First 10/22

[Displaced_Vol]

Ran over to SMGA in Knoxville and picked up one of their Smoky Mountain Woodland camo 10/22s. Just put about 50 rounds through it and it was just plain fun. Got to adjust the iron sights some and eventually I'll put a scope on it. Probably change a trigger out at some point and may even get real crazy with a suppressor sometime. I forgot how much fun it is to just throw some .22s down range.

Side note I like the SMGA store but it was pretty busy on Saturday and they were a little short staffed. It took a while for someone to be able to help me as I think they only had 2 guys working behind the counter. The actual process of buying there was different. Go to the register and they fill out some paperwork, move over to a bar with laptops where you do your 4473 (whatever the background check form) on a laptop, wait on the response from the feds then back up to the register to pay for it. Again, not complaining and I saw first hand how many guns they sell in a day so it's probably the best process but a few more bodies would have helped. Just an FYI if anybody plans to visit on a busy weekend make sure you have some free time.
I am used to smaller LGS where I fill out the paper form and walk out with my gun in 10 minutes.

You will love your 10/22. Probably the best 22 semi auto made. Put you a scope on it and do a drop in trigger and it will be your new favorite.

I love a 10/22 or any other 22 for that matter. I think that all 4473s will be by computer seems like paper forms are going to be a thing of the past.

I do like that camo stock

Nice! I've decided on the 10/22 Light Varmint Target, but I haven't found one anywhere but Gunbroker so far.

I picked one of these up at a LGS last week. To be honest I had to look up the Light Varmint Target and realized it was the one I had bought lol. I just liked the 20in stainless threaded barrel. Price was right as well. I haven't even shot it yet.

What is LGS?

Let me take this opportunity to say if anybody sees one on the west side let me know!

If you don't want to get a drop in trigger. I will leave this here for others that are interested in lightening their 10/22 trigger. Here is a video on how to do it. Basically you change the current trigger with Volquartsen parts and a shim kit. It made my trigger so much better. It does take some tinkering. All of the parts can be purchased off of Ebay.

I put a Leupold rimfire on my cz 457 and I am really enjoying that, but I might go with the vortex on this one. I don't know yet but it'll be fun to play with I know.

You want be disappointed in the Ruger LVT, I picked this one up a couple months ago worked on the trigger and was pleasantly surprised how accurate it is.

That's the one I want! My son has a fancy Bergara bolt action bull barreled .22LR with a Leupold scope. I sure hope I don't outshoot him with a semi-auto.

if his shoots as well as my non bull barreled does I don't think a semi-auto will touch it!

Probably not, but I'm going to give it hell!
