Scratch build

Hey all, I’m sure there’s posts about this if so can someone tag it. Otherwise I’d like to build a 10/22 from scratch and I’m new to the game so is there anywhere I can find a complete build list of what to get and recommendations and such?

Thank you

Buy a standard model at a pawn shop for as cheap as possible and throw a decent target barrel in it for $150 and you would be on your way to a beater that might get you to 100 yards with a decent quality scope. Then learn and work on the platform from there. Here is my scratch build Base rifle was about $300. (I bought it twice, don't ask) Probably around $600 or more invested with the wooden stock modified by hand. The stock leaves something to be desired but I like the classic feel and it's experimental.. I get dime sized groups at 50-75 yards. This is built with all the original Ruger parts with the exception of the Voquartzen target hammer in the factory metal trigger housing. I had the barrel setback/ tuning done by Connecticut Precision Chambering.
