Hey all.
Been thinking about springtime. I’d like to get back into shooting my 10/22 Target again and I was talking about it with my shooting buddy that has maybe a dozen target 22lr rifles.
I have a 10/22 Target model from about 15 years ago that I have a nice thumb hole stock and bipod on. I’ve put probably 10K through it but it’s been over 8 years since I’ve done any volume shooting with it. Mine has the heavy stainless steel barrel with the flat sections that kinda spiral around it the entire length. I hope you understand what I’m describing cause I don’t know any other way to describe it.
What I was thinking about is whether to sell or trade mine and get into something else, maybe a more accurate rifle. I also thought whether it would be better to upgrade it with some Volquartsen parts starting with the trigger.
Now I can’t afford a VUDOO…that’s way outta my budget. So I thought I’d put a stop on the price point of $1,000.
What I’d like to hear from you guys and gals is what sub $1,000 rifle do you believe is most accurate and fun to shoot from say 25 to 150 yards. I do all my shooting from a bench…..so no prone or standing off hand stuff.
OR…would I be just as good if I were to take my rifle and upgrade some of the parts with good aftermarket target stuff?
My rifle is a 10/22 but I don’t mind a bolt action. I’d like it to use higher capacity magazines though as I don’t want to be loading 5 or 10 round mags all the time. That’s not a requirement though…just a nice thing to have for me.
so….what do you think? If you had what I currently have and wanted to be competitive with your buddy that has a dozen great rifles to pick from, what would you do or what rifle would you pick?
The only one I’ve read even a little about is the series from CZ. I like the one that has the deep grip and short barrel. I think it’s around $700 or so. I haven’t looked into anything else.
thank you for your time ands by help you care to give.
have a good week guys and gals.
