10/22 Custom Shop rifle is in

[LanceS4803]

Finally got in my stainless Custom Shop rifle.
Mounted a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24.
Grabbed a selection of ammo and tried them out at the 50yd line.
By a far margin, this rifle LOVES the Federal Premium HV Match, turning in 5 shot groups of .402 to .434. There was one .735 stringing vertically when my target was rocking in the wind. I was not happy with getting 5 failures to extract from this ammo, when it wasn't a problem with others.
Next favored was Eley Target (in the yellow box). CCI Green Tag was very disappointing, delivering groups comparable to CCI SV. Half a dozen other brands turned in mediocre results.
Dialed up 1.6 mil and gave it a try at 100yds with the Federal HV Match. I'm happy!
By that time, the wind was getting worse, so packed it up.

As a side note, while initially everything looked great, I noticed the muzzle brake wasn't tight. While hand tightening, I noticed a grinding sound. Took it off and found a spiral of metal caught between the brake and barrel face. How could QC have missed this?

Can we see more pics of the gun and was that the 100 yd. target you posted?

[LanceS4803]

The target photo is from the 100yd line.

Nice looking rifle. I really prefer the looks of this version over the looks of my first gen version.

I have had mine since August and like it better each time I shoot it.
At first, it only shot average groups but it shoots great now.

In the beginning, mine would not extract rounds to save my life but I ordered a Volquartsen extractor/firing pin combo and the issue never came up again.
Here’s a pic of mine with its Vortex Viper 6-24x50 HS-T scope in Viper rings.

Ruger has no QC department,and they're not alone in that. It costs them less to handle returns than it does to staff a QC department.

Nice looking rig and anymore I change extractors in every gun I get saves doing it later I bought a little tool from Tandemkross makes changing them very easy.

My custom shop ruger came in today I mounted 4x12x40 Nikon rimfire Bdc on it to dark by the time I get it done to shoot it I will try it out tomorrow

[Turtle1903]

I ran 200 rounds through it functions great shooting one hole groups at 50 yards I’m happy with that

You mean that ruger has made a 10-22 that will shoot half inch at 50 yds out of the box? If so I am totally impressed. What does it weigh?

[Turtle1903]

6 pounds ruger 10/22 custom shop competition I was very surprised it is well built gun and for $530.00 plus tax not a bad deal

[Turtle1903]

Mine has best trigger of any ruger from factory I have every shot trigger is as good as my S&w model 41
