I c

I cannot speak to the 10/22 take down, but I leave my pcc 9mm together except for cleaning. It has never given me a poi change. Ammo weight does. Varried loads do, a moved sight does, but the take down has been very consistant for my limited use of it. Owned new since 2018

 

Makes sense. I think I had a (mis)perception that the Takedown was inherently slightly less accurate but seems that stems more from the act of taking it down (if any) than it being less accurate than the fixed barrel version.

 

If you shoot off the irons, the TD does great. If you stick a scope on one, you need to keep the TD adjustment nice and tight, and check your zero every time you use the TD feature, before you shoot living things with it.

 

Right but if I DON’T use the TD feature, I’d a fixed model any more accurate? Seems not but… maybe?

 

If your going to leave TD together then why not get a fixed barrel with folding stock?

 

No “good” reason but I bought a backpacker stock so I have an extra stock. If I bought a threaded barrel I’d have an extra barrel. I’ve thought about a BX trigger so I’d have an extra trigger. Then I just need a receiver, bolt and charging handle. If assembled accuracy is the same then why not, but if a fixed model is more accurate then it’s a bad idea.

 

Never had a problem with a shifting point of aim with my take down I use an Ace In The Hole Williams Sight.

 

I thought about doing something like this, but I was worried it would not be worth it after my experience with my first TD. If you get around to it, I’d love to see a 25 round or more group at 50 yards on paper with that!

 

I am going to offer the opinion that the takedown model isn't as accurate as the standard version. That's how the reviewers wrote them up in testing when they were introduced. Now accuracy means different things to different people. I want to see measured groups fired at 25 and 50 yards to prove it. My well worn standard carbine shoots very well. I would put it up against a takedown model with a standard barrel.

 

My theory on TD accuracy depends on the type of site. If you use irons then both sites are on the barrel. A scope sits on the receiver.

The movement in the TD action is due to the clamping system for the barrel/forend connection to the receiver. Ruger has a specific way you adjust it to remove the excess play.

My buddy has one suppressed and with a thermal scope. When we set it up we had very poor accuracy until we got the adjustment correct. Once you figure it out I think the TD and standard are equally accurate.

If your using irons, then it won’t matter if the connection is a bit loose.

 

If Funds allow I will try both. I mean have both. LOL.

 

I’ve had a regular 10-22 for close to 50 years. Just an absolute joy. I had a 4X Bushnell on it and helped cull to turtle population in my friends stock tank for years.

About 6 years ago, a buddy gave me the take down. Didn’t really play with it for awhile. Recently, Put a good trigger on it and a little vortex red dot. I just plink with it. But, it seems to hold zero pretty well.

I suppose I should really test it out but, for shooting time cans on the berm. Pinging a steel plate. It seems more than acceptable.

 

Picked up a take down 10/22 this afternoon. Came in a hard plastic case, just enough room for the rifle in the case. Hope to shoot it maybe this weekend

 

I never had a TD but would buy one at the right price

 

I put the Skinner peep sights on my 10/22 Takedown - shot to POA every time it was put together. Don't have it now - gifted to a friend who is fighting Agent Orange cancer from his 'Nam days, to keep pests out of his garden. He's happy with it, one shot, one rabbit, every time.

 

I have a TD and 3 other 10/22s. One of them is a build with a 20" .920 barrel and a Fajen target stock .... a real tack driver. When I shoot my factory TD, side-by-side with my factory carbine or factory stainless Mannlicher , using factory iron sights, there is no difference in accuracy, even if I take the TD down and put it back together. That's because the iron sights are mounted directly on the barrel. Where there is a notable difference is when I mount a scope on the TD. Because the scope is on the receiver, any small change in the barrel-to-receiver fit will affect the TD's accuracy ... worst case, maybe a 2" difference in POI at 50 yards, but usually less than 1" @ 50 yards. BTW, unless you do some custom work, such as a match grade barrel, 10/22 are not particularly accurate. All my 10/22s will shoot under 2" groups at 50 yards on a good day. My build will shoot sub inch groups at 100 yards on a calm day... big difference. I have a CZ bolt action 22 that is a tack driver, right out of the box. Point being, if you want precision accuracy, you might want to consider a bolt action. If you want a really fun plinker, get a 10/22 in either platform.

My vision doesn't agree with a red dot because it looks like a red cotton ball. Scopes seem to work well for me; however, I shake quite a bit so 4X is the max magnification for off hand shooting with my 10/22. For bench rest shooting, I can do pretty well up to 10X.

Here's my TD with a 4X32mm Ruger scope. It's a cheap scope but it serves my needs. I can easily hit soda cans at 50 yards.

 

I bought a takedown and had accuracy problems from the start. I did all the things you are supposed to do. Finally put it in a BX22 stock and the problems went away. Put it together and slingshot the bolt a few times and it is good to go. I wanted to set one up for my wife but did not want to go through the expense and hassle again. I bought a Promag Archangel QBD stock and converted a 10-22 I had on hand. The lop is short and the butt has a lot of drop but it works great and comes back to zero with no problems. It has a 16" factory barrel.

 

I attached my optic to the barrel of my 10/22 takedown and haven't had any poi shift issues.

I would love a take down 10/22. Hard to locate at the moment but the hunt goes on.

 

I first saw one at Walmart, it was $299.. almost bought it, but I found one at a mom an pop shop down the road from Davison’s Gallery of Guns, and it was the same price. I bought it

 

A take down would be handy in some circumstances, but I don't have any of those. Love my 10 22 standard, don't need anything else.

 

I really like the idea of the Takedown and they are cool, but in the end, you have to put it together to shoot it and you are trying to make something that is two pieces shoot like one piece.

The TD shines for its ability to get compact in the little backpack or suitcase and storing safely in a small spaces like sunder a seat or in a boat or plane compartment. Plus it comes apart which is cool in its self and it’s another Ruger to collect.

 

The only advantage to the TD is it hides better if you are traveling. Packed in luggage I have walked into a motel with no one the wiser. My Keltec Sub 2000 is only 16" folded and weighs 4.25 lbs but the ammo is 3X heavier. Fits in a computer bag. The choice is more gun and less ammo or less gun and more ammo. I have the TD in a backpacker stock and the QBD with a 16" barrel. The QBD is 18" and weighs 5 lbs 8 oz with a scope and it always comes back to zero. It has a Williams Ace in The Hole for backup. The TD with a scope is heavier and close to the same length. It has Skinner sights for backup. My wife and I have a pair of 22lr Chargers. They are 19" with linear comps on the muzzles and weigh 4 lbs each with high mount red dots. No take down. The Chargers will be in the get home bags unless we have to go to Kalifornistan where they are not legal. We are old and weight is critical. We might manage 40 lbs combined if we had to walk. Probably closer to 30 lbs. If I have to travel a folding cart will be in the car. Only way we could carry enough water. Any distance and we would have to find transportation.

 

This is standing resting on my elbows not rested on the bipod.

 

 

I would like a TD. Just because I don't have one.
