I would like to buy or build a semi auto Ruger 10/22 pattern rifle in the summer time. The over all package needs to be light weight, optics ready and be able to run a suppressor. Only cheap bulk ammo will be used. I would like a light trigger like my tikka tac a1 w/ aftermarket trigger spring. It does not matter if it's a one or two stage trigger.
As for scopes, I'd like it to be on par with the SWFA ultra light. If it can be dialed, id like it to be mils. Google shows people recommending leupold's rimfire series but they are heavier.
As far as the rifle using only bulk ammo, am I better off buying built, off the shelf or taking a 10/22 and modding it myself? The Thompson TCR-22 seems to check all the boxes. It would be great if the stock folded and the over all rifle itself were lighter. Tacticalsol makes a bunch of variants as well. For example this is a little lighter than an off the shelf 10/22 from what I see but far heavier than the Thompson.
I am not trying to obtain a sub 1moa group. We are used to shooting a 30+ year old marlin with a bent Bushnell scope and it works amazing. However, I wont get it threaded for a can so I need something new.
Thoughts?
