hi all!..
...am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my stock ruger 10 22 carbine with synthetic stock in about a week and am already thinking of what i should do to improve it's performance--if i really need to..
this will be my first 10 22 and although i've heard and read a lot about it i have never actually owned one..yet.
please note that i am located in the philippines and we do not have access to all the after-market options available for this gun and the ones available here normally cost 2-3X the original price in the US---only authorized gunstores can import these items subject to a lot of taxes,duties, etc.....
i therefore do not want to go overboard on the upgrades and hope to get some suggestions on those which would really make a performance difference and not only aesthetically..
the rifle will be used primarily for recreational target shooting and small game hunting....i have no plans of making it look tactical or like an assault rifle..
so far i have gotten a redfield revenge 6-18x44 scope, a magpul ms2 sling and 4 extra 10-rd original magazines for it..
i am thinking of possibly getting a trigger-job done or get a better trigger later and maybe a better stock if i am not happy with the factory-supplied one..
any other suggestions along those lines--improve accuracy, reliability and handling-- would be greatly appreciated..
thank you for reading this and for any replies..
