June 28, 201115 yr I love shooting my new 1022, but I have to admit, the small plastic stock is really uncomfortable to shoot with, as well as cheap feeling. Could anybody recommend something that is more full feeling, and larger? I was looking at the hogue stock, but i really cant tell if it's actually larger, or just better materials. And while we are at it, what are some of your favorite/personal preference stocks for the 1022?

And while we are at it, what are some of your favorite/personal preference stocks for the 1022? I have a nice wood one that was a take off if you want to trade. And I believe you can get a 1" longer butt plate/recoil pad. Here's a link: http://www.rimfiresports.com/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RSC&Product_Code=BW07
June 28, 201115 yr Which model do you have? I have the carbine, which has a wooden stock that gives it a nice, classic look. Perhaps you could switch out your stock for one of those?
June 28, 201115 yr Author not sure which model? - the standard 1022 i guess. stainless barrel, black synthetic stock. measures 37" from butt-stock to barrel tip pic:
June 28, 201115 yr The hogue is a bit on the miniature side IMO. I have a Bell * Carleson anschutz style stock, and it's meant for standing and prone, a bit short for anything else. Unfortunately it is also short for the eye relief of a number of scopes, so less than ideal. The fajen wood laminate stocks are pretty nicely suited for your average adult size as are most of the knockoffs of it.
June 28, 201115 yr Looks like you have the carbine, same as I do. Note that it comes in three different configurations: http://www.ruger.com/products/1022Carbine/models.html Take a look at the wooden stock. It may be more of what you're looking for, although I'm pretty sure it's the same length as yours.
June 28, 201115 yr Author yeh, looks like they are all the same length. the fajen stocks look good, but damn pricey.... who makes the knock offs?
June 28, 201115 yr Could anybody recommend something that is more full feeling, and larger? Depends on what you are looking for - one of those "barber-pole" laminated thumbhole stocks? Maybe one of those Buck Rogers glitter impregnated fiberglass versions. Me I like a classic look. Talo Distributors made a series of 10/22 rifles with the stocks done by Altamont in French Walnut. They made four versions. Versions I & II have a straight wrist. Versions III & IV have a pistol grip. Every now and then a stock becomes available - here is one from Calguns... http://www.calguns.n...ad.php?t=393516 It's from some time ago, but there's no indication it was sold. If that's the case, you have a little leverage for negotiating. It's a version IV. I have a version III, here... Just a suggestion. Adios, Pizza Bob

June 28, 201115 yr I've got a pretty good selection of black rifles, too. But retro's nice. PS: That's a Sightron, Frank.
June 28, 201115 yr I've got a pretty good selection of black rifles, too. But retro's nice. PS: That's a Sightron, Frank. Is that pic your rifle Bob? Yeah I like Sightron as you know. Good Japanese Optics.
June 28, 201115 yr Is that pic your rifle Bob? Yeah I like Sightron as you know. Good Japanese Optics. Yes, it is, The scope is a Sightron II fixed 6X HBR (Hunter's Bench Rest) with an AO. Sightron erector systems are like the Weaver Accu-Trac used in their T-series scopes.
June 28, 201115 yr Yes, it is, The scope is a Sightron II fixed 6X HBR (Hunter's Bench Rest) with an AO. Sightron erector systems are like the Weaver Accu-Trac used in their T-series scopes. That's why I use them. Very repeatable adjustment. And the clear optics are a bonus.
June 30, 201115 yr yeh, looks like they are all the same length. the fajen stocks look good, but damn pricey.... who makes the knock offs? Pricey is realtive, and it looks like all the clones and competitors have changed since I looked last. Fajen makes a plastic version for about $80-90. richard's microfit offers a wide selection of real 10/22 stocks, but aren't super cheap, and you ahve to finish them yourself. Boyd's makes some decent ones as well. You can also just go to rimfire central and start browsing the 10/22 builds posted there until you see something that makes you not care that it isn't dirt cheap .
July 1, 201115 yr richard's microfit offers a wide selection of real 10/22 stocks, but aren't super cheap, and you ahve to finish them yourself. Boyd's makes some decent ones as well. I have a Richards and while it turned out nice it was a pain in the ass, and I like woodworking. They are pricey, the stock looks like it was shaped by beaver it was so bad and I had to send it back to them because they did not cut the bottom up far enough to clear the trigger guard and the wood was too high ober the back of the reciever. I got it back and it was still incorrect in the trigger, so I cut it myself. Not worth the price or the hassel.
July 18, 201115 yr Check out the Bell and Carlson Target/Varmint stock. Very well made and comfortable to shoot in any position. A little pricey though. As a less expensive alternative, check out the Boyd's Tacticool. Similar look a bit heavier and it's beech wood instead of composite,

And while we are at it, what are some of your favorite/personal preference stocks for the 1022? I bought one of these Yukon Extremes for my 10/22 with the standard barrel. Went for a lefty stock. These stocks are AWESOME! It has improved my shooting substantially. They are really nice. Yukon Extreme
