Now that I have a Bergara B14R 22 LR, I think I want to put together another one. Why not, right? Variety is the spice of life!
With that said, do I pick up another bolt gun with the CZ 457 Varmint (this was my original choice before I got the Bergara) or should I trick out the nearly unused Ruger 10/22 Deluxe I've had sitting in my safe for years? Initial upgrades would be:
1. Barrel - probably a Feddersen or Kidd
2. Trigger - initially just a Ruger BX - that seems to be a nice bang for the buck
3. Stock - not sure on this, maybe a Boyds, maybe a Magpul hunter, or maybe I'll just inlet the barrel channel on the OEM Ruger stock
Discuss - I'm open to ideas on the pros and cons of each - this will likely be a range toy and won't be used for much else.
