16:35 "touching" or even resting the barrel directly on anything is a HUGE "no-no" that many shooters never come to realize! It affects "barrel harmonics", basically how the barrel "vibrates" which will throw your shots all OVER the place even with a little .22 rifle. It can cause just plain piss poor groups (that are typically LOWER) because your downward hand pressure always varies or in cases where you rest the barrel directly on something for support such as a bag/rest or the window of your hunting blind ETC, the barrel will literally "bounce" upwards an unpredictable amount before the bullet exits when you shoot, causing your shots to go MUCH higher. There's another couple videos on YT that demonstrate this in detail, one is with a .223/556 where resting the barrel on something causes a nearly 1 FOOT higher impact at 100 yards!
I have a bunch of Ruger guns, all good except the 10/22. As received, new, it was junk. I bought some after market parts on-line and polished up the inside of the receiver. After that it shoots pretty good.
That's weird. My 10/22 which I bought 2 months ago was sighted in from the factory, cycles CCI Standard ammunition (without any additional polishing or heavy lubrication) and is very accurate. The only issue it had was the bolt release which was part of the standard trigger assembly. It was finicky as hell and I really had to find the sweet spot in order to close the bolt. Then I swapped the whole assembly for the BX trigger. First of all, it is pretty shameless of Ruger not to make the BX trigger the standard in all 10/22s. But this trigger is excellent and the included bolt release, although you still have to press it in addition tu pull the bolt handle back in order to close the bolt, works much better. After 500 rounds so far without cleaning, I've had 1 failure to feed, that's it.
@@omegaoutdoors6482 absolutely brother looking to do this exact rifle and stock conversion for my wife. Where'd you get your FAB stock. I'm looking at it from Sportsman's Guide right now.
Thank you! I haven't posted in a while but I have some stuff coming out here! Been doing some hog hunts and other things. Life is just busy! Good luck!
I just purchased the Blackhawk Axiom stock. I like the look the one you have but cleaning is not good if you have to take off the top rail. You would have to re zero it every time. Just saying. Thanks for the video
I use CCI for hunting... but I do agree that Remington ammo isn't as good, although it is more expensive. I've got a bunch of it that I need to shoot off LOL
@@omegaoutdoors6482 Yea 22Lr some dirty Stuff I’m not picky with what my firearms eat as long as there Reliable and Accurate.and with 22Lr Copper wash only.🇺🇸✌🏼
I just purchased same optic combo however I'm not changing out my midnight edition stock. I just had to order a pic rail. The red dot vortex works with weaver rails but the magnifier is made for pic rails
That problem that you had with the safety is super common all you need to do is grab the safety with some pliers and rotate it counter clockwise until you here a loud click then it will function properly
Well that is good to know! Ruger said they were having issues with the triggers and if the one they sent me didn't fix it that I would have to send the rifle back. Something about the stocks being too tight? Thanks for the tip!!
@@omegaoutdoors6482 I am getting mine soon, from what I saw, is the pic rail over the receiver optional? If it is I'd rather leave the one on my receiver installed for easier cleaning.
I think it is. It makes it look cleaner and to be honest, gives it a good balance. I thought the same thing and I played with it without the rail and it felt weird...
I would spend the Extra $ or you always kick yourself for not Lol. I Just put Vid out on my channel on one I picked up in OD.check it out wen you have time.🤜🏻
There are tons of aftermarket options that bolt on. I got one with a riser, which allows you to still use iron sights along with an optic (I just wanted it taller)
Ill be setting mine up too...Beautiful stock 👍🏿
Take out the insert, and keep your fingers off the free floated barrel 😊😊😊
Well guess I'll be setting mine up like that 👍
You totally should! Thanks for watching!

Please "pin" this to spread the knowledge to both old and new shooters alike! At the very least for the sake of the "Deer" we're shooting at!
Make sure to do the bolt release mod, and get a mag loader. Faster reloads = more fun :)
That was on my list! Thanks for watching!!
Ammo must be abundant where you live. Send some my way
I wouldn't say abundant... I just stocked up early and ration my ammo LOL

I got it from Midway USA actually. I never saw it on Sportsmans Guide
@@omegaoutdoors6482 thanks again bro! I'll through you a subscribe

Very nice video, useful information, great score on the accessories. The market is so stressed currently. Hope your move goes well.
Thank you!

CCI is the only .22 ammo imho. I gave up on Rem ammo in the 90s.

Weakchester White box runs 99% in mine?
I don't even use that stuff. To me it is super dirty... just my opinion.

I’m buying the gray stock 10/22 in the morning I hope the trigger works just fine, if it doesn’t thanks for the info
Does it come with the 4 small rail screws in case you don’t have a rail on it before?
It looks great.... but having to take off pic rails for cleaning seems a little annoying....
It is a little annoying but it's just a few Allen head screws... not ideal but still manageable
@@omegaoutdoors6482 I am getting mine soon, from what I saw, is the pic rail over the receiver optional? If it is I'd rather leave the one on my receiver installed for easier cleaning.
I would say that it is optional. You don't need it in order for the gun to sit right or to work. It just completes the overall look
@@omegaoutdoors6482 thank you for responding, I really appreciate that. You earned a sub in my book
Not near as bad to take down as an archangel 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
i keep looking at these fab defense stocks,
i cant make my mind up if i need the top rail with the stock or not..
is it worth the 70 extra bucks?
I think it is. It makes it look cleaner and to be honest, gives it a good balance. I thought the same thing and I played with it without the rail and it felt weird...

Thank you for watching!
Sick bro
Thank you!!
Can the rifle be shot relatively easily with the stock folded, or does it get in the way/push on your hand that's on the pistol grip? Thanks
It does kind of get in the way a bit but I don't really like shooting it that way
With that particular stock is it California legal? It looks 👌 great!!
You know... I'm not sure about that! I live in Florida. It's pretty much the wild west out here LOL
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Looks awesome! I just recently bought my son a Thompson Center TCR22 for Christmas. Would this kit work with the TCR22 as well?
That's an awesome rifle! Unfortunately, I don't think the kit would work for it. The stock was specifically made for the Ruger 10/22.
@@omegaoutdoors6482 just my luck. Lol thank you for replying to me!
Nice job.
Thank you!!
16" or 18"barrel?
Is the top rail available by itself ?
You know, I'm not really sure about that. I don't think it is though.

How much for the grey stock
Sorry man but I sold it already... thanks for the comment and for watching!
I just picked up my dads from the pawn shop and ruger sent me the wrong color stock. Oh well thanks for the reply and great video
Thank you! Good luck!
