Man, what a freakin sweet rifle...errr, i mean pistol! I first saw them a couple weeks ago and have had my heart set on one ever since! It was worth the ohhh so long 2 week wait! :P

The fit and finish one it are top notch. Everything has a tight fit, the stock to metal fit is very nice. The barrel is a satin black and the receiver is kinda of a sand blasted black finish....kinda neat and makes for a good looking pistol. The trigger is kinda your typical ruger; fairly smooth, but a tad amount of creep, a little heavy and some over travel. But its nothing to complain about. Its far better than any out of the box 10/22 ive ever seen. Ill probably add a good aftermarket trigger later on down the road. Mounted on top is a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot Multiple Reticle Scope. Had it for a while and was using it on a revolver, but figured it would be much better suited for this application. The bipod is a harris style and is made by Shooters Ridge. Side by side to one of my harris's, theres little to no difference in looks, function or sturdiness. Nice touch of Ruger to throw that and a nice soft case in with the deal!

Hopefully the weather will lighten up a little here and allow for some range time!!

That must be why you never answered my PM.. had to be first, eh?

Looks great! Did you get the deal you posted earlier? Is it possible to share the hook up?

Did you buy the scope with it? The whole setup looks great!

If you would have read my post in the other charger thread after i received a swarm of PM's, it would have answered your first 3 questions.

I cant get that price for anyone and it wouldnt do you colorado guys any good anyways since its a pistol and you have to either be a Wyoming resident or have it shipped to an FFL down there which wouldnt be cost effective after shipping and transfer fees.


As for the scope, ive had it for a few years that used to sit on top of a revolver.

I was just giving you a hard time. ;)

Post up how it shoots. They are on GunBroker for $300, so I'm sure someone in CO would let it go for that. I'm really interested in picking one up for the wife. If it is as much fun as the video looks, I will be doing so.

Shop around...ive seen two gun stores that have had them now...one was 319 one was 310...both plus tax of course. Rumor has it they will be releasing a stainless version sometime later this year too.

meh, seems like a waste of a 10/22 to me. but that's just personal pref.

at least you will be ready for WTZC... The .22LR is great for headshots, it will go in but not come out... just bounces around like a frog in a blender...:evil:

Nice! :hail:

How far you thinking it'd be good for shooting with any accuracy?

No idea personally, but im guessing well within an inch at 50 yards. There have been some reports of it over on rimfire central saying it will do 1/2" at 50 yards with good ammo and a solid rest.

1/2" at 50 yds, nice! Stinger, (CCI), is good ammo.

Heard a trick to use when you're betting a buddy & shooting .22's. Weigh the ammo and pick the rounds that are consistent in weight to each other for better accuracy.

Very cool! :D Can't wait to see the range report.

As for the trigger, don't blame Ruger; blame their legal department!

consistant rim thickness also helps
