The Ruger 10/22 and AR-15 pattern rifles are the "barbie dolls" of rifles. Both have great after market support with all manner of accessories.

For years I have coveted a 10/22 target model with the hammer forged, spiral bull barrel. I was close to buying one when I spotted a very customized version offered by Magnum Research.

This rifle has a custom receiver with a Picatinny rail integral, graphite barrel and laminated stock. Mine has the "Forest Camo" colors in the stock. I had to put a heavier firing pin and hammer spring to make the rifle fire reliably. Many others have expressed a similar problem with graphite barrels. Mine is topped with a BSA Sweet 22 scope. It's light as a feather and a joy to shoot. My wife has the same rifle, but with the 17M2 barrel. She likes it very much. The internals are all built to Ruger spec. I also added a Buffer Technologies recoil buffer to eliminate that metal to metal "slap" of the bolt against the inside of the receiver when I shoot.
