Ruger "Competition" 10/22

[Gunslinger1911]

Seems to be a new version of the venerable 10/22.
Bull bbl, "special" chamber (??) lol
BX-1 trigger assy
Last shot hold open
Extended mag rel
Rear anchor.
Scope mount integral
Kinda funky stock
I think list is $700 ish

Better shoot sub 1/2" at 50 with at least Green Tag, must be sub 1/2" with Center X or it won't sell.

Chances are that it has some version of the "Bentz" chamber. Do not shoot any of the hypervelocity Stinger-type .22 ammo in it. Those have a longer case, which gets pinched at the mouth by competition chambers like the Bentz.

I wonder about a Benz or kinda-Benz chamber in an auto.
Although Green Mountain seems to have figured it out. Supposed to be a modified Benz. Works great in my 10-22 build.

At this price point, Ruger won't be able to get away with the iffy bbl used in the precision rimfire - that one is priced to be able to buy a better bbl.
If the trigger group is just a BX-1, you have to add $100 for a Brimstone trigger job.
I believe the stock is pebble painted wood. Eh
Also, I think the bulk of accuracy-nut 10-22 shooters are gonna want to build their own with parts from a multitude of diff manu that they feel are perfect for them. And have the fun of the build.

Don't get me wrong, I love Rugers - have a bunch. They have been innovative from the beginning.
The 10-22 build craze has been going on for decades, Ruger may be too little, too late.

The Bentz was specifically developed for semi-autos. It is rather large, to assure that a wide variety of ammo will go in easily, but it is short, to engrave the bullet and center it up. I don't know of any bolt and lever actions, or even non-competition semi-autos, that use the Bentz. They have to assume that the user will want to shoot Stingers.

Food for thought:

$700ish??? Wowww, 25 years ago built mine with a Green Mountain bull barrel, Bishop red, white and blue laminate stock. Total cost $135!!! Put a cheap scope on it, has done well, so why change?? And,,,,,,,,, it willl shoot!!! Just my .02

I hear you Bud.
$89.95 for the 10-22 (dang, that dates me!), Green Mtn bbl, one of those finish it yourself Fajen thumbhole stocks from Midway, "splurged" on a $100 32x BSA scope. Shot the snot out of it, still do.
Of course, through the years (decades) have invested in just about all the guts imaginable to squeeze a little more accuracy out of it.
Quite a few bucks, untold hours of smithing, tweaking, bedding, pilloring (that a word ?).
Accurate, fun to shoot, unique, still one of my favorite guns.
