Title: Takedown 10/22
Post by: jc2721 on April 13, 2012, 03:57:04 PM
Happy Friday the 13th!  Just walked into a LGS and bought a Ruger 10/22 takedown rifle.  They only got two in from their distributor and one was spoken for already.  I'll post pics later--probably be at the range on Sunday to try it out.

How much was it?

Security Equipment.  $332 (just under $350 with tax).  I almost didn't buy it because I buy used guns, but it would be years before a used takedown 10/22 became available and I wanted one.  Now I can play with it every time "Doomsday Preppers" is on TV!  The problem is I'll probably wear it out from assembling/disassembling.   

The guys at SEC figure it'll be 6-8 months before they see another shipment, but who knows?  The 2 rifles they received caught them by surprise.

The nylon case has a lot of MOLLE attachments and it looks like it can easily hold a dozen magazines and a couple of bricks of ammo--perfect for the SHTF bag.  Flashlight, spare batteries, space blankie, paracord, firestarter will all fit and you're good to go!  The bag has another compartment that looks like it would hold a spare barrel--hmmmm, I gotta read the manual and see if Ruger will offer spares (I wouldn't hold my breath!).

nice, let us know how it works out.

I don't see why anyone in the market for a 10/22 wouldn't get this one unless there was some kinda problem at the take down point.   :thumbsup:

Wow--just checked GunBroker and takedown 10/22s are selling for $300 (bidding, auction not over yet) to $369 (buy it now price).  Factor in UPS 2nd day Air and FFL transfer, you're looking at way over $400!   Glad I didn't pass on it--I'd be kicking myself!

I was looking at that rifle the other day but purchased an older used stainless 10/22 instead.  I have a fondness for older rifles with nice real wood stocks, plus it matches the one I just bought from Pit808.  ;D

That's a travesty, you shouldn't even keep it.

I'll give you 20 bucks for it.

You'll be doing the patriotic thing by dumping that communist china case.

Starting to look like Ruger will make a lot more $$$ selling bags than rifles (BTW, Ruger.com does not show the bag available as an accessory--guess if you want the bag you gotta buy the rifle too!   ;))

I guess about the only thing easier to travel with would be my Charger.  But probably not after I put the Ken Light mount on it and the Nighforce scope.  Let us know how it shoots.  Check out Rimfire Central for accurizing tips.  Slim

Anybody with a 10/22 TD:   Did you mount a scope on your TD, or are you running with just the irons?

I'm looking at mounting either a Nikon Prostaff 4x32 or Leupold 4x28 on my TD.

Nikon is cheaper, but at 11.5 inches, I've heard that people are having problems with putting the subassembly (with scope affixed) back into the bag.

Leupold is lighter, shorter, and supposedly fits in the bag, but it is quite a bit more expensive.

Also, if you did mount a scope, which rings did you use, and how are you liking them?

I'm not really looking at the QD mounts (I'd much prefer keeping the scope affixed to the receiver subassembly), but if need be, I'll consider QDs.

Mahalo,
dubya

For those who are interested, here is a visual comparison of the Weaver-style stock rail that comes with the Ruger 10/22 TD, and the Weaver-style Leupold Rifleman 1 Piece Base for Ruger 10/22s.

I did not affix either rail to the receiver; I simply placed both rails on the receiver and took these pictures to give people an idea of what to expect when using the stock rail versus aftermarket base on the 10/22 TD.

The Leupold 1 Piece Base is slightly longer than the stock rail, so you may notice a slight space between the receiver and the base, at the rear-most portion of the Leupold 1 Piece Base, where the downward curvature of the top of the receiver begins.    Not sure whether the gap will disappear when I actually affix the base to the receiver.

UTG puts out a Picatinny-style low-profile rail (with a channel that runs down the center of the rail) that allows you to utilize iron sights with the rail affixed to the receiver. (Thanks for the info, Dex!)

I affixed the Leupold Rifleman 1 Piece Base to the 10/22 TD receiver.

Even after tightening the hardware, the slight space (see previous post) at the rear of the base is apparent.

I mounted a Leupold VX-1 Rimfire 2-7x28mm Rifle Scope, using 1" Leupold Rifleman Detachable Low Rings.

(http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q565/dubya808/photo66-1.jpg)

Using the 1" Leupold Rifleman Detachable Low Rings, the VX-1's objective bell prevents the flip-up sights from being fully deployed (not a big deal, as I won't be using the irons, anyway).

(http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q565/dubya808/photo61.jpg)

The Low Rings provide a comfortable cheekweld.

Using the Low Rings to mount the Leupold VX-1 Rimfire 2-7x28mm Rifle Scope does not hamper disassembly.

Also, I have found that using the Low RIngs to mount the Leupold VX-1 allows me to place the receiver sub-assembly (with scope mounted) into the Ruger-supplied carrying case, and zip the case up, without issue.
