Ruger 10/22 TD Range Report Part Deux

[chinalfr]

Per request (Hanwei) to test the ruger 10/22 TD on his concern. I head out to range late night, so I'm limited on the range distance.

Range : MRA Loeb range (indoor 25 yards)
Condition : indoor
Ammo : CCI blazer, CCI mini mag & Winchester 333 bulkpack .22lr
Round fired : 150+
Problem : none
Shooting position : Standing (rest on bench)


Ruger 10/22 TD

First 10 rds shots (CCI Blazer)

Takedown the barrel and reinstalled. Shoot 10 rds on new target. (CCI Blazer)

Repeat 2x barrel takedown, reinstall and fire 10rds shots on same target. (CCI Blazer)

Judging from the result, I'm safe to say the rifle stock sight do return to zero after takedown. Let me know if you agreed or disagreed my report.

I'm very satisfied with the rifle, but want to have a 10/22 showdown. So, I introduced 2 more 10/22 rifle to the challenge. Let me introduced the 3 showdown candidates.

1. Ruger 10/22 Volquartsen (heavy mod with Volquartsen goodies and crappy tasco 3x9x40 scope)
2. Ruger 10/22 LTR (diy mod with techsight)
3. Ruger 10/22 TD (stock)

10 shots grouping @ 25 yards. (CCI Blazer)
Left to right 10/22 TD, 10/22 LTR, 10/22 Volquartsen

Obviously, the Volquartsen mod 10/22 is a tackdriver and win the challenges. Both 10/22 LTR and 10/22 TD are competing neck-to-neck and very close.

I'm guessing it's getting late and my brain slow down tremendously. I concluded my finding on the new ruger 10/22 TD. I hope my finding do help you choose your next 10/22 rifle.

An early warning. It's a path which look like a blackhole. Upgrading 10/22 is addictive. You just keep upgrading. I'm still thinking future Kidd 10/22. Probably transformed another basic 10/22 using Kidd goodies.

I'm not sure I believe that the LTR and TD could be so inaccurate at these ranges (10 yards...)?

It looks like the Volquartsen had a bipod and scope and the others were just shot out of hand with iron sights. Seems less a test of the guns and more just a demonstration of how awesome scopes and bipods are

It's 25 yards (~26 yards, 77 feet). My right eye (near sight and cant see target clearly without prescription glass) don't help too.

Derp, I thought the first groups were at 10 yards for some reason. Guess I saw the "10 rds" and my brain substituted "y" for "r".

It just seems a bit unfair to me to say that the Volquartsen is the winner when really it seems more likely to me that the scope and bipod made at least as big of a difference as the rifle itself. Nice shooting either way, though.

Couldn't wait any longer so I got one of the 10/22 TDs and took it out this morning. Great little rifle +1 on cheap to shoot
