Ruger 10/22 "SRT"

I've been hearing about Appleseed, and their "Liberty Training Rifle" (aka LTR).  Well, I wanted something to train with for CMP Service Rifle competition.  Starting with a 10/22, and applying many of the upgrades of an LRT, I have what I call an SRT: Service Rifle Trainer.

To a basic Ruger 10/22 Carbine, I added Tech Sights which operate like an M16 A1 with windage and elevation, as well as a Rapidex knob for windage adjustment without a tool.   I got sling studs and swivels from MidwayUSA to attach a USGI cotton web sling.  And just for coolness factor, a flash-hider and 25rd magazine.

An afternoon in the woods with Wolf Match Target, Aguila Hypervelocity and Aguila Subsonic gave the basis for my trajectories table pasted to the stock.  I was able to get 2" groups from the Wolf without trying all that hard.  It is my hope that this will help my offhand scores with my M1 Garand.
