No prob, I’m going to get another one for my other 10/22 that currently has a RDS.
I also recommend the TacSol Base & Rings. I was extremely impressed with the quality and simplicity of the system.
I have seen the Nikon scopes and they are very nice for the money, I ended up going with another BDC scope a 3x9x40AO made by BSA called the Sweet-22 which I found on a Black Friday sale last year for $20.00 each. I ended up with five of them and so far they have been outstanding performers with zero issues.
I have found that the Federal Lighting 510 40gr lead round nose to be a perfect match out of my stock Ruger 10/22 using the 40 grain drum out to 150yds hitting COM on a B-27 target.
I do believe that a accurate .22LR set-up can be used for suppression fire at distance in a SHTF environment as long as it is deployed from a secure cover location. Even the untrained can handle and effectively shoot a scoped .22LR so its not a bad option to have available.
All that being said would you recommend going with the X Ring rifle or something else in that price range? I’m looking for a threaded barrel as I’d like to shoot it suppressed not only for myself, plinking & varmints, but also to teach my son to shoot in a few years. At this time I’m not looking to get upgrade-itis with a stock 10/22 and end up spending as much for an X or more and am wondering if I can buy this and be content for a while, I know that’s subjective.
The CZ’s don’t look suppressor friendly from their website, I could be mistaken. The Savage MK-II FV-SR (bolt action) and 64 TRR-SR (semi-auto) look like fairly inexpensive options at MSRP $315 but I’m not sure about their reliability or accuracy.
I started looking into this as well. A local dealer here has the X-Ring at $249.95. They also are a Class III dealer and said the can would screw right on. On several threads at silencer talk they indicated that the threads on a Ruger 10/22 threaded barrel were to long and you will need a spacer or it will damage the can. I do not know i f this would apply to the Xring rifle or not. I am planning on going out there this weekend and update what I learn (or probably sold). I am a complete noob at the whole nfa suppressor thing so know that I am repeating what I have read.
The KIDD 10/22 rifles look pretty shit hot and the guys over at rimfire give them very high marks.
Too rich for my blood, but it does look nice.
I started a thread on that particular rifle here: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=78027
I would recommend the X-Ring. I really, really like their receiver, mounts, rings, and barrel. The trigger isn’t the best out there, but its still 20X better than a factory trigger. Plus, you will not have any issues mounting a suppressor. Or, you can get the X-Ring rifle complete w/ an integrally suppressed barrel.
I’m not a huge fan of their mag release lever, but that’s my 2 cents. I just think its a little to flimsy for field work.
I bought a takedown stock a long time ago. I believe it’s now disco’d. push a button, fold down fore-end and remove barrel. I have the scope on leupold QD rings. It’s accurate, and fairly repeatable after reassembly. fits in a backpack really well.
I have a 22 Henry AR-7 survival rifle that I consider a piece of junk. The 22 rife I would grab is my pump 22
For the following reasons. It will shoot shorts, longs, long rifle, cb caps, bird shot and a few others. CB,s are as powerful as a pelet rifle and make about the same noise. Bird shot for small rodents and a full length barrel to get top velocity out of long rifles. The pump action is so short on a pump that you can cycle it almost as fast as a simi (well at least as fast as you would possibly need). But one of the most important things is if dirty you would be able to cycle it when a simi would just jam up.
Finally amde it to the gun store yesterday and they did not have an x-ring like the idiot on the phone said they did. They also did not have any 10/22 with threaded barrels. What they did have though is a Savage Mark II FV-SR with a threaded barrel. Has anyone had one or used one? Are they any good. I am a pretty big Savage fan as all of my precision bolt guns and hunting lever actions are Savages and they all preform excellent.
I have a mark ii sv-fr set up, but don’t have a lot of trigger time with it yet. I’ve only fired about 60 rounds so far, but with some Eley and CCI velocitor ammo have shot some roughly nickel-sized groups at 50 yards. The first round of velocitor did not feed well, but only got to shoot one mag of that. The stock pretty much sucks, but I will deal with it instead of throwing as much money on a new one as the rifle cost. I bought this model for the scope rail and threaded barrel, which I wanted in case I decided to pony-up for a suppressor. I’m now waiting on a Sparrow to be transferred to my dealer.
I have a 10/22 mostly stock with the following:
-2x red dot
-extended mag release
-polished inners
It’s a great small game gun and does wonders at steel challenge matches.
As for a non semi gun I have a Henry-001 with a 3-9x scope on it. I use it to weed the 100yd berm when I get bored making ragged holes. I find the lever action to be quicked to operate than a bolt and it takes all flavors of 22.
I picked up a Ruger 10/22 tactical with threaded barrel and a few 25rd mags today. I’m going to start the process of ordering a suppressor next week and then look to pick up a cheap (try to stay under $600) night vision scope. I think a setup like this could pay dividends.
About 20 years ago I picked up a Savage M24C (“Camper’s Special”) .22LR/20 ga over/under. It’s short and even shorter when broken down. The trigger isn’t too bad since I lightened the m/s, and it’s quite accurate with .22s. I’m not a shotgunner, but it will definitely do the job. My then young son actually did pretty well shooting clay birds with it to the amazement of onlookers. I figure that 20 ga. loads with slugs are about equivalent to a .45-70, which isn’t anything to sneeze at. I also have a .30-30 liner which fits it; but the POA and POI aren’t very close to the sights. And I drilled out the buttstock to hold some extra .22s and a pull-through. All in all a pretty slick setup–and no doubt very hard to find these days.
I like it. Too bad they’re long out of production.
I have a Kidd on my wife’s 10/22. I (she) really like it and it is threaded. Expensive, but very accurate. It is their light weight one, but I would really call it a mid-weight.
As to scopes the Muller Apv and Apt scopes are nice on rimfires.
For guys interested in irons on their 10/22s the Tech Sights are nice (AR type sight picture).
I’m dig’n that one on the left.

i see AGP has been mentioned, but they have a new take down barrel kit to go with their stock
which currently has a 16" blued barrel, threaded muzzle, but they’re working on a similar barrel in stainless, and a 7" barrel that will store in the stock if you SBR it.
evidently they’re gonna have multiple diameters or CF handguard tubes, some available in different lengths or just a knurled nut. possibly more options in the future.
and a clamp on dovetail to use with Tech Sights.
i’ve got one of their stocks. i’m waiting on the stainless barrel and dovetail adapter and see what they come out with for handguards by then. i’ve got a rifle with Tech Sights and a half of a Picatinny rail for a micro RDS in the stock now. just looking to make it a little shorter and lighter.
the accuracy reports i hear on TacSol barrels are not very impressive. many users report 1.5" to 2" groups at 50 yards. shooters with Kidd barrels usually seem to report dime size to single hole groups at that distance. the base price for Kidd and TacSol barrels is about the same. just depends on if you want cool looks and light weight or accuracy for your money.
and while Hogue stocks are inexpensive, look nice, feel OK, they don’t seem to be very stiff and complaints of POI shift from stock flex are not uncommon. obviously the stock won’t change with humidity, but if you change from slung up tight to using a bipod it could cause a change.
