I've been steering more towards .22's lately both for my plinkers and my woods guns. Ammo cost has a lot to do with it, but its also because they're so darn handy and easy to shoot. I had my pile of 10/22's out today.

- A stainless 10/22 with a BSA Green dot sight and Tapco stock

- A new Ruger Charger with BSA Red dot sight

- A slick little Ruger CRR with fiber optic sights

That Tapco stock is pretty tacticool. My 10-22 is a graden variety SS model with the factory stock. I have scoped it (need one now) and it's amazingly accurate just stock. I've got a mess of the Butler Creek magazines but I find I just put two or three factory 10 round mags in one pocket and a box or two of .22 in the other. I've got a lot of hi-cap firearms but as I get older I sort of have gotten away from blasting a lot of rounds downrange and seem to shoot slower now.

Does the Tapco stock telescope or is it just a looks thing?
 
It telescopes as well. Pretty handy actually as I can adjust it depending on what clothing I have on and for other shooters as well. It's comfortable too. And it is tacti-cool as you say :p

I have a bunch of high caps for teh guns but I do agree, a couple of 10's in the pocket are good to go. That's all I use with the CRR which is my current preference for a camp gun. 16" barrel and a short, trim stock. It carries like a dream. I just wish I could hunt with a semi in PA!
 
Come to Idaho. ;)

I've got three AR carbines with the telescoping stocks and they handle very nicely. I could see doing that to my 10-22, especially if it lengthens the pull any.
 
Furthest out position is longer than a stock 10/22. I think , anyway. I haven't had a regular stock on mine in years!!
 
Here's a better shot of the Tapco stock and CRR (that's before I swapped out the dot sights)

Thats a good set of 22's. My last couple of fiearms hae been in this caliber. You can't beat a 22 for plinking fun.

How do you like the Charger? I have been wanting one since they came out but can decide if its for me. I already have a 22 conversion for my AR and a Ruger Single Six. I am thinking this wouldbe a nice middle man.
 
Own 3, but this one, with a free-floating barrel, Trijicon reflex sight, and a few other mods is my favorite.

I dunno yet. I haven't even had a chance to shoot it! It's pretty neat though. I like the concept of it and the fact that its compatible with my 10/22 rifles.

I also have a 4" MK II and a 4 5/8" Single Six and will stick with those for belt guns. The Charger should be fun though.
 
Cool looking 10/22's 'Ol Bud :thumbup: I have the CRR model & the DSP model. both have had trigger work done & they both shoot good. I have a bushnell 3x9x32 rimfire scope on the DSP model but I left my little CRR plain.
I also have a Savage 64FV .22LR & it will out shoot either of my 10/22 ;)
 
that tapco stock is calling me name!

I've never worked with a Savage semi but I am eyeballing their rimfires. A good .22 bolt action is on my wish list for this year. I have a Romanian M-69 trainer which is surprisingly nice and shoots well but its a basic rifle with fixed sights. I want a heavy barrel model with optics. I looked at a bunch at SHOT and am pretty much narrowed down to a Savage MK II BTVS with Accutrigger. Really slick set up that handles well for me and is fairly affordable. Supposed to be very accurate as well.
 
great looking guns Tim...:thumbup: nice to see ya here.. i need to get me another .22... i really like that stainless 10/22 with a BSA Green dot sight and Tapco stock.. that thing is cool...:eek: i bet it's a lot of fun to shoot...

I dunno yet :D I just got it last weekend and got mounted the sight this weekend. Hopefully the weather holds for a bit and I can get to the range.
