Excellent build. My 10-22 is pretty much stock, but agree, if in a SHTF situation where I am foraging, if I can only carry one rifle, that is going to be it.

I have a Savage Scout .308, with a 2x7 forward mounted scope, and 7 10 round mags, as backup, if I am doing day trips, where I have a secure place to come back to, and am trying to get a hog or deer for food. The weight of the weapon is less than a pound more, and for firepower no comparison, but ammo weight and availability is a big, big deal if I am bugging out and tossing fortune to the wind.

Well done, sir, great choice in both caliber and build. I know, rimfire, tons are going to weigh in and say how unreliable it is, every rimfire rifle I've ever owned is not a big deal to clear if you get a bad round. On the 10-22, just rack the bolt, unlike the Remingtons and Savage auto loaders I've owned in the past, will clean everything up and feed a fresh round, rock on.

 

Check out the Eley HV HP ammo. It should tighten up that group a bit. Another thing to try is a Kidd trigger. Mine is AMAZING. Will not make your rifle more accurate but it will make you able to get more accuracy out of it.

 

The flyer was the 8th round of a 8 round group. Since normal groupings are shot with 5 rounds we will call it a sub 1” group. A sub 1” group at 25 yards with a autoloading takedown .22 using a 3 moa red dot is more than acceptable to me. If you look at the March shooting shooting challenge I split 5 index cards at 25 yards using the iron sights and only firing a total of 9 rounds rounds. It has the BX trigger which is a huge improvement over the standard trigger already. I see no need for further upgrade.

Glock 9mm PCC, folding survival tool.

Hard to kill a pig with a 22LR, and squirrels/pidgeons don't fill you up.

 

I’ve killed deer with a .22 and we don’t have any pigs around here.

I love the 10/22 but. . . .

WROL: AR-15 because it is efficient at most rifle tasks.

TEOTWAWKI: AK clone because it is almost as simple as a stone tomahawk.

 

Being able to carry a thousand+ rounds of ammo so easily makes the .22 win out on many levels and it can most certainly kill a human, pig or deer. The only downside is rimfire reliability. Cool rifle.

 

Nice setup. I know you’ve got a lot of $ in that and a lot of thought. I’ve got an integrally suppressed 10/22 with a Hogue stock. It’s light, quiet and reliable.
I’d like to create a 10/22 Takedown off the Charger with SB Brace and onboard suppressor. Little backpacker gun. Just another project. I like having future wants, gives me a little something to work towards.

That integrally suppressed 1022 is hot.

 

Nice setup. One day I'll do a similar build with a KGMade EOS barrel. I'd probably go with a tiny red dot on a QD mount. Something like a Holosun 507.

 

It’s been years in the making but it just keeps getting better and better. 10/22 takedown with Magpul X22 backpacker stock. I’ve added QD Studs a MS4 sling, Volquartsen Bolt upgrade kit, Volquartsen auto bolt release, Ruger BX Trigger, tech sights, Magpul forward optic mount, Bushnell TRS25, and I’ve added a section of rail to the forend to mount a tactical light.

In the bag I keep 600 rounds of CCI mini mags in water tight containers, spare parts, cleaning kit, Kabar BK16, a lighter, basic tools to work on the rifle, Inova tactical light, spare batteries for the light and optic, 2 Trimags, 2 BX25 mags, and a standalone 10 rounder that stays in the rifle when it’s collapsed.

Outside of full blown combat I’d have a hard time envisioning a scenario where this little rifle coupled with either my EDC G26 or my G19 couldn’t get me out of.

I like it! The .22LR is often minimized, but in hard times, I think everyone will want at least one. And the 10-22 is an ideal setup.

 

10-22 is great and i have several, the marlin 60 is good as well and no mags to keep up with . wouldnt be as good in a defensive situation for sure but would be a decent choice

 

Love everything except the muzzle brake.

 

It’s the factory flash hider that came with the rifle. I don’t care for the looks but it does help hide the flash at night so I’ve left it on.

I prefer a Shiloh sharps 1874 Long Range rifle with a 34" barrel (4"s longer than a standard 30" barrel) converted to fire a . 45-110 metallic cartridge with a 540 grain paper-patch bullet. Don't you?

 

Well other than that obviously.

Agreed

I have a Ruger 10/22 with 16.5” Tactical Advantage Barrel, Magpul Hunter Stock, T&J Tactical Suppressor, Kidd 1 Stage Trigger Kidd Internals with Burris PEPR Cantilever Mount and Athlon Optics, Talos BTR, Riflescope, 4-14 x 44 First Focal Plane (FFP) 30mm Tube, Illuminated APLR2 MIL Reticle

It’s one hole at 50 yards. I haven’t tried further, yet since I’m still waiting on parts.

Mine doesn’t fold but I’d rather have it ready.

The only folding rifle I like is my Keltec Sub 2000 (Sub 2K).

10/22 in one hole? I’d like to see that. I see them in NRL22. While a great rifle, they aren’t as accurate as a tikka T1x or those types

 

Yes.

I was using Aguila Super Extra. Two shots in the red after adjusting a few clicks.

My Kidd 10/22 really likes SK Flatnose for a mid price range ammo. 50yd 5 shot groups. The gun is more than capable at 50 yds, its the shooter that causes the problems.

To stay somewhat on topic, while the takedown 10/22 is a great option, this is my choice for SHTF/bugout.

That kind of grouping is what I expect out of a 10/22 which is good. Thanks for posting that.

 

Nice rifle but........
The **** pretty much hit the fan, all things considered. I don't hear of too many people social distancing by living off the land and eating squirrels. I'm sure a few are in their cabins or trailers eating all the freeze dried food they hoarded. but for the most part, everyone is waiting in line for a roll of 2 ply toilet paper.
I'm almost 65 and this is as bad as I've ever seen it get. So when exactly do you grab your bug out bag and high tail it to the mountains?

You don’t. You hold in place.

 

If SHTF we will be Bugging In not out as we all ready live in a rather remote area and say well stocked up . Teecher45 You might be shocked to see how deadly a well placed 40gr 22lr can be specially when you can place those bullets were you want them . They will turn off the brain of game right now . Cut the throat and let the deer or hog pump a majority of there blood out before passing away . Visit You Tube and watch a few videos on 22lrs taking deer and hogs !

 

Same I already live in the country on acreage but there could always be something that would make you have to bugout like a wildfire. Point is anytime I’m heading out of town for the weekend or on a cross country trip this is the rifle that is going with me.

Here's my version.

I think I need one of these.

 

We think alike..

Here is mine..and I wouldn't change a thing..

The suppressor in it when I took these pics is a dummy-suppressor, but it now has a Silencerco Sparrow..which only sticks out of the shroud 1/4"...just enough to spin with your fingers..

Unbelievably quiet with CCI Quiet, as well as CCI Supressor..

It’s been years in the making but it just keeps getting better and better. 10/22 takedown with Magpul X22 backpacker stock. I’ve added QD Studs a MS4 sling, Volquartsen Bolt upgrade kit, Volquartsen auto bolt release, Ruger BX Trigger, tech sights, Magpul forward optic mount, Bushnell TRS25, and I’ve added a section of rail to the forend to mount a tactical light.

Cool thread. Made me dig mine out of the safe. Put it together a few years ago. Never thought of it as a survival rifle, but more of a camper/fun-truck-rifle. The kids love it. I went through several iterations from using the original stock, to scoped, to what is shown in the pics. I had a nice Nightforce SHV 3-10 on it, but accuracy was horrible and figured that was going to be the case, but tried anyway. The barrel and action are not rigidly mated, and as such, the optic on the receiver seldom shot POA/POI with the barrel after it was removed and reinstalled. If the barrel nut tension changed even slightly groups could vary by six inches or more. Bad design on Ruger's part - but Ruger was smart enough to put the open steel sights on the barrel only. Only option moving forward was to use Magpul's optic mount for the barrel, which also allowed the metal sights to remain as a back up. Now it's fun.

My pics are from when I got the barrel 2 yrs ago. I got the stock when it first came out and it was a huge improvement over the stock .. er.. stock. I've never had issues with POA/POI when removing the barrel, stock or new. The scope is a cheap UTG BugBuster that was very popular for this setup as it's compact and fits in the bag. I have astigmatism so red dots aren't the best for me. I've added a JWT bolt, Kidd charging handle and polished the stock trigger group to give me right around 3-4 lbs. I also modded for auto bolt release. I added the Magpul QD and a MS4 sling (not pictured).

I don't think the current situation is a SHTF scenario. Infrastructure is still functional and there isn't anarchy.

 

In terms of a true survival gun, if I'm walking around with only what's on my back, the SHTF big time and I've got a lot more to worry about than killing bunnies for food. If it was really that bad, I'd want a rifle that can really reach out and touch something, well beyond 100 yards, something like a well tuned AR10/15 with 10x or better optic on it. If I can see them, they can see me. Suppressed would be even better. I'd want something that has power way beyond the sidearm on my hip. If I had a base camp/cabin and I could stash supplies and pick my tools accordingly, then a .22 rifle makes sense, but even then, I'd prefer a fixed barrel with an optic so I could take said bunny at 80+ yards. A 3MOA red dot is hardly conducive for game shots beyond 40 yards. A lightweight, .22 revolver makes a lot of sense to me, I can use any variance of .22 ammo, can take game to 25 yards, and it weighs next to nothing, and I'm not giving up much in terms of distance over the reddot rifle.

 

Man ****, ain't no way I'd take that for SHTF. I'd personally carry a SAW M249 with a 2000 round load out as I was bugging out...

Seriously though, threads like this make me hate the interwebs sometimes.

OP, I like it, and I think it's a good set up for the role.

The only thing I'd do differently would be to tell a lot of these haters is to suck it.

 

Here’s my 10/22 takedown. One of my favorites to shoot suppressed.

A 9mm version is supposed to come out this fall and I’m thinking about getting one of those too.

 

Nice setup. There’s already a 9mm version, the Ruger PC Carbine. It even takes down in the exact same way.

So I have a standard 10/22, wood stock, 10rd mag, factory barrel. Bushnell trs-25 red dot on top. Who's impressed?

 

Without pics? No one...

 

• My little Talo 10/22 likes CCI standard velocity... I was surprised at it’s accuracy...

I like the Mannlicher stock. I’ve been wanting to buy one of their M1 Carbine models for years but it’s hard to justify spending the money on another 22 when I already have so many.

Smart. 22 lr is an excellent choice.
Perhaps not up here, but nonetheless excellent.

 

Ruger PCC in a backpack with extra mags & ammo. And as a bonus, the mags will work in my Glock also.
