A friend of mine was showing me his new 10/22 the other day and it got me thinking. I have an ancient (70's) 10/22 that I almost never shoot anymore, along with a newer one that I use for hunting plinking etc.
I was thinking how fun it would be to build a sweet little bull barrel, suppressed, accurate 10/22 for cheap long range plinking. Am I dumb investing $ into a 10/22 or is it a good idea? I could spend money better surely, I want a semi auto 12g for competitions... But the 10/22 is cheaper and looks fun...
I'm thinking of getting a green mountain or tactical solutions bull barrel, threaded for a can of course, a timney or other trigger group, and a hogue stock. Throw it all together, get some cheap, but quality glass on it, and having a decent <300 yard plinking gun. I've never done it though, never messed with a 10/22, do I need to replace the bolt as well to optimize this setup or will the 30 year old bolt do? Do the threaded receivers work well for mounting your weaver rail on? Scope recomendations?
