10/22 Complete (almost)

[gunman42782]

Got my heavy barrel from Midway this morning, installed it and a weaver style tactical base, along with a WAY too big scope for this gun, just cause I had it laying around. The reason I say it is almost complete is I can't stand for the scope to be that high, and the scope is way too much for a .22, so I am gonna put something else on it eventually. Shot a couple hundred rounds through it, no malfunctions. The best shooting stuff I shot by a big margin was CCI Mini-Mags. Only thing is they shot a inch or more higher than everything else I shot through it. Followed by Centurian, which shot better than anything out of the thin barrel. The thin barrel did not shoot the Mini-Mags worth a dang. The Federal Lightnings shot decent, the el-cheapo Federal bulk pack shot worse in this barrel than in my thin original Ruger barrel! Just goes to show you how picky .22 rifles are.

No such thing as too much scope..I scope all mine with at least 4.5-14.I like to see what I'm aiming at.This is a Mueller APV with two sun shades.Great glass and very good shooting gun.Yours is a great looking gun too.I just don't care for the bull barrel.This one is a 22" Fluted GM barrel.Slow

....... The reason I say it is almost complete is I can't stand for the scope to be that high.......

Looking at the photo, there's enough room between the objective bell and the barrel to throw a dead cat through. It looks like a 40mm objective, which ought to be fine on a 10/22. A set of lower rings and/or a different base would bring the scope down where it ought to be.... when you have about 1/16 to 1/8 inch of daylight between the scope and the barrel, I think you'll find it fits you much better.

Looking real good. That scope really makes it look mean!
