Seems as this is one of the most popular rimfire rifles. Anyone shoot these? How is it versus the remington 597?

Any 10/22 I have shot has been reliable and accurate. The 597 from my understanding is accurate but can have reliability issues.

I have 2 10/22s and have never had an issue. the 10/22T is very accurate and I do not recall ever haveing a jam that was not ammo related. Never had or fired the Remington.

was on rimfirecentral, and sure are plenty of modified 10/22's.... do you have to buy a new one if you are going to replace the parts or can you just buy it in parts...?

There are a few places you can buy all of the parts neede for a build if you have the money to spend. Go to RFC and look at their vendor list. All the parts you could imagine, and then some. I built one for my wife last year from one I had on hand.

I have one, its a blast to shoot, never had any issues with it.

I have a new 10-22 that I purchased to take the place of an old 10-22 my Dad and I had YEARS ago. It is still one of my favorite guns. I installed a muzzle break that increased the accuracy, a ventilated handguard, and an extended bolt handle.

 

I have a minor problem in that if I lock the bolt lock open, I cannot release the bolt unless I take the stock off. I even replaced the bolt release with a new after market release to no avail. It feels as though it is binding somehow. At some point I will need to take it to a smith to have whatever the problem is fixed. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so what was the cause and the resultant fix?

Send it back to Ruger, they'll fix it for free. They'll pay for shipping and problably send you a free magazine, too.

I was just in a gun store in Rahway in. I believe it is called the firearms guild. They have 10/22 for under 200. You then call Ruger and order the tactical stock (88 bucks) and now you have something fun to shoot for under 300!!!!! They also had GREAT priced on AMMO! If I did not clean out effengers the night before I would have bought some there. The guy at effengers was scard that there was a limmit to the ammount of ammo that he could sell one person. I have bought ammo before just not though them. I did not like that they recored my FID number and the ammout of ammo I bought.

I have the 10/22T in stainless. With a little work it's a tack driver.
