This custom target/varmint rifle weighs a mere 6 lbs. and has fantastic balance, fit and feel. The two-tone silver and black theme works very well with the black/grey stock.
The features of this version of my "New-Old School" series are: New Ruger receiver; hardened and jeweled match bolt; Heier/Red Mist custom billet logo extended handle; Raptor stock; my design 20" match octagon Whistle Pig barrel; Super-Match trigger assembly with Volquartsen internals, Tactical Solutions lever magazine release, Ballistic Specialties custom trigger and an auto bolt release; Turcite - X buffer; Power Custom raised billet scope base; quick detach (no tool) billet rings; Barska target series 6-24x50 AO scope - parallax adjustable from 25 yards with fine X-hair and dot center.
The stock is finished in satin and fit to an adult with small - medium hands. The Raptor is the best fitting, quickest to the eye stock made for the 10/22. It is ergonomically correct for hand and head position. These stocks are a dream to shoot with. If you like the Barracuda - you will love the Raptor.
The trigger pulls at slightly over 2 1/2 lbs and is very smooth and crisp.
I call these "New-Old School" because they blend the very best in modern parts and tecnology with that "old school" look of the octagon barrel. This series that I designed and have been building since 2005 have become my most requested build.
This is a customized and fully upgraded SR-22. This is Ruger's new version of a rifle that I first built in 2004 known as the "Bad-Ass" Tactical. I have built many versions of the Bad-Ass over the years with each one different. This is a complete up-grade of the stock Ruger copy of my original design.
The SR-22 standard features are a complete Ruger 10/22 RB receiver assembly; an all aluminum frame assembly made by Nordic Components for Ruger; 6 position retractable M-4 butt assembly; Hogue made grip. .750" diameter precision rifled cold hammer-forged 16 1/8" threaded .22 LR barrel (this is a brand new exclusive barrel for Ruger); Nordic front tube grip; sling stud and combo barrel support block; retractable M-4 carbine buttstock.
To this I have added: Ruger/Nordic billet raised top sight rail & bottom rail; UTG removable carry handle with fully adjustable battle sights; NC Z-mount see-through optic mount with side rails; Mark III 4 power lighted rubber armored tactical scope with built-in red laser and lever-throw quick detach for instantaneous removal; Mag-Pul MBUS spring loaded quick deploy front sight; custom over-lap threaded comp/fake suppressor from Mike "The Machinist"; steel lip 25 round mag from Butler Creek; Heier Super-Match trigger assembly (2.5 lb.) with custom blue anodized billet target trigger from Ballistic Specialties, Volquartsen internals and an auto-bolt release; Heier brushed target bolt assembly with custom steel skeleton Tactical Inc. handle; MAKO T-Grip tactical foregrip with trigger activation; SWAT tactical 100 lumen light.
Over $550 in parts upgrades have been added to this tactical offering from Ruger. It is now truly a real "Bad-Ass" tactical weapon ready for any situation!
This rifle has a sweeeet trigger (2 lb. 8 oz.), is extremely well balanced and weighs 7 lbs. 6oz. It is only 31.5" long when collapsed and 34.5" when extended. You get the fit, look and feel of a tricked out AR-15 without the cost of ammo. These rifles are not known to be ammo sensitive as some other imports are reported to be and I have received many reports of 5-shot groups being 1/2" - 3/4" at 50 yards. That is about 50% - 60% better than all of the imported tactical .22s that I have tested. These rifles also love to shoot Stingers and Velocitors unlike other imported tacticals. The only thing needed to get to consistent total match accuracy of 1/2" or less at 50 would be a barrel upgrade. My sources at Ruger have told me that this cold forged threaded barrel was a completely new design and process for this rifle alone. It was designed to be very accurate out of the box and leave the competitor's weapons in the dust with respect to accuracy, parts availability, reliability and quality.
This weapon system is ready for the range, varmint eradication or home defense. It will accept any AR-15 accessory and will work with a multitude of magazines that are readily available. I function tested this rifle with 3 different brands of ammo and it took them all without issue. I used bulk "cheapo" ammo, standard and hyper-velocity rounds. It ate them all and was ready for more. It loves hollow-points.
You get Ruger's ever reliable 10/22 rifle with some of the best new custom components. My "Bad-Ass" rifles are accurate, reliable, cheap to shoot and are easy to upgrade. What more do you want? Sure these custom tactical .22s can cost as much as an AR-15 to build but the one big difference is the cost of ammo. These guys will accurately shoot cheap off the shelf ammo all day long. A whole day at the range will only cost you $40 for ammo. I can run $40 worth of ammo through my AR-15 in about 10 minutes! Maintenance on a 10/22 is easier and takes 1/4 the time. More shooting = more fun. Pretty simple.
I very seldom have one of these for sale. SNOOZE-YOU-LOSE on this custom "Bad-Ass".

This is one of the new billet synthetic Ruger housings with the following upgrades: Volquartsen target hammer, springs & shims; polished stainless steel auto bolt release; high polished and mated sear & disconnector; radiused & polished trigger plunger; polished strut assembly; silver trigger with over-travel stop; Tactical Solutions lever magazine release.
Ruger is converting all trigger assemblies to the new synthetic glass filled units that are CNC machined. These units are lighter, stronger and more precise than the cast aluminum units. They are also impervious to all cleaning chemicals and they do not "chip" or scrape to show silver underneath. For those of you who are leary of synthetics in guns - I say think Glock, SIGMA, H&K, etc.!
This assembly has a smooth reduced pre-travel with a clean 2 lb. 9 oz. break. It is set up for “trigger on finger” varmint or moving target shooting or for those shooters who prefer a little pre-travel in their triggers. It would be the perfect drop-in for anyone upgrading their 10/22 LR.

This new assembly uses an all new Ruger molded and machined synthetic housing. These new trigger assemblies are lighter, stronger and more precise than the older cast aluminum ones. They do not nick, scratch or show silver from underneath and they are impervious to cleaning chemicals. For those of you who are leary of synthetics in guns - I say think Glock, SIGMA, H&K, etc.!
It’s features are: Volquartsen target hammer, springs and shims; BallisticSpecialties billet trigger – anodized burgandy/red; Tactical Solutions black billet lever extended magazine release; Volquartsen polished stainless automatic bolt release; polished and mated hardened sear and disconnect; micro-polished strut assembly; Wolff extra power hammer spring; radiused and polished trigger plunger and match return spring; high polished magazine plunger. This trigger assembly has a very good “two-stage” feel. Although not actually a two-stage set-up it feels fantastic. It has a smooth reduced pre-travel with a crisp 2 lb. 8 oz. break. It would be ideal for varmint shooters and moving target competition but would also work great the bench shooter who likes a slight two-stage feel to a trigger. I personally use this assembly in several of my own rifles.
This is one of the new billet synthetic Ruger housings with the following upgrades: Volquartsen target hammer, springs & shims; polished stainless steel auto bolt release; polished and mated sear & disconnector; radiused & polished trigger plunger; polished strut assembly; Ballistic Specialties custom Gold full curve trigger; Tactical Solutions lever magazine release.
This assembly has a smooth reduced pre-travel with a clean 2 lb. 9 oz. break. It is set up for “trigger on finger” varmint or moving target shooting or for those shooters who prefer a little pre-travel in their triggers. It is for the .22 LR only and will not work properly in a Mach 2 conversion. It would be the perfect drop-in for anyone upgrading their 10/22 LR.
This is a brand new factory machined synthetic assembly with Volquartsen target hammer, springs & shims; polished mag plunger; polished strut; auto bolt release; some pre-travel maintained; my design custom cushioned extended mag - release; over-travel stop; 2.5 lb. to 2.75 lb. pull.
These new housings are lighter, stronger and more precise in dimensions than the old cast aluminum ones AND they do not chip or scratch - showing silver underneath. Perfect "no-frills" all business drop-in replacement for varmint hunters, plinkers or target shooters.
Absolutely the best set-up for "finger-on trigger" varmint hunting. No early - fire misses.
This assembly has the same trigger job performed on it that over 95% of my customers have requested for decades.
Match job on your assembly. What you get: New Volquartsen match hardened hammer, springs and shims; jig alignment of internal sub-assembly parts (sear, disconnect & trigger); polish strut assembly; polish and radius trigger return plunger; polish magazine retainer plunger; install auto bolt release; test all functions. You will receive back a complete report with before and after results, work performed and proper break-in & maintenance procedures. Most factory pre-travel is maintained for “finger on trigger” shooting of varmints. The final pull will be 2 ½ to 2 ¾ lbs. We have done over 2,000 of these jobs. This trigger job is the most preferred by our customers. We do not and will not re-work soft factory parts. We replace the parts with hardened Match Grade parts. Any unused softer factory parts are returned back to you with completed assembly. Using ground on or “honed” soft factory parts is nothing more than putting premature wear on those soft parts almost certainly guaranteeing premature failure. Our turn-around time very seldom exceeds 2 days and most are back in the mail next day.
Complete new assemblies with above trigger work already done also available. Ask for quote.
Super-Match job on your assembly. What you get: Everything from the Match job PLUS a hardened and polished match sear, over-travel stop on your trigger and an extended magazine release. The sear to disconnect set is jig aligned and shimmed as necessary. The factory pre-travel is reduced. This trigger job is designed for target shooters who occasionally do field varmint shooting as well.
Ultra-Match job on your assembly. You get everything from the Match & Super-Match jobs PLUS the addition of an externally adjustable match sear (pre-travel), custom billet target trigger and choice of either a Volquartsen or Tactical-Solutions extended magazine release. This job is designed for serious target & bench rest shooters and is for .22 LR only! The final pull will be 1 ½ to 2lbs. (plus or minus 2 oz.) Please e-mail me after purchase of this job with your choices for trigger & mag release.
Dealer five pack. New factory hammers and springs. These are the "new style" that do not require bushings.
This is the cheapest way for you “do-it -yourself” trigger guys to get your parts. You can chop/cut/grind on these bad boys to your heart’s content! Seems that Ruger no longer offers these separately and trying to find them at Brownell’s or Midway is a chore. Best deal on the net.
This is the large body high power tactical laser that uses the CR123 batteries commonly used in high dollar flashlights and tactical accessories. It is fully adjustable in both X & Y axis as well as fully adjustable for windage & elevation. The laser and mounts are of aircraft aluminum. It comes with a “curly cord” pressure switch and a push button switch as well as a 1” tube mount and a Weaver base mount. This is the ultra-bright 635nm laser module with a night time capability of 1,000 yards. It comes with a manufacturer’s one year replacement warranty. Best full power all metal red laser made for the money.
This is a green (daytime) tactical laser. This high power green laser is in field use through-out the world. It provides up to 100 yard beam visibility in subdued daylight or 50 yards in sunlight. It has a 5 watt maximum output at 532nm and is not a toy! It is extremely bright and can severely damage the eyes if beam makes contact with them. It alone would be an awesome defensive weapon against an attacker. The beam is highly visible at night and can be seen for 5 miles (over 9,000 yards). It could also be a great survival item if you were lost. Any good home defense tactical weapon needs one of these. I had one on my varmint rifle – they didn’t stand a chance! This laser comes with a remote “curly-cord” switch, on/off push switch, aluminum combat mount for Weaver style bases, battery, adjustment wrenches, complete instructions and warranty. These lasers were retailing for $399 less than a year ago.
Brand new take-outs from new 10/22s. Use this to replace the worn one on your old shooter or work it over for a DIY trigger job.

Best price on the net. Ruger does not offer these seperately.
Hardened and cryoed factory bolt with match extractor, spring and firing pin. The bolt face is squared and the head space is corrected as needed. The side is jeweled for great looks.
NEW factory target bolt.
This is the same bolt used in the factory 10/22T heavy barrel target rifles. It would be a perfect replacement for an older worn unit. It works in all 10/22 variants including the Charger.
The hardened bolt is side polished to a high luster.

These will be exclusive to this site. There is quite a bit of hand labor involved in these. They are not and can not be mass produced.
The logo grip is 5/8" in diameter and 1" in length - the perfect size for grip and overall look.
They are that "crowning touch" that screams custom gun.

Factory fresh handle & spring. This is an ideal way to renew the bolt timing for proper function and smoothness. Most factory bolt/recoil springs get weak at about 5,000 rounds. This is the cheapest way to get the cycling of the bolt back to new specs.
Ends the frustrating two handed release of the bolt once you have locked it open. Once installed, all you have to do to close the bolt is to pull back slightly on the handle and let go. Presto, you are in battery and ready to begin firing.
Volquartsen Polished, Stainless End the frustrating two handed bolt release "fumbling" with this item. Once installed all you need to do to release the bolt from the locked open position is pull back slightly on the bolt handle and let go. Bingo! You are ready to go again. The MSRP on this item is $12
I designed this custom “cushioned” extended magazine release. A simple flip forward with your finger and the magazine drops out. No more fumbling trying to find the right place to push up on a factory release! The cushioned lever is ½” long and won’t mar the paint on your vehicle if you happen to rest your rifle on it.
These are the new Ruger factory wide extended magazine releases used on the target rifles and the Charger pistols. They make for easy release and changing of magazines. No more two-handed "fumbling" and trying to find the right place to press to release your magazine.
They are made of glass filled nylon synthetic and extend 5/8" down and are 1/2" wide. They are angled for ergonomically correct use.
The simplest and cheapest upgrade for your 10/22.
Ballistic Specialties Maximum ergonomics and feel.Full curve design with fine ribbing allows for plenty of room and no over-travel stop is needed due to it’s unique design. The one you are buying is BURGANDY/RED.
The red from these guys is more of an anodized burgandy/red color than a true red.

10 round magazine Black; Part # BX-1
Pro Mag 32 round high - cap magazine.
Steel Lips - Made in USA.
Lifetime warranty.
Honestly folks, I can't find a difference between these and Butler Creek Steel Lips. They even "clip" together in two's. I have used these for several years and haven't worn one out yet!
Best 10/22 magazine for the money - period.
NOTE: The ones currently in stock are clear NOT smoke as in the picture.
Butler Creek 25 round steel lip magazine.
Considered by some to be the best high-cap for the 10/22.
These mags have feed lips that are made of hardened steel - the same as the factory mags; have a constant tension spring and can be "jungle clipped" together with another one for a 50 round capacity.
THESE QUALITY MAGS SELL FOR $25 - $30 ELSEWHERE ON THE WEB.
SNOOZE - YOU - LOSE on these!
Custom threaded flush mount fake silencer/weighted compensator.
Made by Mike "The Machinist" .
Gives that finishing touch to a tactical build and adds just the right amount of forward weight to have better control when off-hand shooting.

Bull barrel bore guide/crown saver.
Slip this Delrin guide over the muzzle with the port up. Start a patch into the guide stopping at the port. Use the pipette supplied to squeeze cleaning solvent into the port saturating the patch. Push patch through the barrel and return. Repeat until dry patches are clean.
This bore guide works fantastic with the mag insert/bolt protector sold here.
These were made by "Red Mist Maker" and are the last ones to be made.
These are exclusive to this site.
Turcite X bolt stop buffer.
Your search for the best buffer for the 10/22 LR AND the Mach 2 conversions is over!
These buffers are exclusive here and meet all my requirements for a bolt buffer.
These buffers do not wear out prematurely like softer buffers do nor do they change the rebound "timing" of the rifle like some softer ones do. I have seen many ejection/extraction problems over the years directly caused by buffers that were too soft and allowed too fast of a rebound of the bolt. These Turcite X buffers provide the correct lock time while keeping the shock load from being transferred entirely to the receiver. In short - they really work.
Turcite X is a synthetic material that has the following properties: low friction, self lubricating, maintenance free, long wearing, chemical resistent and moisture proof. It is specifically designed for shock load applications and possesses extremely low expansion properties. It is used throughout the aircraft and automotive industries where metal to metal contact occurs and a bearing is not feasible.
I have used, tested and abused all the other buffers available for the 10/22. Some are good and some are junk. These guys are as good as it gets. I have custom rifles with these in them that have fired many thousands of rounds without a problem and without needing changed.
They are slightly oversized by .002 so that when installed in the receiver they do not "walk" or rotate in their holes. The problem of receiver holes being too large and the buffer pin falling out when servicing the rifle is over. Once installed the buffer is custom fit to your individual receiver.
They come with complete photo instructions for installation. They are extremely easy to install and will extend the service life of your bolt and receiver without hurting the rifle's performance.
"You've tried the rest - now it's time to try the best".
Turcite X bolt stop buffers 3 - pack.
Volquartsen Match Target hammer pack. Once installed it reduces the heavy factory pull (5 lb. to 8 lb. ) to between 2 ½ - 2 ¾ lbs. The hammer is the hardest in the industry for the 10/22 and allows for consistent and great long term results. This kit comes with match hammer, hammer shims, trigger return spring and match hammer spring.
New factory replacement trigger with adjustable OT (over-travel ) stop. The stop is slightly off-set to the right of centerline for proper consistent contact for right hand shooters.
LH shooters should e-mail me and request a neutral-set stop. Perfect replacement for the stock trigger. Black
LH shooters should e-mail me and request a neutral-set stop.
Perfect replacement for the stock trigger. Silver
The new "battleship grey" color trigger used on Ruger's "stainless" rifles is available - e-mail me.
This is a replacement trigger for the new "stainless" 10/22s that are actually a gun-metal grey color. They are not silver like the old ones.
These come in the new synthetic trigger assemblies that are in what Ruger calls a "stainless" 10/22.
6.5-20x50AO Varmint Extreme scope Multi-coated optics; nitrogen filled; one-piece construction; parallax free from 20 yards; super fine x-hairs with 1/8 dot center. It has it all: great eye relief ( 3.75 in. ); 1/8” precise turret adjustments; wide field of view; easy focus; adjustable objective for range finding & more! This is the perfect scope for varmint and target shooting. I have spent hundreds of dollars more and not had as nice of quality scope as this one! For the money - these are the best scopes going right now - period!
Famous Maker Tactical laser system with mounts All aluminum parts with two switches, batteries and mounts needed to mount to a Weaver/Picatinny type base or 1” tube. This is the real deal – a true adjustable tactical laser – not a cheap converted “pointer”. It is good to 500 yards. This is the best deal on a real laser for the money, period!
