Thanks. That's the reason I bought it...the pretty wood and Schnabel forend. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be a tack driver. I was just looking for something to carry in the squirrel woods that wasn't just the run of the mill 22. I love the little rifle, and who knows...it might smooth out some as it gets more rounds through it. As for adding an aftermarket trigger group...I'll likely skip that.That one's a real beaut. I'm a sucker for a schnabel forend. It probably has a "pressure pad" hump as a contact point at the front of the barrel channel like my new LVT. I'm thinking about sanding mine down and free floating it. I get good groups out of several different types of ammo with it, save one flyer almost every time.
Oh yeah, I swapped out the trigger group with one that I did years ago. It's not a Kidd, but it's pretty nice still. You could always get a Ruger BXT (I think?) aftermarket drop-in trigger for it if yours is that bad
Not looking to dump more money into it to get it to shoot. Adding much more...and I would be in the CZ ballpark, and I've got a CZ that would likely out shoot it even with the trigger upgrade.
Don't take any of this as bashing the 10/22...it wasn't meant that way. I knew going in what it was...and what to expect. But I'm sure it will still suit my needs.
