    Also with the standard stocks and actions and their shit screw-on pic rail: I'll have both scope rings forward of the turrets to get head possie/eye relief for offhand shooting, and a skinny tube is more likely to not like that.

    Any 1" tube x32 scope you can find will be fine. 1-7 or 3-9. even fixed 4x

    Red dots are a matter of preference and situation (night shooting? dawn/dusk? what targets? snow or forest?), plenty of threads here on them.
    Are you referring to overall tube or front objective? Mate I really like the wee 20mm front objectives. They are short and light and really help with handling and pointing IMO. Love em. Leupold 1.5 -5x20 is one of the best.

    That's quite impressive.

    I suppose it has the brx trigger and they've generally fettled all the other issues...
    Yep, BRX trigger.
    I weighed up getting a carbine 10/22 and then pimping it out with VQ or Kidd parts, a heavy profile tensioned barrel, target stock etc, but that worked out way more than the factory Target Lite.
    So it was a no brainer getting it.

    There is a new 10/22 competition laminate model out, with 2 receiver screw (front and back), but its $450 more than my model.

    The factory Target Lite with Laminate stock sells for 1199~1299.

    7 years ago, I bought a second hand stainless steel 10/22 (with a scope and a cheap can) for $300, added a $200 whistlepig barrel, a KIDD two stage trigger (worth $500) and a Hogue stock (worth $150) I had from another gun. Grand total $1150 canned and scoped, with a plastic stock and factory stainless steel barrel as spares. Things are more expensive today so one would expect to pay maybe another few hundies for my set up. But you get a KIDD two stage which has no equal.

    I recall my build was going to be:
    $600 for new 10/22
    $600 for Kidd tensioned barrel
    $650 for Kidd trigger

    Darin at USAGUNS used to sell full KIDD with Hogue stock for about 2k. i dont know if he still does that but with Ruger factory rifle price going up so much, those full KIDD prices look pretty good.

    Clear enough and still going strong after 4 years of Central Otago rabbit shooting.
    Yep, exactly this setup x 2. Works well.

    Greetings All,
    One thing to remember is for the best accuracy in a .22 RF you need either a dedicated .22 RF scope that is set to be parallax free at 50 to 60 metres or a scope that is adjustable for parallax. I have a Leupold 4 -12 with adjustable objective which is ideal. My Savage .22 RF has an old Lyman 8 power with adjustable objective with fine cross hairs.
    Regards Grandpamac.
