Here is a 10/22 I've been slowly building for the last year. I call it Mod 0 because there are already several changes in the works.

Specs:
Boyds Tacticool Stock
Kidd Bolt, Jeweled with diamond coating
Kidd Lightweight 16.5" Barrel, threaded
Kidd Buffer
Kidd Charging handle, guide rod and spring
POF Brake (take off that I had lying around, temporary)
Metal trigger group with PC internals
Falcon 4-14 Mil-Mil FFP
Badger EBR Alloy rings
Kidd standard height base

Mods on the way:

Rhineland Leopard stock, I think the proximity of the grip to trigger is going to be helpful for his tiny hands. Plus the adjust-ability will make it easy to grow along with him.

SWR Suppressor. When he saw the rifle he said," WOW, COOL Dad. But, it needs a suppressor!". Who can argue with that???

Switching out the rings to NF Alloy lows, these are too high for his tiny head, and I know someone else who needs them!

A very fun project for me and I think it will be a gift that he will appreciate more over the years. He is only six now, but he has great taste ;)

Merry Christmas all!

Oh, and the obligatory Busse content ;)

So sweet!

My first gun was a .10-22 my dad gave me for Christmas 20+ years ago. Still going strong, and still one of my favorite guns, and a Christmas present I will always remember.

Of course, mine was stock. None of the super awesome goodies you have on that beauty!
 
Would you please adopt me . . . :D

Great gift and training him well. Before you know it he'll be asking for a 300WM.
 
What an awesome Dad!

I love the Ruger 10/22. That was my first rifle. Oh the memories of walking in the woods and plinking. Good times.
 
Very nice, wish I had one when I was that young. Better buy lots of ammo,,, :D



What's the can in the last pic? Warlock?
 
Awesome present. He is going to love it. Just be sure to take him shooting a lot!!


I got my 10 y.o. daughter a Smith&Wesson M&P 15-22 AR rifle with Burris fastfire red dot sight this year. It is what she asked for so who am I to say no. She is already eyeing some Busse knives..... maybe next year:)
 
My first gun was a 10/22 also.

My dad won it in a raffle when I was 10ish




Not all that accurate but good at getting a lot of bullets out when trying to shoot crow

I would buy another one in a heartbeat. I have had the opportunity to use what I believe to be a fair amount of suppressors, and while there are better out there, it comes to a point of diminished returns fairly quickly. The SAS has all the right features at the right price. Mine has been 100% repeatable with minimal shift from suppressed to unsuppressed. On my 300WM the shift is 2 MOA, on my MK11 it is 1 MOA and on my POF415 the shift is so small that I don't even dial it. I have attachments for every precision center fire rifle that I own. Tim (the owner) will make an attachment in whatever threading you need at a very reasonable price. He's hard to get a hold of, and requires some patience when you place your order, but in my opinion it is very much worth it.


For fun, more Busse's!!

looks like a future sniper to me:D

Hey, that's my old SHBM:D

funny, I got my girls a stainless 10/22 and the walther p22 to shoot. The 10/22 is such a great rifle.
 
NICE!

Took my 11 yr old daughter out on Thursday with the 10/22. Blew away a six-pack of Moxie. Also pulled out the FBI milkbottle steel target and dinged that for a bit as well. She had fun. Taking out the 13 yr old THIS thursday. She got jealous. :)
 
everybody has to have a red ryder, got a regular one for me and a pink on for da misses, and then the 10/22 is a must, one of the best 22's our there...
