There was some interest for pics in Cast’s thread and I didn’t want to junk his thread up so I started my own. I don’t typically name my guns but “scrappy” came to mind due to obvious reasons.

The stock was a takeoff carbine stock, the low end model. I opened the barrel channel, raised the comb, added LOP, chopped the bottom of the stock to blend better with the new comb shape, made a pillar, bedded the pillar, bedded the action, recoil lug and about 1.5” of the barrel just in front of the action. The barrel is floated the rest of the way out.

I added bondo, and did a bunch of sanding and shaping. Originally I was going to duracoat the stock either black or FDE. The rough “scrappy” look grew on me so I just shot 3 coats of clear satin duracoat on and called her done.

I already had the barreled action from a previously unused build so I stole it, added new optic and mount.

I have 2 weekends of work in a $20.00 stock, but she fits and handles much better now. My intention is to shoot some steel matches with her.

Gonna run a stock pack because I missed the comb height by about a 1/4”.


Was really proud of the pillar I made. Saw a tutorial on the rimfire forum, worked slow and it came out great.

Cool! You should sign up for the .22 league and shoot it on the 29th! It’s gonna be a lot of fun.

Yep exactly what I was going to say.

It looks like a lot of fun! I’m eat up with PCC right now and not set up for 100-200yard .22lr shots but the format looks like a blast. I am anxious to read all the “after-match” trash-talkn’ though..

What is the pillar for?

Awesome man! Radius the bolt and set the headspace to .0435 polish the inside of your action it will eliminate the fliers!
Lots of awesome tips and tricks for 10/22 on rimfire central

Nicely done!

The Cabbage Patch 10/22!!

Nice build

I like it too. It looks cool.

Well played.

The stock is awesome! Great job on the pillar.

I really like that stock.

Thanks everyone! Should be a fun gun to shoot!




I’m sure you already know this but the single action screw on the 10/22 pulls the action down against the wooden stock. The stock’s wooden mating surface compresses inconsistently under mounting screw torque. Also the torque can change due to the expansion/contracting of the wood in varying weather. The pillar, theoretically, provides a more consistent mating surface. It is probably a useless mod for my purposes but a bench shooter would likely see a benefit. I stole this pic from the web but it will give you a better idea of how it’s bedded in the stock.

The pillar also allows us to tighten down the action screw enough to lock the action in place. It’s a must if you want a 10/22 to shoot right.

Impressive, I do like the “scrappy” look.
