Plinking with my Ruger 10/22, one of the most popular rifles ever made. This rifle was a Christmas gift from my father in 1987. Tactical Solutions offers some products for the Ruger 10/22, but it’s Tactical Innovations that makes the magazine I was trying to think of in the video.
A quick glimpse into my September 2010 trip to the local gun club, where 2 friends and I shot a few of our various rifles and handguns. We shot a Ruger 10/22, Remington 22, Savage Arms 243, Ruger Mini-14 (223), Ruger LCR (38 revolver), Smith & Wesson Model 63 (22 revolver), and a Ruger SP101 (357 Magnum). I love going to the range!

Another short vid showing the modifications I’ve made to my Ruger 10/22 Stainless Rifle. A compilation of the mods and all the shooting I’ve done over nearly two years with this rifle. Got a Bushnell Rimfire-22 scope in silver to match initially, then the TAPCO Intrafuse Rifle System for the adjustable stock primarily (to fit me, or my wife, or my daughter…) and also for some rails to expand my tactical (or tacti-cool…) options as well. Got a Shooter’s Ridge Rock Mount bipod on there. My daughter was having to use two fingers to shoot initially on what I think was about a 5-pound trigger - so I got a Volquartsen Hammer Pack from midwayusa for about . That kit came with the auto bolt release (worth the price of the pack alone & highly recommended - even if you just do it yourself…), the hammer, and it reduced the trigger pull to about 2.5-pounds. I haven’t measured it but my daughter can readily shoot it with just her index finger now. When I put that hammer/trigger pack in there I also moved the front sling stud to the middle of the stock & put a Blackhawk Storm Single-point Sling on there. The last mod (so far…) was the TAPCO vertical grip (VG) and I bumped the bipod forward to fit it on there so my big paws can grip it with a 30-round magazine in there - haven’t fired it with the VG on there, at least not yet! I’m sure I’ll setup another Run & Gun (RNG) type situation that will give me a chance to test that and work-in a transition to my semiautomatic Baby …
Something like 40 years of 10/22 production before ruger finally GETS IT and adds an extended magazine release. Ruger was so obsessed with the “sporting purpose” mentality that Bill “68 gun control act” Ruger had to be dead for this pistol and the mag release improvement to even be made. I hope he’s spinning in his grave that an evil PISTOL GRIP has been added to his 10/22!
