Building my own 10/22

[Aeubanks794]

I have been away for awhile due to life/family/etc.  I am building my own 10/22, so far I have the trigger.  I already know which barrel I am getting (FJ Feddersen out of Loudon, TN).  My question is... does anybody know a good person/company here in Tennessee that makes custom stocks.  I have a pretty good general idea of what I am wanting regarding the stock, but it would be great to have some input.  Thanks!

Boyd's gun stocks they have a lot of different stocks and will do some minor adjustments per your request

With the Feddersen barrel your rifle will be heavy so you might as well get a stock that is worth that barrel:

You also need to get a bolt that will be up to par with that barrel.  If you already have a stock bolt and receiver you might want Randy at CPC to tune up that bolt for you or get an aftermarket bolt.  http://www.ct-precision.com/  or http://www.kiddinnovativedesign.com/KIDD-Bolt-_p_31.html

 

a few of us have been down the rabbit hole on 10/22s and if you really want to see what is out there just go to rimfirecentral.com

 

Dolomite Supafly, a moderator here, has some good ideas on 10/22s as does member Plinker4life 

 

Here are some 10/22s I enjoy/enjoyed shooting:

 

There is a Feddersen barrel under this one somewhere:

 

I was going through a "phase"

I appreciate all of the input.  This really helps!

I just bought a Feddersen barrel, so far so good.

[Aeubanks794]

Electric B - Good to hear.  I can't wait to order all of my stuff and start assembling.

B&C makes some nice stocks also.  Really depends if you want more of a tactical look and feel or something like a sporter. Then you also have a pile crazy looking stocks.

 

So are you planning tactical,sporter, or wild?

I was thinking of more sporter, maybe even slightly tactical.  Definitely not the wild looking ones.  Not my style.

I would say the best deal for the money would be a Boyd's pro varmint. That would be the green/black stock Graycrait posted above. One of my personal favorites is the Bell &Carlson Anschutz stock.

Also the Titan stock mentioned above should be great also. I have not personally tried it though. At the moment I believe I have 8 10/22's in various custom configurations. I have tried just about every aftermarket part made. And if I haven't tired it Graycrait more than likely has.

I actually really like the tactical stock by Boyds. It might be made out of wood, and coated, but it is still pretty light. It also feels very nice.

I ordered a Titan stock this morning. Hope it feels as good as it looks.

[plinker4life]

Every thing I have heard about the Titan stock is positive other than being a little on the heavy side.
