Here is a picture of a simple Kydex setup and one of those $10 butt extensions to get the standard stock to a more ergonomic configuration. The Kydex is mounted via Velcro, the loop (soft) side is on the stock and the hook is on the inside of the Kydex piece. Pretty much anyone can put this together.


As for the reasons for adding a cheek rest and butt extension to a 10-22 for Appleseed, the 10-22 is pretty far ergonomically from the "rack grade" rifles used by the military. Getting one to fit more like a service rifle really does require the additions even with the Tech Sights.

Yes, my 10/22s are basically gear "basic" in the LTR vein. The Tech Sighted version, and the one with the inexpensive Bushnell 3-9x32mm Rimfire scope.

I never did get around to acquiring the Vet wrap to build up the pool noodle for the scope. Need to push that project forward. Thanks for reminding me.


Bobasan -

I like that Kydex setup.

An example of a cheap costing stock that works VERY well would be the Blackhawk Axiom 10/22 stock. That is a great stock, as the length of pull is adjustable and it uses an AR style buttstock that allows for a very repeatable cheek weld. It will also FREE FLOAT your barrel.

I have one complaint with the BlackHawk Axiom, the buttstock it comes with is flimsy....side to side and up/down play. Easy enough to fix....I just slapped a MAGPUL CTR buttstock on it. That got rid of all wobble. It also allows the attachment of MAGPUL cheek risers, of which are cheap in cost.

The other stock I like is the MAGPUL X22 stock. That is a phenomenal stock but costs a lot more than the Blackhawk. It also allows for clip on cheek risers, so you can get that perfect cheek weld.

I have two with newer Axiom stocks, and neither suffers from play - in fact, they are too tight to adjust easily. And Blackhawk sells a dandy snap-on riser.

Here is a full picture my rifle for Appleseed and NRL22 stock shoots. Without the buttpad and cheekrest a knucle dragger like me just can't hope to mount the rifle properly.

Navybowhunter,

The Velcro'd on cheek riser can be made by anyone for around $5

Absolutely that works

As does a pool noodle with a little tape.

BUT......

Only for recreational shooting. That would be illegal/against the rules for CMP Rimfire Sporter competition.

A lot of stuff will absolutely work, and as many have posted, it seems we all somewhat agree, that an out of the box stock 10/22 is not ideal for cheek weld, especially with a scope.

I offered what does work, and works for competition as well.

Lots here to think about in terms of fit for varying positions. Reminds me somewhat of all the stuff Ive read through the decades regarding 'fitting a shotgun' to the gunner.
And finally, after at least a couple of years searching by me, actual useable info about stock length vs eye relief/head position, etc. for the different positions.
Guess I'll have to throw the Dragonov kit back together....
