Sorry. Not looking for advice on a stalking rifle but am looking for a replacement for my Ruger 10/22 and thought you horrible lot would probably be able to help.
If you had asked me 6 months ago about my Ruger, I would have said it was a fantastic rifle and hardly ever jammed. Now, I would have to say it is a pain in the arse! I put about 3500 rounds through it per year and have had it just 2 years. It now seems to get the ejected case caught on the rapidly returning bolt. It is driving me mad and I have cleaned everything including the mags in the hope that it is curable but it is still doing it.
My question is, should I spend some money on it and get some more volquartsen add ons. Or, should I chop it in and go for a change. If I go for a change, should I look at another semi or a bolt action (I am a left handed shot).
Any advice would be most welcome.
