Welcome to the board, Hutch1510 -

I'm not real sure how to answer all the questions you have and will leave that to our resident 10/22 expert, LikeToShoot.

I have the 10/22 in the factory heavy barrel with laminate stock. Acquired a Butler Creek carbon fiber bbl with the SS insert and match chamber and their synthetic stock. Found the combination too light for anything but toting around in the field for hunting. The accuracy wasn't there for range work, as compared to the original factory setup.

I've seen these actions that have been modified with almost every aftermarket giz-whiz that's available and adding up costs approaching 1K bills - still not that much more accurate than my factory rifle.

hogue rubber 10/22 stock.... First..it does not impress me and never has, simply does not feel right; and cheezy looking to boot. The barrel, not bad---but I don`t care for short barrels(just me. Some claim less barrel time.....less time off the target, may have some claim......but only in free style shooting and even then---I will still take the longer and the weight. The lightweight rigs...."carbon fiber" are very light in the field for carry.....but a braced shot is required, at least by me-----very shakey; but a dream to carry all day for plinking or hunting. You have to decide the exact choice to make or do as I did....make no choice. Build one for each need, fun too. I use several scope mounts, but a solid steel "billet" would be the best for an all out target rifle/with hex head fasteners.

CLERKE barrels are fine......so many out there-it`s now just what you like and really nothing more. As to the buffer "YES!" if you plan on shooting it a lot, it will not only save the receiver, but will make it run much smooth-er.

Reply Ruger Hogue stock...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 10/22 with Hogue stock and a Butler Creek Fluted barrel with the Blue teflon coating.

Two tone receiver finish and diamond etching on the slide offset the reaaaalllly black stock.
Nice, tactile feel to the stock, and the 16" barrel is not toooo front heavy for the light stock.

To each his own, I guess.
Never underestimate the power of a trigger job, though.
Almost any stock gun could use a little polishing or a nicer trigger.

yes eventually i will probably change out some trigger components,,, i will start though with the recoil buffer, the 16' clerke barrel and hogue stock....appreciate the feeback... do most of you guys use ruger rings??? the will have to be tall as the scope is a rather large redfield...
