10-22 take down

Post by Ernie » Sat Jan 15, 2022 4:04 pm

Picked up some CCI mini mags today for $11.49/100 at the LGS. A customer was trading in his custom Ruger 10-22 take down and I had to touch it. Came with a nice case, 3 mags, extra stock butt with higher cheek weld, and a Vortex Diamondback 3-9 X 40 scope. Has threaded barrel which I don't care about at this time and a decent trigger. Great shape. So it came out of the store with me.

Ernie nice score. That 10/22 take down should be a good shooter and handy to have. Have fun.

The 10-22 take down was a winning concept as soon as it hit the shelves. I can see by the photographs and the description why it left with you. Nice pick up.

These are neat rifles, I have a 10/22 TD stainless Backpacker (Magpul) with a red dot, It is my go-to rifle for plinking at short distances. Mine doesn’t shoot well beyond 25 yards like a CZ bolt action, so I no longer bother. Is that yellow powdercoat a factory option? I am not up to date on all the variations. Can you post a closeup showing the barrel?

Let us know how it shoots Ernie. I had one a few years ago but I could not get it to shoot very accurately and it was all over the target. I ended up getting rid of it.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Yes it is powder coated from the factory and not scratched up. I asked the guy trading it in how it shot and he told me it shot very well. The 10 shot magazines still had ammo and they were Remington unjacketed so I will be trying some better shells to test it. I needs a good cleaning but otherwise looks ok.
Al, I heard these were not the best shooters. Guess I will find out. If not then I can probably find another sucker to take it off my hands. The scope is like new so I figure that was worth some money and I can always find a place for a decent scope.

As a side note:
My CCW no longer allows me to buy a gun without a call for a background check. They don't look at the CCW anymore. But so far I have been able to carry the gun out at the time of purchase. A fellow I work with also purchased a weapon yesterday and he was told he will receive a call when he can pick up his purchase. Could take a week.

Ruger now has a suppressed barrel that swaps right in for the takedown 10-22 and the reports I have seen say it's accurate and quiet.

We have the FBI to thank for that. Up until a couple of years ago the FBI would do instant background checks for folks with CCW’s and we could take a handgun home the same day (if approved of course). Now here we have a wait up to 10 days but most of the time it’s less than that.

Ernie I hope yours shoots hole in hole. It also has something to do with the lock up adjusting wheel. I have a PC Carbine in 40 S&W and it has the same design. My 40 shoots very well.
