I'm in the mood for an ultimate after lurking and drooling at some of the examples posted here. I have limited knowledge and gunsmith experience so I'd appreciate some guidance in finding a reliable, professional and qualified person that can build me one. Or, someone who has the patience, time and inclination to teach me how to build one. I suppose another option would be the purchase of a completed 10/22. I live in the monterey bay area.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're willing to take a drive, you can come by the Gun Exchange in San Jose. We can do the work for you, or you can do it yourself. We stock a number of 10/22 accessories, full rifles, pre-built Ultimates, or whatever. We have Whistle Pig and Montana Rifleman barrels in stock, as well as Hogue Overmolds and Barricuda stocks in inventory. We can send off parts to CPC or have Ironwood Designs do your trigger jobs.

If you just want to come by and ask a bunch of questions, or see how a 10/22 dissassembles/reassembles, there's no charge for that. There are probably no less than a half dozen ultimates in different configurations that you can take a look at (most of them are not for sale, but can be ordered), from lightweights to full .920 beasts in .22lr, 22mag, 17hmr, 17hm2.

I'm not necessarily trying to sell you anything, but if you want to windowshop, we do have a number of rifles owned by either me or the owner there to get a feel of what you might like to do.

Oh, the San Jose Gun Show is at the fairgrounds this weekend too. Might be a good steal there (not likely)... lol
