Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key components of this custom Ruger 10/22 build for competition?

The build features an MOA stainless steel receiver, a Shilen bull barrel threaded directly into the receiver, a Kidd two-stage trigger, and a Stockys Eliminator stock. The bolt was trued by CPC, and it uses a custom lightweight charging handle.

How does the custom charging handle improve the Ruger 10/22's performance?

The PC Powers Custom charging handle was drilled out to reduce its weight. This allows the rifle's action to cycle more reliably with lighter target ammunition, such as Wolf Match Target, without needing a lighter recoil spring.

What specific gunsmithing services were performed on the bolt?

The factory bolt was refaced and trued by CPC (Connecticut Precision Custom) in Connecticut. This process ensures the bolt face is square and the locking lugs are properly aligned for improved reliability and accuracy.

What optic is recommended for this competition-focused Ruger 10/22 build?

The rifle is equipped with a Leupold VX-2 6-18x40mm scope. It's mounted using TPS tactical-style high rings, providing sufficient magnification and a stable platform for precise aiming at competition distances.
