All the shops near me that I have stopped into say they can order them. One shop had them, blued and stainless target models, in stock last I knew. Not sure I answered your question.

Thanks everyone...I appreciate the input. A stout recoil and weight is something I need to keep in mind these days, I have arthritis in my wrists.

Hello, I will be purchasing a MK IV Target in the very near future, just not sure which version to purchase. I was originally leaning toward the stainless steel version, but I do like the lighter weight of the blued version. I wonder if the aluminum grip frame the blued version is fitted with...

Yikes! That looks great, I'll have to try some. I've never seen that brand in my area. I go to one store mostly because it's close to where I work and their prices are decent. I buy the Federal Match there. I did see a few varieties of Eley at a Bass Pro Shop near me, but I wasn't a resident of...

For me, being able to shoot 1/2" groups only happens on a (really) good day....not easily repeated. Pretty consistently it will shoot 3/4" groups with Federal Match standard velocity. It shoots CCI standard velocity pretty well also.

I haven't done any work to the stock so far, it's the stock that came with the rifle. The barrel is not floated. On a good day I can get 1/2" groups at 50 yards. I usually get 3/4" groups more consistently. Thanks

I purchased this rifle new a few years ago. I was able to get it before all the new ones evaporated and then doubled in price. As I mentioned, I had tuned up by CPC and he didn't find any "bad" with the barrel and action that I'm aware off. Thanks

Hello, I am considering bedding my Target Grey 77/22 stock and hoping for some advice. Should I use pillars or just epoxy bedding? Has anybody experienced problems with floating the barrel? I have sent the rifle to Randy at CPC and want to compliment his work by fixing up the stock. Thanks in...

Hello, I am considering changing my factory stock to a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock. Just wondering if anybody has done the same and are you satisfied with the purchase? My rifle is the K77/22 VBZ model. Thanks in advance.

Thank You. I will look again at the swivel model. It did appear to be little bulky, but I have only seen pictures on line. The store I go to frequently only has the BR style in stock. Maybe the swivel/notched leg style will provide the best of everything on second thought. I will purchase the...

Hello, I plan to purchase a Harris Bipod for a 10/22, I've decided on the 1A2 Ultra lite version. One is model BR and one is BRM, I wonder which one folks like the best. I've read a lot of reviews and it doesn't seem like either one would be a bad choice. The BR has a friction hold arrangement...

Hello, I have a 10/22 Fajen Legacy synthetic stock that I would like to install a bi-pod on. There are so many to choose from I was hoping to hear what other people are using and narrow down my choices. From the brands I have looked at, they all look fairly easy to install so far. Thanks in...

Hello, I would like to mount a scope on my 77/22. I have a Nikon 3-9x40 on a 10/22 and that seems to be working for me. I'm hoping to use the same scope and the Ruger rings supplied with the 77/22. I am concerned with the bolt to scope clearance using the Ruger rings with a large scope. I would...

Funny, I was actually keeping my wife in mind to some degree regarding this purchase. The longer barrel of the competition model may be a little nose heavy for her I thought. In reality, she doesn't join me at the range very often and we don't stay as long as I do when I'm by myself or meeting...

Hello, I am going to purchase a MKIV very soon, I'm a little undecided on which model. I like both the target and competition models, but I'm curious what people think if you've had a chance to handle both. Does the shorter target model barrel feel more balanced compared to the longer...
