saweeeet

[vvilly]

all ready for my trip to tekapo brought a brick to go with it lol

[flyingbrick]

[vvilly]

lol haha yup forgot about that part lol


its a 10/22 ruger with a fully suppressed stainless barrel and hogue stock with a 3-9/40 luminous scope.


here are what they come out standard like


but you can buy so much accessories for them (like the mrs hand bag)

or customize them like this

still just a .22 though

[Swamped]

Ahh and I thought it was a cool volquartsen. Looked like one I used to own.
The 10/22 is the most customised firearm in the states. You can get all kinds of tricked out shit for them. ie that video. My current one isn't what you'd call stock but it shoots magpies out too ~150 yds. Have to aim 5.5mil high and 1.5mil to the right with the stock barrel from memory.

Just fire a couple rounds and see if its gouging the next round in the mag. Stopping this made mine a lot better, as did recrowning it which i had to do out of the box.
And subs were far more accurate at longer ranges than supers.

More deer are shot illegally in the U.S with a 22 than with any other calibre.

how did you do that?????


yeah ive got a box of subs for it see how she goes

i played with my mates one the other night (fully suppressed) as well all you could hear was the action


so i had to go out and get it haha

so what mods you done to yours


next on the cards is a bigger target trigger i think, already got the plastic buffer for behind the bolt

[vvilly]

still just a .22 though

yup still just a .22 lol

[Swamped]

I took the slide out and ground a little bit off the corner that picks up the rounds. Need to be very careful as if you cake it, it won't cycle.

Floating the barrel helped mine a lot. If thats a hogue stock it may have aluminium bedding.

Polymer buffer saves the receiver and the slide from excessive damage.

I lightened my factory trigger myself cos the one they come with is crap. Changed to a volquartsen assembly later. Be careful if your filing the firing tab on the top of the assembly cos if you file the wrong one it goes full auto.

You can mod the slide lock mechanism so it auto releases when the slide is pulled too.

Keep in mind I knew what I was doing and any of this will may void any warranty but its possible to turn your stock semi into a super tack driver. Mine gives my anschutz a run for its money now.

Rim fire in a National park = illegal

were did he say he was shooting in a national park?

[DieselBoy]

He didn't

But if I had a new rifle and was going to Tekapo, I know were I would be heading with it, up one of the valleys

So in case thats what he was thinking about doing, i thought i might point out that it was illegal to take a rim fire rifle.

No harm done eh, just putting it out there

There's plenty of bunny popping to be done around Tekapo on private land with a rim fire, which he might be doing.

He didn't say

Take a chill pill

[juz]

All Good! as you were..

[vvilly]

on one side of the fence we have baron doc land and on the other we have meridian energy (tekapo river bed) so i think i might be alright.

[Landynut]

How much did that cost you all told? looks nice... Think I'll stick with my ancient chinese .22 tho, after 20,000 odd rounds I can still put a single round into a deers earhole at 100 yards time and time and time and time again....... and no, not in a national park, doc might think you are trying to harvest wood pigeons

[vvilly]

i work in Hamills north Canterbury on my days off so i got it alot cheaper than it would be retailed for, the package cost would be around 16-18 hundy


i will only shoot wood pidgens if they are brushing there teeth

[kbjj]

Is this new toy so you can attempt to keep up with a Nissan?...like pop my tyres?

HOLY crap ! I was thinking maybe 8 or 9 hundy........

only if its brushing its teeth at a doc campsite off a public road I hope....................

[flyingbrick]

So is it a normal .22? or is a 10-22 more of a varmint rifle? Confused because its suppressed and shooting subsonics.

you know that round thing off the back of my truck where the blue strap hangs from?????

thats called attach your nissan here point

[vvilly]

around $5-600


around 7-800


around12-1300


plus a green hogue stock around 250

scope anything from 50 bucks to what ever yo want i spent 180

bipod Around 100

and a sling around 50-100 bucks so it does add up

[Swamped]

Yeah mine was a wood model maybe $500,
~$200 Harris bipod
$600 hawke scope
$60 rings
$70 maybe slip on suppressor
$20 polymer bolt buffer
$250 volquartsen tg2000 trigger group
$30 recrown

Its real easy for it to build up. I only did this cos my work can get the bits and i did the machining/bedding/assembly myself.

A suppressor quietens down all catridges you realise? Supers still have the crack to the projectile where as subs don't = silent death Autos are always a bit louder than bolts though.

The hogue stocks and the cost of putting those suppressors on is ridiculous aye. Internally they are identical between all the models except some have the nice mag release and auto bolt release stock I think.

[flyingbrick]

argh didn't realise it was the rifles model name

[7mm Rem Magnum]

I have a 10/22 stainless barrel/synthetic stock which I have modded the trigger on. This thing has harvested a few thou rabbits and other pests over the years on private land and groups well. My .17 hmr mag was more accurate at much longer ranges, but once the breeze came up forget it (and the .22 mag).

[vvilly]

i was tossing up over a HMR but ended up getting one of there

im having fun with it
next up will be a m1500 howa .204 start saving again lol

[petefj40]

Nice bit of kit there Jase.

Someone mentioned Volquartsen?

That's my favourite toy.
Mine is just a 10 x LR.22 but has a fully suppressed barrel, super lite, laser sited in for around 30m and a 3X9/45mm Leupold optics. I have a Haris bi pod but hardly use it.
But like someone said, it's just a .22
My kit set me back 3k all up.

[petefj40]

next up will be a m1500 howa .204 start saving again lol

My next favourite round, the .204
I had a Weatherby .204 with Nikon optics. 9X32/50mm. Was just too heavy for me. Great groupings @ 200m+

[T-Boon]

I love the rugers, got two of em.

[pruggerdore]

Rim fire in a National park = illegal

Gun ignorant ... so rim fire opposed too centre fire ? is where the firing pin hits? correct? so why one allowed one not? is it rim fire =auto firing or something. ?
