[QUOTE="ok-22shooter, post: 4160910, member: 42477"] Lots of good advice above. In your original post, saying a 22lr is a 100 yard gun is a bit of a push unless using a special gun with very good ammo. There are at least three different classes of 10/22s. Carbine with thin barrel, target with heavy barrel and takedown. You could also add bench rest but most of those guns are not really a Ruger any more. Just removed a 4x from a carbine as 50 yard groups on sand bags was not were I wanted them to be. My eyes more than the gun/ammo, well into retirement. I have temporarily installed a 4x16 Nikon for ammo/barrel testing. I cut a bit of the shoulder and chamber face off this barrel to reduce the factory freeborn in the chamber. Wanted to see if accuracy would improve. My heavy barrel guns have variables with 12x typical at top end. the 4x16 will eventually go on the most accurate of these. A 2x7 mounted on a cantilever mount off the barrel has worked very well on the takedown. Well under 1" groups with bulk ammo at 50 yds which is pretty good for a takedown. The new parts hanging off the takedown action cost more than the original gun. I was looking thru my scope box earlier today and I found I have an older ~1x4 bushnell and a newer ~1.5x5 leupold. One of those will probably go on the carbine as I like the lower power for trying to hit running rabbits. [/QUOTE]
