The criteria are simple: (1) more precise than base models, (2) 16.1" barrel, and (3) preferably <5lbs, but definitely <6lbs.
What would you recommend? The closest one I have so far is the model 21133. It is 5.3lbs, but I think I like the idea of a takedown model. Not sure to what extent taking it down affects accuracy, so I would appreciate any thoughts on that. |

i don't know about being more precise....but i just built one out with a Faxon pencil profile barrel (that had to be thermal fit) and the BX trigger in the Magpul MOE X-22 stock with a 1X Primary Arms prism scope....based on previous experience I would consider it to be more accurate than an off the shelf 10/22 and still really lightweight

Precision and take-down, while not necessarily mutually exclusive, will be a challenge.

Thank you. I did not specify a budget on purpose, but after looking at the Kidd prices, I think I'd have a hard time justifying >$1k to myself.

I bought one a few months ago and am very pleased with the accuracy. I’ve had multiple 5 shot groups in the 0.3” range @50 with Norma match, SK rifle match, and Lapua LR. It’ll average less than 0.5” @ 50 with the above ammo. CCI Std and Tac 22 are more like 0.6-0.7”. I shot a 10 round group suppressed at 100 this morning with Lapua LR. 9 went into 0.9” and one flyer opened it up to 1.4”. Definitely an ammo issue as the round went supersonic. For $350, I'm happy!

Volquartsen trigger, Kidd barrel, magpul stock. Hux .22ti can. Had it out squirrel hunting this morning. Probably a lot heavier than what you want.

Its easy to do if building one. I wanted lighter weight and precision. TacSol receiver $550 Volquartzen CF barrel $250 Kidd single stage trigger w/ext mag release $325 KRG chassis $375 More spend than I'd anticipated, but its light enough and it shoots bugholes. |

Check out Bergara BXR, they come in steel or carbon barreled versions. I have not shot one personally, but I have handled a few and they are very nice. They fix everything I like to change on a 10/22 (like the stock and barrel), without being ridiculously expensive.
If I had to buy instead of building, I would consider one. But personally, I like building so I tend to go that route. Most of my 10/22s have started as basic carbine models. I do have one built on a Brownells receiver and bolt. It shoots very well. |

Model 11113 Talo tactical since it had a threaded barrel. Took the action out or the silly ATI stock and put it in a standard Hogue overmolded unit. Put on a Sniper Brand 4-16x50 scope. Yeah I know the scope is overkill but who gives a shit, I can see tacks at ridiculous distances.
Added a Kidd trigger kit too. All in about $600 ish. around 6 years ago. Traded for the rifle $300 cost of my side of the trade. Got $85 for the ATI stock=cost of the Hogue OM. Scope was $100 nib at a gun show. Kidd trigger was $120 iirc. Bought everything within a month or so, it all just came together once I decided I wanted a 10/22 again back then. It really likes CCI of any flavor, Remington Yellow Jacket, Aguilar. It's not very picky about ammo, which I appreciate. Targets are usually Necco wafers at 50 yards, and Nilla wafers at 75 yards. A suppressor is coming before too long. It's one of my favorite guns to shoot. I call it "the grin reaper"  Get creative, take your time, and shop around. I got exactly what I wanted without spending boutique gun money, |

I have two 10/22’s. If I was in the market for a new rimfire rifle, I would look at the Winchester Wildcat. Takes 10/22 mags. Seems well liked.

Cheaper, lighter, more accurate. Yes, I've owned Riuger incuding a Target model with Volquartsen parts and the only thing the Ruger did better was the scope mount, which didn't make any real difference at the distances I was shooting or to the critters I shot.

Volquartsen barrel and a Kidd trigger with the magpul stock. It’s a heck of a shooter. If you look you can find similar guns on the used market for a little over half of what it cost to build one. A buddy got a Magnum Research 10/22 with a C More sight for $650 shortly after I put mine together. |

Why not the factory Takedown Lite? It's everything you want. https://ruger.com/products/1022Lite/specSheets/21152.html. You could buy a takedown receiver and build it with a lightweight barrel from Volquartsen/TacSol whoever. I like my Tacsol but I've never shot it on paper and only used it for steel which is a drastically different game compared to precision. Really depends on what you want.

Start with a base 10/22 and throw away everything but the receiver, order up every VQ part available, then what VQ doesn't have Kidd will . After that order up a Lilja barrel , top it with a scope of your choice ( I used a Mueller) and slap it in a Fagen stock . Then when your done you can look at it and say " I should have just bought a built Kidd rifle and been money ahead" . After that sell it at a loss and buy a CZ 455 Precision trainer . Or atleast that's how I did it .

I have a Volquartzen that is more accurate than any of my builds. All are accurate, but the Volquartzen shoots lasers. But most custom accurate barrels require match ammo at the minimum.
