If I was to buy one it would be a Volquartsen Summit.

If I was to buy one it would be a Volquartsen Summit. I think you’d have a blast at some of our 22 matches. Especially the side pots cold bore at 300 yards and Black Death at 25 yards. Both from bench or prone whichever you prefer.

All you hear is ting ting ting ting ting lol.

Lol exactly, I’ve been saying it for years zombie apocalypse top gun is a 10/22 22LR can carry massive amounts of ammo and with a suppressor it’s literally movie quiet, which wouldn’t attract more zombies to your location. One in the brain pan and they’re down. No need for knock down power. On the flip side pretty much every zombie movie/series I’ve ever seen the zombies aren’t the real threat, it’s the other survivors. So then your need that extra knock down power. Just carry both and stuff we the AR for the living and the 22 for the dead. Seems logical to me lol.

ATI stock, Bushnell red dot, Aim Sports tactical flashlight, UTG bipod, Ruger 25 round mag & NcSTAR muzzle brake. I've converted my original 10/22 into a Chris Kyle commemorative rat shooter.

I appreciate the offer for real but I'm the kind of guy who would never get around to buying a receiver and putting it all together. I'd be much better off just buying new.

Although it has no OEM parts aside from the barrel and receiver, it didn't cost as much as some others because I repurposed a lot of vintage parts. This 10/22 has NO PLASTIC parts other than the magazine. Pass the gravy.

I converted the carbon barreled one to my rimfire steel match gun. It shoot great. I love the little 10/22s. "I wanna go fast" -Ricky Bobby "Mind bottling isn't it?" -Chazz Michael Michaels .

My local gun shop is a big supporter of both DU and RMEF; I used to buy about 4 a year, just to donate to the kids raffles. They would give them to me at cost, for the deal. Out here we are blessed (?) to have a lot of ground squirrels around the alfalfa fields, and ranchers want you to shoot all you can. We rotate fields all Spring and go thru about 5-8K rounds per person, in 4 weeks each year. The 10/22's are the workhorses of the bunch. When they stop functioning, squirt them full of carburetor cleaner, and right back in operation!! My favorite truck gun!!!

That's right, it's the crappy plain birch they come with from the factory. I saved all the original parts from mine including the stock and all the plastic parts for later. Got this stock as a take off on eBay and refinished it myself. The butt plate, complete trigger (with KIDD and Volquartsen guts), and barrel band are all vintage Ruger alloy pieces I stripped, sanded and polished. This pics don't do the polished parts justice. Maybe I should get her out and take a few close-ups. Pass the gravy.
