Rearranged my 10/22. I chase Feists around in the fall and wanted to make my 22 a little more accurate. Feddersen barrel and Hogue stock. Can’t wait until it cools off some.

Good looking rig. Love my Feddersen barrel. Shoots right with my bolt guns.

My brother put a new barrel on mine but the triggers so poor it really throws shots off. Anyone try an aftermarket trigger group in one?

I’ve had a 10/22 for a couple of years. Dang thing jams.....a lot. Doesn’t cleanly eject empty shells. I like the gun, my son bought it as a gift for me. Any suggestions?

Yes... Send it to Ruger and have them fix it.

Yepper had one put on the 10-22 I had and it really helped, can't remember what brand it was.

Feddersen barrel, brownells receiver , magpul stock and the trigger was sent to Brimstone for a trigger job. I’ve had them do 4 10/22s for me and I’m very pleased with them all.
Hunting with a dog sounds very fun.

Yote I am going to send my trigger group to Brimstone. I think I really only need the tier 3 job, it’s just for hunting. What’s your thoughts on the tier 3 vs. the 1 & 2?

I have used Rugers BX trigger they are good

Also used a Kidd drop in trigger job (not the entire group) and it is very good.

Well all being said, I suppose my Ruger is due for an update! I bought it used over 30 years ago and have never even cleaned it. It still shoots dime groups at 40 so that's good enough for me. As of late, I will get a stovepipe every now and then and have noticed the powder build up is getting pretty bad in the action. I have a 6 month old brindle cur that I hope to get going this fall, been working with him in the yard with tails on a fishing pole.

I had the cheaper tier trigger job done on mine and I’m happy with them. Also have a couple of the bx triggers and they have done a fine job as well. Much much better than the stock trigger. Ruger should make that trigger standard on the 10/22.

Can you tell a difference in the bx trigger and the Brimstone trigger?
