Itch for a 10-22
Hi Friends,
Watched Top Gun the other night and got introduced to Volquartsen. The (blue) silhouette stock with thumb hole and snake fluted barrel sure looks tempting as a sometimes alternative to my Annie. Anyone have experience with this gun for Silhouette? How does one place an order?

Retail $1,565.00
There ya go.
As far as I know they are usually all built up to whatever spec you want with the parts you want. They are nice but expect to end up spending a nice chuck of change for a super slick model. Many people just get the receiver and bolt, trigger unit etc from them and then get a barrel and furniture from their favorite manufacturer.
Would be fun to have on windy days for speed shooting but for that kind of $ I would be looking for a 54MS Standard rifle first

Haha! I was like... "Top Gun"??? Did Tom Cruise shoot a VQ in that movie that I don't remember??
Then I figured it out. Haha.

They are fun to shoot and can be as accurate as our 54 action Annies. The only knock is lock time. I recommend you scratch the itch with a Clark mid weight barrel and a Kidd trigger. You have to get the Kidd trigger. None other will do. You can hop over to Clark's sight and order one ready to go. Or get really crazy and get a Pharr or Wooster stock and have yourself a speed hunter for those windy days.

Re: Itch for a 10-22
Wish I knew what I was doing. Too new to know anything about building a rifle. Would like it a little lighter than my Annie.

ANything 10/22 is usually addressed at Rimfirecentral.com
They have a section on actions, barrels, stocks, ultimate 10/22 and anything in between
I think the US nationals was won with a 10/22 built by KIdd before he became a big name.
Good Luck

Kidd sounds like the place to start.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Itch for a 10-22
Be careful in selecting the components because with a straight, no taper, barrel that is very common with aftermarket barrels, you will only be able to compete in standard class. I'd seriously consider Clark's medium weight barrel if I was building a 10-22, because it is tapered. Add in the aluminum receiver, composite stock and aluminum fire control you'll have a rifle lighter than a 1712.

Remember that semi autos hot throw brass at your neighbors
Stand up for what is right.... even if you stand alone.

Kidd offers a taper barrel, he did one for me on a Kidd he built for me to compete in CMP .22. With a Hogue stock it will allow you to compete in both classes and the Kidd trigger is the best on the market.edgehit wrote:Be careful in selecting the components because with a straight, no taper, barrel that is very common with aftermarket barrels, you will only be able to compete in standard class.

As for the brass there are several ways to be 'competitor friendly' and not get into a hassle with your brass hitt the person next to you (sadly a lot of ranges do not take this into consideration) 1: cutting a gallon plastic milk corner off and using velcro to fasten to the action or 2) a piece of leather fastened over, with a bridge wire to hold it way from the port to do the same.

Re: Itch for a 10-22
Chere, Before you go spending a lot of money, SB Silhouette is not a 10/22 game. (Okay please don't come out of the woodwork and say Troy Lawton won a championship with one). You need to be more concerned with the ammo you going to use being accurate than if it will cycle the action.
You need a good bolt action accurate rifle, a repeatable scope, and ammo that can hold 1.00 at 100 meter for this sport period.

Thank you so much. I do believe I have ammo and gun to fill the bill for that ppkny.ppkny wrote:Chere, Before you go spending a lot of money, SB Silhouette is not a 10/22 game.

Looking at a 10/22 as an alternate for silhouette, and as a "fun" rifle for plinking and Friday night target shooting at the sportsmen's club.
