Went to LGS to kill some time this afternoon and walked out with a new Ruger 10/22 rifle. Did I need it--nope, just wanted it.

Wish I could report a glowing report for this Ruger rifle but I cannot. I fired one round and the trigger group will not reset. Came back from range and took rifle apart, everything looked good but when trigger is pressed it will not reset. So, i guess it's a call to Ruger tomorrow. I am really getting sick of Rugers quality. I have had issues with 2 other rifles from Ruger one being a very expensive Ruger AR. I finally gave up on it after its 3rd trip back to factory. Needless to say not happy and I don't care if their service is outstanding--maybe they should build a firearm that would work reliably out of the box!

I have always heard that Ruger’s AR were not very good, sorry to hear this on your 10/22. Ruger’s quality has always been shaky, I stayed away from them back in the 80’s when it was really bad.
 
I have two 10/22s, a 1985 that I bought new for about $125 at Monkey Ward, and a 1966 I paid $100 for at a gun show, and it came in a Fed Ord folding "paratrooper" stock (MP40 type) that's now probably worth 2-3 times what I paid for the whole gun. I fooled with both of them for years and eventually turned the '85 into what I call my "Micro-14." Long story short on the '66, I recently put it in a SARCO replica M1 Carbine stock and added EB Allen M1 Carbine-type sights and could hardly be happier with the thing. Its trigger feels almost EXACTLY like my real 1943 Inland which serves as my "house gun." Can hardly wait to get out and get it sighted in for 50 yards, at which point it will become my #1 go-to .22 rifle, the one I grab when I'm in the mood to shoot but don't have any other particular rifle in mind.

Where did you get that M1 Carbine stock for a 10/22? I want one!
I have 2 of them, one was my first purchase after arriving back in a free state (early 90's) of SC! Spent 15 years in Joisey, one of those states that do not like to exercise our 2nd Amendment Rights.
The other one I won at a Ducks Unlimited Conference!
 
I have a 10-22 and am happy with it. That is now that I got it where I want it.
I consider the box stock 10-22 to be a starter kit. Not bad, but could be so much better. Just spend more money, customize to your taste and then you have a good rifle. ;)

The 10-22 is another one of those Barbie guns. :LOL:
