I am building three identical Ruger 10/22's, one for me and one each for two of my brothers as birthday presents.

• Receiver: Ruger 10/22 (duh)
• Stock: Boyd's Dakota Will in Nutmeg
• Barrel: Green Mountain 18 inch fluted bull from Whiteface Mountain Rifle Barrel Supply
• Scope: Burris Compact 4-12x32 AO Target Knobs from SWFA
• Power Custom Weaver Style Receiver Mount scope base from On Target
• Burris Zee Rings
• Bolt Combo by Randy at CPC
• Trigger Job & Extended Magazine release by Clark Custom Guns
• 10/22 Magnum Charging handle
• WeaponKraft Performance Package (Bolt Recoil Buffer, Allen Head Takedown screw, T-Hex Wrench, and VQ Exact Edge Extractor)
• Scopecoat from Midway USA
• Plano Air Glide single scoped black rifle case. From Mid South Shooters Supply
• PatchWorm from 20/20 Concepts

I assembled the first one last Saturday night and took it to the range on Sunday. I sighted it in at 25 yards and then fired 10 groups with several types of ammunition. I did not clean the bore or fire fouling shots between brands; I just loaded the magazine and shot the group. The groups fascinate me. All 8 types of ammo printed in almost the same place on the targets but the point of aim was the same for all 10 groups. The groups are listed by size not sequence shot.

Groups:

• 0.214 Eley Tenex Ultimate EPS
• 0.221 Wolf Match Extra
• 0.253 Lapua Midas L
• 0.288 Winchester Dynapoint
• 0.304 Wolf Match Target
• 0.304 CCI Standard (Blue & White box)
• 0.333 CCI Green Tag
• 0.341 Eley Tenex Ultimate EPS
• 0.454 CCI Standard (Blue & White box)
• 0.518 Remington Golden Bullet

Here is the rifle, targets follow.

BillB,

I don't have a brother. Would you like a third? My birthday is June 8th. Am I too late to get on the list for this year? I can wait.

I suddenly feel that my brother is useless

BillB,

Great shooting!!!

Are you sure that there wasn't a flier in that Wolf Match Target group?

I can put them all in one hole with that ammo......I mean...One Hole! .224" for 5 shots.

I've been thinking my brother needs a Remington 870 12 gauge that shoots 3 1/2" shotshells for his birthday....

June 28th it is!

It will be very interesting to see if all three "identical" rifles shoot as well. If they do, put me on your "brother" list

To All,

Sorry folks but I am too old and tired to adopt new brothers, sisters, etc. Sorry.

Viper,

I don't think I had any flyers with this rifle, at least not yet. One never knows what tomorrow will bring with it.

I am sure your brother will love the 870, do it.

Renegade,

"It will be very interesting to see if all three "identical" rifles shoot as well. "... Yes, I agree. I'll be posting the results of the other two as I complete them. I plan to get another done this weekend.

Tenspot,

"will clarks sell that Mag release seperately?" Well I think so but you would need to send them the factory mag release. They drill and tap the factory mag release then install the extended release into the factory release. Give them a call they are usually very pleasent people to deal with.

All my brothers know so far is that I am giving them "something" and they need to be at my place the morning of May 3rd to pick the one they want, if they don't show they don't get it. So I need to complete one this weekend and one next weekend.

Thanks to everybody for checking out the thread.

Regards Bill
