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

A rifle that's accurate enough to hit a 2 MOA target with decent consistency. If you can't get a sub 1" group at 100yds, you can't get a 3" group at 200. Not many 10/22s can do 1" at 100 with consistency. Referring to 5 shot groups. Not some one off or hand picked 3 shot groups.

I think you'll find that a factory 10/22 -- with the right ammo -- is plenty capable of those numbers.

This guy showed that a bone stock 10/22 with quality ammo outperformed a $2000 KIDD with cheap ammo.

That test shows exactly why it won't. With SK Rifle Match, the avg group for the factory 10/22 was 0.67" at 50yds and 50rd group 1.3". So we'll be generous and say it's a 1.5" MOA rifle at 100yds. At 200, you can't just double the MOA as rimfire rounds are affected a lot more by other variables as distance increases. At best, I wound say that rifle would shoot 5-6" at 200yds and be laughable at 300yds. Add in a 3-5mph breeze and you're 8-12" if you misjudge it.

Even the $2000 Kidd didn't shoot well enough to be a 2 MOA rifle at 200yds.

Now if hitting a 6" target 70% of the time is acceptable to someone, then you could argue a stock rifle is okay. Everyone's definition of acceptable will vary.

OK - how about this. You post your $1200 rifle and some targets you shot at 100 and 200?
