Setup Pics and Explanation

[Mt_Medic31]

I just dig other peoples gun setups, and like to learn how other people do things, in hopes of improving my own setups.

I was out of work a couple months with a hurt back, so Built up a Ruger Target Tactical 10/22.
- Stock barrel, bolt, hammer and reciever
- Vlqt Charging handle, spring, bolt buffer,
- Tacsol mag release, 20moa picatinny rail, Barrel Block (Angled to help freefloat)
- Boyds Evolution stock in Forest camo
- Burris Tactical rings, with picatinny top for front one
- Bushnell 4200 4-16x50mm Duplex, and Vector dot sight on top ($40 on ebay vs $200 burris fastfire, holds fine 1/2" groups at 30 yds)
- Stripped rifle completely, Polished inside of receiver to mirror before ever shooting it, 1200 grit, and then polishing compound, to smooth out action, and it really did.
- Duracoat Designs by yours truly. I do alot of it on the side. A little extra dough to pay for toys and maintenance.
- Whole thing weighs 8lb 3.2oz, so no problems getting into match.

Shoots EXCELLENT, I honestly shoot .8" groups at 100 yards with Wolf MT with it. POI was too low to zero initially, I think because of barrel droop with the Free float, and the fact that the 4200 only has 50moa travel. I put on the Tacsol barrel block, and the up pressure brought me to zero at highest setting, so shimmed the rear ring with a piece of pop can aluminum. The shim comes out to .005 inches with caliper (or was it .05?), which comes out to 10" at 100 yards. So with the shim I was in business, and you truly cant see the shim if you trim it to not poke to the edges. I know they say 10/22's are not for comp, but I think this is PLENTY of gun for SB silhouette. It certainly shoots better than my Class A @ss.

Good shootin yall. Look forward to seein your setups.

This might be better posted in the smallbore section.

Sorry to hear about your back, but it looks like you made some lemonade.

.8" at 100 yards should be accurate enough for anyone! Work on that hold and you got no one to blame but yourself when you shoot anything less than a 40/40.

Nice build. I especially like the tribal art. That blue mag release sort of stands out though. You gonna duracoat that?

[BCloninger]

Does tribal art constitute a new category of Bling?

Nice detailing - the more you look the more you see! You've made good use of your layup - hope all is well by now.

thanks guys, yeah, back to work now. The project certainly helped pass the time. It seems weird, but I kinda dig the blue mag release, so decided to leave it. I couldn't figure out where to post this. Searched several threads for "Setup, pics", and no thread like this popped up, so Posted under clubhouse secondary to the "General BS-ing" heading.

I couldn't be happier with the groups this gun makes, it surely shoots better than I'm capable. Been workin on the hold. The turkeys kick my ass though.

The post fits fine. It's a club-house sorta 'thang.

BOB,

[Bob259]
