What are they asking for it?

 

The MSRP is $899.00 Sorry for not adding the link- https://ruger.com/micros/customShop/1022.html

 

Just got their e-mail and saw that too. Pretty sweet. Looks like they've been lurking at RFC. I like the stock; cheekpiece adjustable laterally as well as vertically giving optimum placement. Wonder if they are machining the receivers or farming them out?

 

Whew, $850 + with tax and if a rip off phone call charge. I'd contest Ruger for using 10/22 and Competition in the same ad. I had a similar adj cheek pad on my $100 Benjamin air rifle. I'll hold back comments till I see actual range test accuracy.

 

They are In Kidd territory when it comes to the price. I don’t see anything they make for the 10/22 that is “Kidd” quality.

 

Interesting. About the only thing I can find online is on the ruger site.
https://www.ruger.com/products/1022Competition/models.html

Reading through the specs, it sounds like a nice rig. I will be interested to see some reviews once they start getting out there and I'm sure someone here will get one and post up some pictures of the internals.
I have not been interested in any ruger 10/22 made since they dropped the metal trigger guard. See the differences and why here: https://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1032578
The gritty and rough/poor casting of the receivers and poor bolt quality turned me off from them.
But with this one being CNC milled receiver and bolt plus a load of other nice features, I might be interested in one of these.
Will be looking forward to reviews and also what the street price will be once they start hitting retailers (because MSRP and retail are always different)

 

It will sell to those who are not as enthralled in rimfires as the majority of us in this forum. And thats going to be the majority of the population as well. There will be those that ogle at this model and consider it their own personal ultimate. I paid like $140 for a BSA Mil-Dot scope myself about 17yrs ago and thought, man this is so cool! Just have to put the entire consumer market into perspective.

 

Looks like an interesting offering from Ruger .No doubt for the same money I think you could probably build a better rifle .The one thing that's nice they offer the rear tang on this new model .For someone that wants a turnkey ready rifle over assembling a rifle with a better barrel and trigger it might be a good choice .For me since I've been exposed to both Kidd and Fedderson I could never buy this rifle but I could see how someone would.

 

I think the Thompson Center T/CR22 has rattled Ruger's cage. But not price wise.

 

My thoughts exactly...:t

 

Nice to know that Ruger is capable of building a high end 10/22, unlike the ridiculous Takedown LITE they were selling for $650+.

This model seems to offer quite a bit, machined everything plus a quality stock. As for price, yes it is expensive but it's only 10-20% more expensive than an equivalent custom build. For someone not into aftermarket mods and tinkering, this is not a bad rig assuming the QC is done properly.

 

It sounds like this model is better than any 10/22 Ruger has ever built. I’m curious to see how this rifle compares with a similar priced custom.

 

I see a lot of features that were designed by aftermarket manufacturers. Ruger has been known for suing competitors such as AMT. They sure don’t mind copying others such as KelTec and aftermarket manufacturers. If they had made their receiver out of 7075-T6 aluminum I would have considered trying one. Since they are the usual 6061-T6, I will stick with steel receivers with Kidd parts.

 

So do match CNC bolt mean match grade headspace?

 

Enhanced semi auto chamber? This a new chamber they came out with or are they just talking about a match chamber over a field chamber?

 

Have one coming

Have two 10/22 race guns I have built for Steel Challenge and one Ruger stock target light model and a SW 15/22. Thought I would try one of this model to see how it compares. Should have it Monday and will give it a review as I get it set up for Steel Challenge in November. I have four grandsons so they all will get used.

 

I ordered one of these and aim to send the BX trigger to Brimstone for some expert finishing work. Should be at my local gun store on Thursday.

Now I'm busy trying to pick out a good scope/rings and bipod...range report soon.

 

Ruger Competition 10/22



When I looked at the specs and saw this "Competition" model was shipping with a BX Trigger - that was exactly my thought - a Brimstone Tier II trigger job would be required. While the BX trigger is an improvement over their stock trigger it's not nearly as good as a Brimstone Tier anything. KIDD & Volquartsen are potentially even better options from what many of you on the RFC report. I do not understand how Ruger could even "suggest" the BX Trigger in a "Competition" offering.

Several years ago I paid over $500 for their "best" 10/22 Target rifle at the time. Nice looking with a Laminated Gray Stock, SS Fluted Hammer Forged Barrel . . . but what a disappointment. Competition Target . . . Precision Rifle . . . Their marketing department likes to use impressive terms . . .

 

Where did you guys get them from? I have not seen them for sale anywhere yet (unless I am overlooking them)

 

My is coming from Davidson's

I had my LGS put in for one when I got the email from Ruger awhile back, they got ten in this past week. My was shipped to my LGS Friday, so should have it tomorrow!

Well definitely keep us updated when you get it. I am interested to see the internals and how it groups.

 

Picked mine up today

First impression was that the fit and finish out of the case is very nice. Nice accessories and case. This will be my first Steel Challenge Rifle that is not a thumb hole stock or AR and it is not light at 6lb. I may not get to tear it down until Wed. So didn't get to look at inners yet. It will get a Brimstone trigger, have several spares, after I shoot it to see how accurate it is. Will most likely use a C-More railway sight to start. Should get it to an indoor range this weekend. I like the feel and fit for me of the stock, however may take rubber butt stock pad off. I don't like tacky pads when shooting and moving. An after market or Ruger AL or carbon fiber barrel is the only option I may desire, after Brimstone trigger. Will follow up with range report.

New guy here,You by any chance looked thru any of the 2 Primary arms 22LR ranging reticles ? I really like my little 9.25" long 6x I have on a takedown.. Also what is this case and accessories you speak of.. Thanks..

 

Those words are expensive in this case. When you start getting into Kidd pricing territory it is important to do enough research to see if you are getting your money’s worth.

I look forward to reading some first hand reviews.

 

Impressed with Custom Shop 10/22

I was able to do a tear down today of mine and I must say that I am very impressed with the Rifle overall. I have 7 10/22 builds and all on the stock Ruger receivers and have had several more stock 10/22 rifles. The custom receiver is very well made and finished. The barrel and connection to the receiver is solid. The only change I made today is to add a TK bolt buffer and a C-More railway red dot. Tested the trigger and on five pulls is averaged 1lb 15ozs. I have a spare Brimstone I am taking along to the range and may try it tomorrow. The wooden painted stock is well made for fit and finish. When removing you must slide the stock to the rear to remove, they left that out of the tear down instructions. The cheek piece fits well in the stock and adjusts and holds positions well. Will update again after shooting tomorrow.

 

Post up some pictures of the internals if/when you get a chance.
I am really curious about the way the barrel is held in. I wonder what the differences are and also wonder if current production drop in aftermarket barrels can be modded to fit.

 

Range day

Took mine to the desert today and shot in with the C-More sight. I was shooting 25-35 yards and ran 250 rounds, 100 mini mags and balance CCI SV. No malfunction with any ammo and ran 10 different magazines. At 25 yds from shooting bench and sand bag I could put 10 rounds all touching. Once sighted in spent most time shooting five steel plates out to 35 yards. Stock trigger is good and accuracy excellent. It is heavier than my 4 other race 10/22 but controllable. I will be using it at this month's Steel Challenge shoot. Will work on some pics when I take it down to inspect this week. So far I like it a lot.

 

Any information on the street price for this model?

 

I've seen it for sale at multiple places for just over $600.

 

The wife got me one for Christmas, although I don't officially get to try it out until Christmas day.

My impressions are mixed.
1. The receiver, barrel, and, compensator, are nice.

2. Stock has a great paint job but feels cheap. The barrel channel is roughly finished.

3. The second mounting point on the rear of the receiver is possibly going to cause Ruger some headaches.
Instead of going through the rear of the receiver like Kidd, they decided to drill and tap the bottom of the receivers thin wall.
I can see this theoretically causing the receiver to crack in that area due to the stress placed on it when the rear anchor is tightened down.
If you look closely at photos from overhead you can see a gap between the rear of the receiver and the anchor point due to the stress.

Truth be told I had high hopes for this gun but so far I'm less than impressed.

 

Interested here as well. Don't have any rimfires now, and getting bored shooting centerfire at my local 100 & 200 yd ranges. Looking to increase the difficulty with 22lr. I will be shooting target and small steel at varying ranges from 25-200yds.

Will pair the autoloader with a nice bolt gun - CZ 457 once they are out, or perhaps an Anschutz 64 MTR.

Weighing a leftover 10/22 Target for ~350, new 10/22 Competition for ~650, or just go Kidd Supergrade for ~1500. I think it comes down to 2 issues for me: trigger and accuracy.

Trigger: I run a Triggertech Diamond on my 7005R @12oz, a lighter spring on my Tikka @1.5#, and left my CZ 527 stock, but adjusted for creep and weight (1.5#). Can someone compare the above 10/22's to any/all of my triggers?

Accuracy: I'd be very happy with 0.5MOA @ 100yds with the best ammo, and holding 1MOA with CCI or equivalent. Is this possible with any of the 3 (not cherrypicking groups)? What is the approx accuracy difference of each gun with or without a trigger upgrade?

In short, I'm trying to find the sweet spot for value - what is the recommended path? Seems silly spending magnum centerfire money on a 10/22, but if that is the only way...
