I took a different direction today,,,,

[contender]

And this was the result.



That's a night vision scope on the rifle. It'll record video, both day & night. High tech!

 

[Jim Puke]

Apparently, in taking that direction...you lost your way.

However, I do like the scope.

How about giving details!

Sharp lookin'

 

[callshot]

Are you saying that you will be up in the night?

 

[sebtool]

Looks like a fairly effective late night pest control tool, so as such, you can write it off on your taxes next year. You're a genius Contender! 8)

 

[George Tucker]

I like it.

 

[powder smoke]

If you like it more power to you. How does it shoot and what kind of accuracy are you getting?

 

[GRAMPS 51]

Hey Ty are you going to the dark side :lol: :lol: on the serious side I have been thinking about something like that for awhile let us know how it shoots I would love to know what size groups it would shoot at 50 yds

Gramps

 

[Mobuck]

I've been wanting to try one of those but the cost has put me off. Let us know how well it works for you. I might come out far enough ahead this year to add something like that to the stable IF it works.

Ok ya'll, I had to have a bit of fun!
Actually, that 10/22 belongs to my stepson. He was given a 10/22 by me many years ago, and always wanted to "trick it out" a bit. He's also a lefty.
Well, due to a (BAD) 12 year marriage that he got out of last fall, he's finally been able to get back into doing stuff for himself. So, we got him a nice bull barrel this spring for his B-day. He promptly ordered that Boyd stock. He likes different colors, and is a lot of fun to rag on. Next, he decided to remove the night vision scope off another rifle he has to try it on the 10/22 for the pests around his house. So, yesterday, when he came out for Mothers Day, he brought it with him & we finished zeroing the scope. That gun can shoot tiny groups if you do your part.

While it's a neat set-up, and he had fun with it, it made him re-think his choice of scope. Plus, I let him shoot my 10/22 with a 2x7 older low profile Redfield scope. And, my 10/22 has a Volquartsen trigger group installed. He decided he liked the normal scope better, as well as the trigger group. I proved the differences in trigger groups to him by letting him shoot them side by side.

So, before we remove the scope, (and he plans to sell it,) I had to snap a few pics. I figured the folks around here who know my love of the older & more traditional stuff might wonder if I hadn't finally gone off the deep end! Had to have a little fun!

If/WHEN THE shtf, LOOKS LIKE A GOOD HEADSHOT FIREARM, IN THE DARK, TO ELIMINATE GOBLINS................. :wink: 8) ("GOBLINS" COMPLIMENTS OF THE LATE JEFF COOPER...... 8) ).

Great share contender. I built one very similar to this several years ago.

Had an old blued barrel/black receiver model. It had a cracked pot metal trigger guard. So Ruger had me send the metal trigger group in and they gave me a new tougher polymer one. A lot of the black painted finish was wearing off the receiver so I had my buddy Dan Slack with Slack Guns bead blast and polish it. It matched the 16 inch stainless threaded bull barrel I purchased, an ER Shaw Ultra Grade.

That stock looks exactly like the one I got from Boyds. But mine was the gray laminated. Looked great with the silver finish. The polymer trigger group I just left alone but later on Dan gave it a very nice trigger job. Put a nice little 2x7 on there. I liked the accuracy... A LOT. I replaced the thread protector with a birdcage flash hider.

That's one of those few guns I shouldn't have sold. I miss it. A LOT.

 

[WendyZXZ]

That is a beautiful set up!

And I thought you were going to be a high tech red neck!
