I bought the gun today for $209. I swapped the barrel band for this which allowed me to mount this bipod. I got this scope, but I only paid $30 for it. Does anything else need to be done, or what would all of you recommend? Trigger work or a barrel replacement? I like the stock as is.

Here are my quick & dirty "must haves" on my 10/22's

VQ bolt release

VQ bolt tune up kit

Power custom spring kit

Get a couple BX-25 mags & as much ammo as you can afford, and have fun!

And while not essential, I REALLY like the butler creek folding stock on mine combined with this barrel band for mounting a bipod or accessory as needed.

Still keeps it fairly lightweight, and gives you lots of options for smaller storage/carry situations, and you can easily hang a flashlight/laser/whatever right off the front without having to install a huge rail system.

I've used my takedown at the appleseed I attended modified by the addition of tech-sights. It was perfectly fine and held the point of aim through several takedowns.

For the sling I used a barrel band on the front and the back end of a sling I already had that was just nylon and velcros on and off. Both performed just fine for the holds required by Appleseed, and did not require any permanent modification.

$350-400. The tough part is finding one in stock; I had to basically just call every shop within driving distance until I found one that wasn't marking it up to $600.

In regards to using it for appleseed, make sure you do some googling about this model. It's not easy to attach a sling to it. Here, have some tidbits I've learned since getting mine:

Try and only get Ruger-branded mags (look for BX-25 especially). If you have the chance to get an off-brand, I've found that my two "Doc Banks" mags are TOTAL shit, but the two "Butler Creek Steel Lips" mags I have both worked with three different ammo brands with no issue.

If you are going to turn it into a LTR for Appleseed, look at LOTS of videos about attaching a sling to it before you decide what to do for yours (incidentally, I'm going to go with this and this as my solution). Also, when you order your Tech Sights for it, make sure you also buy Loc-tite (medium/blue) and some brass punch tools if you don't have any (you need the punch tools to tap that front sight out).

Try not to pay more than $.10 a round for ammo; keep an eye on the .22lr section of gunbot.net for a deal. If you have the luxury of choice, stay away from "Remington Golden Bullets;" they are already filthy as hell, but worse is they're also dusted with this glittery bullshit that makes you look like you've been fondling dirty strippers after every re-load.

That bag doubles as a bench-rest/pad for you to set the rifle on and shoot with.

Enjoy that rifle; it's fun!

Nice guns man. I too have a Takedown and a 22/45 mkiii.
I initially got the Takedown, like you, for easy transport and being inconspicuous. Now that I own multiple more guns, the inconspicuous factor doesn't matter to me as much ;)
BTW: instead of having a smith drill your stock, maybe consider one of these:

I've got it on mine. Super easy to install, sling mount and picatinny rail. Not for everyone, but I thought I'd mention it.

u/the_duck17 · 1 pointr/1022

I added a rear Tech Sight, then cut a pic rail to use the raining 2 receiver screws to mount a micro red dot I keep in my range bag for fun. Front sight was swapped out with a Tech Sight too, but was a little bit of a pain since I had to take the flash hider off to complete this.

Edit: wait, I remember now...I didn't have to take the flash hider off for this, it was to get this barrel band thing on, thinking this was good enough for appleseed, but ended up having to switch it out for an Uncle Mike's sling swivel set for my GI sling (had to drill & epoxy the rear swivel to the hollow plastic stock).
