Ruger 10/22, Raptor stock, Fedderson 16" tapered barrel, Kidd single-stage trigger, Que'd bolt, Vortex Crossfire II 16-24x 50mm scope. Old picture - different scope, barrel and trigger. I also sometimes use a CZ-455 American. It shoots about as well but the picture would be less interesting.

Ruger MKIII, 8" Tactical Solutions barrel, VQ trigger and associated parts, DIY grips (Pear), DIY modified iron sights (narrower front & rear). DIY barrel weight from Harbor Freight. The bulky grips made perfect alignment with my left eye shooting while right-handed and let me use my middle finger on the trigger. The VQ trigger was good to begin with and after several thousand rounds and a bit of stoning and polishing, it's incredible.

After several years with the grips shown above, it's now much more conventional-looking:

My brother's 10/22 (actually a Charger) with VQ guts. It now has a Nikon 4-14 Buckmaster and Kidd bead blasted 18" match bull barrel in place of the stocker.

The southpaw shooter regularly whoops me at any side by side games. Easily. And he just really started shooting about 2 years ago.
He shoots mid-high 20's/40 with it, and got a 5 chicken pin on what I think was his 3rd time out. :bthumb:
