Help pimp my kid's new gun out

[Goat Roper]

As a belated Christmas present to my boys I picked up a Ruger 10/22 with Tapco adjustable stock from Coop's Brother (Brian), picking it up on the 1st. Ton's of options out there for this and of course boys being boys, they not only want this thing to shoot nice, but also look like something out of Call of Duty.

So we are taking a scope, some sort of a barrel shroud, flashlight, a bi-pod possibly..I will let you guys give me the ideas. Already have an additional 25 rd mag coming as well.

Looks to be called the Tapco Fusion system; http://www.combatstocks.com/TAPCO_Fu..._STK63160B.cfm

Here is what she looks like, just with an angled stock (if I remember correctly)



Thanks!

So what do they want it to do with it? Is function or form more important?

[Silver350]

Looks like most of the upper would be very easy to give it a custom cammo paint job.

There is nothing that I hate more than a 10/22 with a tapco stock...lol....or even 'AR'd" at all.




But yes....rimefirecentral.com is where it's at for ideas.

The Nordic AR22 and the Archangel are the best looking set-ups IMO.

Mall Ninja in training? j/k

A nice compromise. For sure a scope (that is actually useful), after that I really don't know what to use.

Yeah, I know, if it was purely my gun I wouldn't go that way BUT my target audience is in the "look cool" phase. I figure let them get this out of their system and recognize that all the cool looking shit really probably doesn't do you any good.

Thanks for the info guys! If there is anything in particular that you think is better (one part over another) just chime in

Really!! All the TactiCOOL of an AR and only pennies to shoot!! That being said, after the cost of the gun, stock and other tacticool accessories, you'd probably be further ahead to buy the new Colt M4 .22 or the S&W M&P15-22. Either gun can be had for under $600, under $500 for the S&W.

I personally do not like the Archangel kit. I've seen some cool builds on the T6 stock and Nordic stock. With some modification you can fit a UTG quad rail on a T6 stock for ultimate tacticool!! With a little more you can make it look like it belongs there.

I have a awesome scope for that hmmmm should i sell it. it was on my .17 its awesome

[Crawlin]

those are some sweet looking guns. Everyone's got AR's it seems, haha. I really like that new Ruger Mini 14 w/ ATI stock.

Some of the guns in that link on rimfirecentral.com are pretty neat looking.

here's another link for you with some info. it was where i was finding my mini 14 information

With the amount of money some of those guys have stuck in those guns.....you could buy a REAL AR and a .22 conversion kit and have the best of both worlds.


This does me just fine..
10/22 Target model, BSA Plantinum 8-32x44, Kimber fluted .920 barrel, misc. small stuff:



10 shots, 50 yards, front bag rest only, Federal bulk:

Saw Jim just post this up so I figured I'd post it up in here for ya since they might have a couple things you are looking for. Free $20 when you spend $100. So like Jim said, 20% off

[SSmike1]

Scott,
Nice rifle!

now this is the first thing they need to learn!
how to make Groups like this!!!!!!!!

nice groups.

Does your wife tell you when she buys $300 worth of makeup or whatever.... purses, shoes......? mums the word

[Crawlin]

LMAO!!!

That's ONE purse to some of these ladies..

[Gregor]

I would rock that for plinking, but go with a composite stock, not the tapco style. And keep the scope on it.

Already dealt with. Handed her a box of 500 shells for the gun to wrap up for the boys and said "Deal with it"

When I bought my AR the G/F told me it was OK as long as I bought her a ring (NOT a wedding ring, a mother's ring). I spent $1300 on the gun and it only cost me a $100 ring. Worth it, I think. I'm worried to see what my $4000 rifle is gunna cost me...

Well, following previous math (7.7%) something around $308, still not bad ROI
