I will be buying scopes hopefully this weekend. Reason? I have both a 10/22 and a PCC (both Ruger); where I shoot I am not allowed to shoot any kind of rifle less than a 100-yards.

I took them out shooting once not knowing this with iron sights and I could not make out the holes and switching off to binoculars sucks.

So scope it is. But I am new to rifles and scopes.

I have the rail that came with both rifles already mounted on the guns.

But what about everything else?

I am planning to go with the more affordable Vortex models.

I believe I need mounting rings.

But what else do I need and need to know to mount it?

I was watching a few videos talking about getting a rifle holder, leveling it,and etc.

Is it really that involved?

Heres a pic for example(not mine obviously), although I’m not sure I want to tuck my can. Possibly, but I know that will require a lot more work milling out the wood stock on the inside. What should I know about doing this? Is it as easy as removing factory barrel, cutting the front short, and adding in an 8” barrel? do you recommend Carbon fiber for the function or is it just for the vibes?
Thanks!!!

I just got my first ever Ruger 10/22 rifle w/ MOE X22 and so I'm excited about that for starters, and I picked up a cheap TruGlo red dot site for it just to have something to throw on there for the range.

This fall I'm wanting to try my hand at small game hunting. Which I've never done any kind of hunting other than fishing. Realistically, what kind of accurate range could I expect to get out of this gun for small game hunting?

Are there any scopes under $200 that will help me out with hitting those squirrels? I've been doing some research and it seems that parallax is a big issue I need to look out for? I know at my price range I'm going to have to deal with some trade-offs no matter what, but I like to think I'm pretty adaptable, and plan to invest in a big boy scope maybe next year.

I haven't utilized a scope before either, I typically just have fun at the range with my Glock19 so this will be a big learning process.

Currently I'm looking at either a Thompson Center Multi-X 3-9X40 MM Riflescope if I want to be as cheap as possible, or a Vortex Triumph HD 3-9x40 Second Focal Plane since its sitting at around $100.

Any noobie advice would be appreciated as well!

Anybody have any idea how to fix this. From my research I looked into how sometimes action screws hit the barrel but i see no marks on the barrel from the action screw.

Hey everyone!

I have the Archangel stock, a Pike Arms bull barrel, an Amazon mag release, and the upgraded Ruger trigger. Added a Vortex Rimfire scope.

The stock is chunky, but I do like it. I typically shoot suppressed with an RXD22Ti.

I reached out to Samson as I have been waiting ti purchase a B-TM folding stock for nearly a year now and was told.

“All Production A-TM and B-TM Stocks are being sent directly to Ruger.
 
Per our Agreement with Ruger we are not able to sell any stocks or components.”

Soooo….sounds like we are SOL? Cause I can’t find it on the Ruger site either.
