Thanks for the compliments guys!

Just need to get it sighted in this weekend.

Damn that looks nice mate, the wood stock looks good on there.
On a side note that thread pitch is the standard here, hard to find anything else on a .22

Oh and I didn't manage to get out for long last weekend, heavy rain on Friday, meetings all day Saturday and rain again Sunday, but it was light enough that I got out for a quick mag in the bush near home.
That suppressor works real nice, was only just out of sight of the houses.

That is interesting your standard thread is 1/2x20. Most threaded barrels sold in the US are 1/2x28. Wondering if my rifle was originally built by Ruger to be sold down under. For what ever reason didn't get exported.

I just got back from my bi-monthly range outing. Had the second IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) club match for this month at Okeechobee Shooting Sports. Only bummer was the last shot of the last stage of the match my 1911/45 caliber stopped working. The sear broke in half and fell out the mag well after giving it a couple good shakes. Anyways.... after all the competitors had left a few buddies and I got out the rifles. I had my Remington 700 / 7mm Rem Mag, AR-15 and the 10/22 with the NoDak Spud sights. All of them needed to be sighted in or have their zeros confirmed. Took ten rounds to get the scope on the 7mm moved and hitting dead on. First five shot group with the AR was dead on. I figured my luck would end there. Having taken the NoDak sights out of the box and screwing them on, figured the point of aim would be off by a mile. So instead of paper targets, went for water bottles on the back stop. That way I could watch for the dirt splash to make the gross sight adjustments.

First shot, expecting it to be wide of the target To my surprise, was just a hair high and left. Didn't even monkey around with the sights. Just dropped my point of aim a touch and started racking of hits on the water bottle. Shot up 40 rounds, jumping the bottle all over the back stop. I was having some good fun. Next time out I'll worry about turning the couple clicks to make it just right.

I am rather impressed with these sights. Just want to say that I would recommend these to anyone that was interested in different sights for their 10/22. Thanks Te HoPo for putting me onto them.

Cheers!

Thats awesome to hear Kevin, I'm glad you like them!

Well I am progressing on adapting my Techsights to mimic the NDS25, no pics though yet and I haven't been out shooting anymore due to the wet weather we've been getting.
