Thanks for all the info guys, I will most likely replace the trigger at some point. Today was only my second time shooting so I want a bit more shooting time before I spend a lot of $$$. I might try some in house modifications in the mean time. I have access to a CNC machine as well as some other things I could use so I'll try and figure something out.
My 10/22 is my first gun so I don't really have much to compare it to but the trigger seems a bit "heavy". I see on here that a trigger upgrade seems to be a popular mod for this gun. My question is what is a good trigger, the timney looks good but it seems odd to buy a $200 trigger for a $200 rifle.
I just bought my Ruger 10/22 today and had a lot of fun my first time shooting :). I have a quick question Dicks accidentally sold me a .25 cleaning brush and I ran it through the barrel once... I hope I didn't cause any damage do you guys think that would hurt it?
Thank you I will probably be turning here a lot since no one in my family has ever owned a gun....I look forward to learning however and am pretty excited.
My name is John and I am 18 years old and about to get my first rifle. I will be attending the citadel this fall so I decided to learn how to shoot. Thanks to the many posts I read on this forum and elsewhere I will most likely buy a ruger 10/22 sometime next week.
