[QUOTE="MikieG7174, post: 2978881, member: 41714"] I watched the Chevy Truck Team Challenge for years. One day i decided to go for it. I built a 10/22 that truly was impressive. Not just a bunch of cool parts thrown together. I polished a Ruger reciever. Freefloated, pillar bedded and glass bedded the action. I found when i freefloated my barrel into the B&C Odessey stock, i noticed the barrel just setteling bown into the stock. No freefloat. I realized that the factory mounting screw just allowed the action to pivot downward. So i tig welded a rear lug onto the reciever and bedded a screw pillar into the stock to prevent this. I used a Greenmountain fluted stainless bull barrel that was drilled and tapped for the volquartzen cantilever mount. No stops on this project. Even used the volquartzen TG2000 trigger. I have forgotten all the cool custom crap i did. Lots of machining etc. The optic was an SWFA 10x42M. The result was a rifle that was utterly repeatable and boring to shoot. I would load the Ruger mag up and shoot a hole into a blank 50yard target. Then srnd the next 9 into the same hole. Thats will Walmart Federal 550 bulk crap! Well after a year and a couple grand i had this and a tricked out MKIII ready to go. Thats when Chevy pulled out of the comp. So here i had more than 2k into the rifle alone and they tell me i stand to win $1000. Just last year the winner got a truck, and now all this effort for $1000? Were talking 9ball money any saturday night in Tulsa. FU@K THAT. So the guns sat in the safe for years. I used them for trick shots. If a guy said his scope was malfunctioning, id throw it on the 10/22 and shoot pretty boxes and ladders and prove "Its not the scope here buddy". Those guns (and everything Ruger) are gone now. Still PI$$ES me off thinkin about it. Today my. 22lr needs are met with a dedicated AR15 built EXACTLY like ny other ARs, and an Advantage Arms slide on my G34 frame. Those guns are nore than accurate enough and are perfect for realistic training! [/QUOTE]
