I made a part 2 of this video because I wanted to make it very very very clear that this was a fair comparison of the 17hmr and 22mag comment rate and subscribe
Part 2 of 2: Every shooter in the US should own a Ruger 10/22 (and I wish my overseas viewers could too!). It is the everyman’s, all-around .22 rifle. It shocks me when I find one that doesn’t! That’s because it provides immense enjoyment and capabilities for such a reasonable cost. Even out-of-box, the venerable 10/22 is accurate, very reliable, tough, ergonomic, lightweight, easy to use and carry, and most of all, fun! It continues to be an extremely successful Ruger design, having sold well over 5 million copies (and still going strong). It has out-sold and out-survived many other .22 designs to include the Remington Nylon 66. The 10/22 has always represented amazing value. That’s because for a reasonable price you are getting a rifle that will probably last your entire lifetime. My circa 1976 10/22 (shown) was given to me as a young man by my Dad and has adventured with me in the swamps of Florida and Alabama, the woods of Virginia, Montana, and Washington, the plains of North Dakota, and in the deserts of Utah, eastern Oregon, Arizona, and Idaho. And it’s still going strong. There are fancier and equally as-fun .22 rifles available but the 10/22s excel in most areas (and several cool Distributor Exclusive 10/22s abound, like the shown French walnut stocked TALO version) and provide unmatched versatility for the user. The 10/22 has a modular, simple design that makes upgrades to the trigger, bolt, magazine, stock, barrel, and sighting systems easy (many options shown …
AccurateShooter.com tests a Volquartsen 17 HMR rifle, which was basically box-stock except for a VX-5000 stock upgrade. The gun was able to shoot slightly over one-half MOA at 100 yards with its preferred 17 grain ammo. This rifle consistently out-shot a Ruger 77/17 bolt action also chambered in 17 HMR. The Volquartsen is a good choice for a rimfire varmint rifle.
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 …
