RUGER 10/22 SCOPE – Nikon ProStaff Rimfire 3-9 x 40 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC 150)

I had originally specified a LEUPOLD EER RIMFIRE SCOPE for the RUGER 10/22 Tack Driver Project but being a bit on the the pricey side funding for other projects kept the funding for the 10/22 LEUPOLD SCOPE from being realized. As luck would have it NIKON has recognized that there is a huge market for quality RIMFIRE SCOPES at a reasonable price. To that end I decided to give the Nikon ProStaff Rimfire 3-9 x 40 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC 150) a chance.

WARNE MAXIMA QUICK DETACH SCOPE RINGS

I went with the WARNE MAXIMA QUICK DETACH SCOPE RINGS based on a recommendation from a friend and fellow  RUGER 10/22 nut. Scope rings are one of those things that is very difficult t to judge quality on based upon a few internet pictures. It isn’t until you have a set of WARNE MAXIMA SCOPE RINGS in your hand do you appreciate the precision, quality and workmanship that goes into these scope rings.

RUGER 10/22 FACTORY 25 ROUND MAGAZINE BX-25

RUGER 10/22 FACTORY 25 ROUND 10/22 MAGAZINE

 

Nobody will ever accuse Ruger of moving quickly. It’s only taken 47 years for Ruger to introduce a 10/22 magazine that held more than 10 rounds. Today RUGER announced the BX-25, a Ruger designed 25 round magazine. I look forward to testing one of these magazines once they become available.

It’s refreshing to see the once most anti gun firearms manufacturer has finally embraced ALL FIREARMS including the ones Bill Ruger SR  despised such as AR-15’s, 1911’s and of course magazines over 10 rounds.

Today my BELL & CARLSON ODYSSEY STOCK FOR RUGER 10/22 showed up at the office. I was very pleased as the stock is much nicer in person than internet pictures would lead you to believe.

A few test fits with the CLARK CUSTOM RUGER 10/22 BARRELED ACTION revealed that some minor fitting of the stock will be required. There’s some stock material interfering with the barrel clamp and the barrel is touching the stock near the end. No big deal.

My 10/22 Stock Choice for the Clark Custom 10/22 – Bell & Carlson 2033Odyssey Target Stock

I would have preferred an Anschutz style stock but being left handed my choices were very limited. I ended up getting a BELL & CARLSON ODYSSEY from Stocky Stocks for substantially cheaper about $100 than anywhere else. Bell & Carlson is typically a moderate quality product at half the price of it’s nearest competitor McMillan.
