This high-capacity magazine and magazine loader come from Shooters Ridge, and can speed up shooting.
something that should take a minute or so, but the access to these springs is very narrow. It took me close to half an hour to accomplish this step. And apparently a lot of other customers ran into the same problem … and complained … so Timney came up with a solution. They now market their new 10/22 trigger in a housing that contains all the parts. Drive out the retaining pins for the original housing, put the new housing with the new trigger into place, and replace the retaining pins. Bingo! You’re ready to go shooting. Timney is going to save a lot of 10/22 owners a headache. And this trigger is a dandy … light, smooth, and crisp. If you try one, you’ll like it! I measured the pull weight of the trigger I installed, using an RCBS Trigger Pull Scale. It tripped at precisely 2 pounds and was perfectly uniform from shot to shot, with no creep and no overtravel. I was quite content with this result. In addition to 10/22 stocks, Shoot-
ers Ridge markets cartridge magazines for the Ruger 10/22 … seven in all, I
This replacement trigger for the Ruger 10/22 is a Timney and pulls at precisely two pounds. The extended magazine release at the front of the trigger housing is more convenient than the original factory release.
think, the last time I checked one of their catalogs … plus a magazine loader. Five models of magazines hold 25 cartridges and two hold 30 cartridges. And the magazine loader lets you fi ll a magazine very rapidly just by turning a crank. Now you can get back to shoot- ing that much sooner! When you do run out of cartridges and need to replace that magazine, it’s now easier with the Shooters Ridge magazine release. The tab is longer than the factory one so it offers more purchase for your fi nger, making it easier to drop out an empty magazine.
Shooters Ridge also offers shoot-
ing sticks for supporting your rifle, and one model I particularly like is the Fixed-Length Shooting Sticks that have no joints. Since they don’t fold up they can’t be carried in a pack, but they also can’t come loose at a joint at an inop- portune time while you’re trying to get your rifl e lined up on a target. I’ve had that happen with jointed sticks and have concluded I now prefer these fi xed-
length models. (If you do prefer jointed sticks, there are several models of these in the Shooters Ridge catalog.) If you like to use a bipod on your
rifl e, whether shooting prone or for sup- port on a bench or table, there are about half a dozen models in the Shooters Ridge catalog … plus adaptors to fas- ten them to a rifl e. For shooting from a bench or similar support, Shooters Ridge has several styles of sand bags that can be used for supporting both the stock fore-end or butt. Also, there are three styles of metal rifl e rests with a variety of features. One model swivels and the other two can have weight (sandbags or steel plates) added to absorb recoil. For shooting prone on the prairie, the Shooters Ridge roll-up shooting mat can keep your body out of the prickly pear, a very desirable feature! For hauling all your gear across
the prairie, check out the Voyager Shoot- ing System handcart. You can put your shooting gear in the cart and pull it to where you plan to shoot and then set it up as a shooting bench … complete with padded seat. I’ve used this bench in the fi eld and it’s remarkably steady … and it does make life easier getting your gear to where you want to shoot. If it’s shootin’ accessories you
want or need, check out the Shooters Ridge catalog. And if it’s a superb Ruger 10/22 trigger you want, check out the new Timney.
