Default A year in the making... Squirrel slayer is done!

Hi guys.

It all started with a Ruger 10/22 TD Threaded. I bought a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 BDC Rimfire scope, AMAZING! Then I replaced the hammer and parts of the trigger group with Volquartsen Sport Hammer kit, and also shimmed the trigger group. The result... 2 - 2.5 lbs of trigger pull, no creep, no slack, just glass! Best trigger I've ever used.

Then it laid there, for months, until this past week I finally finished it. Added Butler Creek scope flip-up covers, got a decent bipod that pivots and tracks (Blackhawk!), and had to install the swivel stud to the stock by drilling it and gluing it in place.

The results: s pooping their pants at the mere sight of this black beauty.

Now the only thing missing is a can. But I hate the idea of paying a tax stamp and waiting months for something so frivolous as a silencer. We'll see...
