not Once But Twice?? Self Admittedly ya did it Twice? Maybe i missed something? OLD SAYING Says: There are three kinds of men: ones that learn by reading, few who learn by observation, and the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves. You Must Be that 3rd Guy HUH? 😁😂

[@garywoodlief1976]

To me it is not a 10 22 after you change everthing on it

[@kevcom82]

It’s still a 10/22 platform. What gun enthusiast doesn’t mod out a rifle here and there lol!

[@Dayattherange]

@@kevcom82 Well nothing is changed except for the barrel, the receiver is standard Ruger.

[@timmyl2005]

Haters Going to Hate. LOL Good Stuff Shoot on !!@@Dayattherange
