Took my 13 yr old grandson to the range today so that he could use his brand new Ruger 10/22 (black synthetic stock model) he got for Christmas. Once he got used to the sights, he was hitting the swinging steel target 65 yards away, using my range bag for support. The 70º weather on a Christmas day in Kentucky certainly made for an enjoyable time at the range.
You, sir, are describing what NORMAL life is like and how great it is in the "REAL" world out here in what Left Coast and Right Coast elitists call "Fly-over country." It's sad that they not only miss out on these special experiences of life, like you and your grandson had this Christmas, but that they also want to extinguish our great way of life. We have to continually resist their Totalitarian desires for control.

Merry Christmas to you and your son!
My older brother bought me a Marlin Model 60 on Christmas and we got a chance to do some shooting as well. I've done a good deal of shooting in the last few years, but this is my first personally owned firearm, and so far I've fallen in love with it!
hickok45 may I ask to not be so political just enjoy what you have
I’m 75, (1946) and I’ve owned my Ruger 10/22 since 1970, shortly after I got out of the Army. Awesome, very accurate rifle.
Thanks for serving us Mr Fulton. I just bought one of these for my son he is 2 months old
@@col.cottonhill6655 thanks for serving our country, Col Cotton Hill.
@@gsingh5402 thank Stinky, Brooklyn and Fatty. They didn't come home
Thank you for your services
@@col.cottonhill6655 start them early. 🍸I like it.
I remember as an 8 year old kid walking the road collecting returnable cans and bottles to buy 22 ammo
Did you have a Marlin 60 in those days ?
I remember once seeing a Western Auto branded model 120,
same as a Marlin 60
I used to purchase Remington .22 lr ammo in bulk boxes.
I only had a BB gun, still fun
OMG society now would fall over to hear that. 😂 What has come to our country
It makes me feel so much better to know that Hickok also struggles with that damn bolt lock on the 10-22
Volquartsen auto bolt release and about 5 minutes of your time best upgrade you can make to a 10/22 still doesnt lock back on last round but makes it where you can drop the bolt like any other firearm
Yup the bolt lock is a pisser lol. Thankfully they fixed it on the ruger PC carbine.
I never got used to it in 44 years. But I loved that little gem dearly anyway
Quick modification will fix that. Search “10 22 bolt release mod”
I like how he leaves the safety on once in a while. Or forgets to charge it.
“I’m ready for the recoil. I’m a glutton for punishment.” 😂
Hickok is tuff AS Rocky. If He can handle 10/22!!
@POINTTWOFIVEMOA The joke
I love how his joking voice is identical to his serious tone. Took a few to catch on but I actually find it hilarious.
Aero that's southern sarcasm for ya.
Yes. He’s a deadpan humorist.
Aero well he was an English teacher! What do you expect😂
Aero "you mean you cant tell I'm joking"? Lol
Aero that’s why you gotta he in your P’s Nd Q’s about firearms and the jones he makes. Definitely can’t be the gullible type around this man.
The way that Mr. Hickok45 chuckles as he shoots the 7up cans is as wholesome as can be. True and genuine passion.
all 5 of my granddaughters got a shiny new 10/22 when they turned 10 and so far 2 of em have earned a shiny new AR15 for their 16th birthday
Grandpa I just turned 10 AND 16
🙇🏼♀️
PM me for my home address please 😊
Gramps, same here! I'm 26, which if you add 10 and 16 thats what you get, close enough, right?
sheesh yall rich I still got me a lil 9mm
An ar? I got a 30-06 lever action at 16
I'm sure they really love you. My dad gave me a .22 rifle with an interchangeable 410 barrel for my 10th birthday. One day I'll get to give it to my son
My brother just handed his 10-22 off to its fourth generation.
It doesn't get much more classic than that.
Browning auto5
@newagetojo ok lets go shoot some sporting clays and see who hits what an auto 5 is a 12 gauge buddy.
That is heart warning..
Keeping America... American..
already on the 4th generation?
It dont matter it wont help it shoot any more accurately.
I think everyone on earth should own a 10/22
Always fun. And good quality :)
annnnddddd there's the .45 fanboy
And Australians..... Semi auto rimfire, limited licences, hardly see one anymore
Steve Nast definitely a staple in anyone’s collection

“Having more fun than a man is suppose to have.” Love it.
I got a 10/22 last year to teach my son to shoot. He paid attention and remembers the safety rules and is becoming quite the marksman! He skipped right over the Red Ryder BB gun.
My first rifle was the 10/22. Back in 1982 it cost me around $80. It still looks brand new and shoots great! I bought it in a Central California hardware store. “Paint, light bulbs, screwdrivers, and.....here we are GUNS!” Things have certainly changed on the left coast and across the country since then.
Now its all communist in california

4:46 It soothed my 2A soul to watch The Master struggle with a .22’s mag and then miss the soda can twice. Life is good!
It concerned me to see the “master” struggle inserting a mag and chambering a round.
Every ten year old in America should get a 10/22 for Christmas
Agree, I raised my son on this rifle. He's a sophomore in college now and we shot together this weekend. Countless thousands of rounds, varied targets and mods. At least as many smiles, good times.
@@tactical690r2 if only it was like this here in Italy,too
Tactical 690R That’s very nice.
I was that age. Got this cool rifle. And over 20 years later. I cherish it STILL.
My Son did
The Ruger BX 25 mags are the best period . They also came out with a BX 15 mag , same quality just 10 rounds less.
Hickok45 For PRESIDENT !!!
they do
I'm waiting for a BX-150 not a 15, lol.
I want a BX-45 :p
So we can hear Hickok45 say:
"Hickok45, with a RUGERRRR TEN TWENTY TWO, hehe, AND A BX-45. Let's take some shots!"
I probably need to clean mine, but mine jams frequently. The first 5 to 10 rounds have problems.
I have an eagle 30 round mag ,it has plastic feed lips so probably won’t last long ,iv read they are awful but mine never fouls up ,hi from the UK
I purchased my 10-22 Ruger in 1974 from a service buddy. At the time I was very into rifles, but had no idea that through the years it would be come the most accessorizable rimfire out there. I have put many mods in mine, and love the balance and accuracy of the rifle. The Ruger is not quite as nicely balanced as the Browning SR-22, but even now, cost a hole lot less. The BX magazines, I find, shoot much better than all those after market brands. Love your videos, please keep them coming. Thanks.
i'm 52 today! got up early to watch my channels ,so thanks! i've had 6 or 7 10/22's and at the present have 4 all different and all well used! the others were givin' away to close friends and family and now i'm lookin' at the new ones! thanks again for the hard work we all appreciate it!
I've had my Ruger 10/22 Target since I was 14, owned it for 14 years, probably shot 10,000 rounds through it. Such a great, accurate, CHEAP (ammo) gun to shoot for endless hours. Might be the smallest caliber on the rifle line, but I always have people checking it out at the range asking if they should get one.
I’ve had a love hate relationship with the Ruger 10/22 but they have stood the test of time. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.
"Don't see many metal coffee cans these days, hate to shoot em up." That made me laugh
I do so appreciate every video you post. Not to mention I value your opinion greatly, no muss no fluff just downright educational and informative on each firearm you evaluate. You have had a great impact on my gun safe and made me an informed and well-educated firearm owner, I Thank You, Sir. Peace.
Hickok45 is an enjoyable character to watch and be around, the 10/22 is an enjoyable gun. All around an enjoyable video
I one to try dis
Was my first gun. Bought the stainless one 20 some years ago. Most reliable
.22 ive ever owned. Watching u put almost 200 rounds through it before a malfunction is a true reminder of that, i dont fire nearly enough .22.
Been since 2012 doing a 22LR video, especially with the Ruger 10/22. I have the take down model and absolutely love it.
Thanks for all you do partner
God Bless us all
My first gun was a ruger 1022,my parents got it for me on my 16th birthday, almost 40 years and still a great platform and with all the customization available the sky is the limit, I own 4 of them now that should tell the love I have for this platform.
Owned a 10/22 for many years, had lots of fun with it. My favorite of them all is my Marlin model 25 bolt action, 1976 or so vintage with the micro bore. Very accurate and extremely reliable regardless of the ammo.

Santa brought me this gun , my first , Christmas 1967
damn fine american familty, much love from canada.
You bet me. I got mine Christmas of 1975. Still the best Christmas present I ever received.
Santa not real
@@xprochipx8591 Santa is American !!
No Quarter Compound got mine Christmas 83
still love shooting it.
I actually use Hickok's videos to know if a gun is comfortable. It's nice to have someone the same height and build review guns. Love this guy
There are many positive qualities for having your Ruger 10/22 with a larger capacity magazine for general home defense. Dependable high capacity close in hit power. Mine is ready over the fireplace.
Glad I’m not the only one. I would rather fire 25 accurate 22 LR rounds than 10 9 mm rounds where only one or two connect. In a high stress, random situation, you generally don’t have time to aim too well. Which is where the 22s come in. You can hip fire a 22 and still hit somebody pretty squarely. So many people think that 22 LR is horrible for self-defense. I actually think it’s a great weapon to have for self defense. It may take a few bullets to stop somebody, but you pretty much know that those bullets are always going to hit. I’ll take accuracy over ammunition size any day.
And, if the situation requires it… I have my Mosburg 224 Olympic AR not too far away.
Agreed. Great home defense weapon
People will try to tell you that 22 is not a great home defense weapon but you'll know if you get hit. These rifles with the higher-capacity magazines you can definitely let somebody know they're in the wrong house plus they're good for rats, squirrels, rabbits any varmint really
@@jimduffy3285very lethal 👍🇦🇺
Fired mine at an old ammo can 60yards across the garden . Left holes as big as your thumb nail right through it . Don't tell me that isn't gonna hurt in a human body ( God Forbid)
Excellent demonstration of the ruger 10-22; good video with humor and instruction.
I've owned a 10-22 since I was 18. Bought 5 more over the years.. Love that 22...
Mr. Hickok, is an Awesome Man, I really enjoy watching His Programs!!!
He’s really Knowledgeable Of Firearms, Also the Way He Goes About Explaining what He’s Doing I think anyone Regardless of how Knowledgeable of Firearms Couldn’t Understand what He’s talking about!
He’s Really A Good All-around Marksman, Even Though He May Miss A Few, Soon As He Learns His Sights He Begins Hitting His targets!!!
I wish Everyone could Have there own Shooting Range, that would be Out Standing!!!
Take Care, Mr. Hickok, & Keep On Producing Such An Enjoyable Program!!!!
Glad I came across this in 2022, about 10 years later. Been watching Hickock45 for many years, but I somehow missed this one. Love the 1022. Also my fave ammo is CCI, mostly mini mags. They run in anything. Started out with Marlin 60, then Remington Viper, then Ruger Charger 22.
The Remington 552 will fire shorts,longs and long rifle reliably. I have enjoyed your videos for years. Thankyou sir!
My first solo firearm purchase was a Ruger 10/22. I walked into the local Kmart, put down $66.00 in hard earned cash and left with gun and ammo in hand. I was 16 years old at the time, no parental authorization or supervision required. That same rifle hung in the rear window of my P/U truck for many years. Even while parked in my High School’s parking lot. This was a common scene in the 1970’s.
I'm 55yrs old bought a used 10/22 in 84 from a buddy. I could literally hit nail heads with that rifle. Hate to admit that I had only stripped it ALL the way down 1 time to clean it. It has never ever failed me! Shot thousands upon thousands of rounds through it and like a Timex watch. It just keeps on ticking! Never had a jamb either. Ruger nailed it with this lil rifle!
A little trouble with this one to start. We'll, something tells me you can handle it. As always, watching you shoot is a pleasure. Thanks way up for you and your son. You guys make me happy.
Got over 20k rounds through my 10/22 and dtill going strong
one of the most fun videos to watch.
You had me grinning ear to ear while you were shining up the big gong...then again on the little red gong too.
And that coffee can twirling around has me reminiscing of my boyhood with a Daisy.
I’ve owned a couple of Ruger 10/22’s growing up. Great gun & always fun to shoot. I always used the medal lip magazines & never had an issue. The plastic lipped mags always had feeding problems. I never used lead heads only copper jacketed bullets mostly CCI. Everyone at some point should own a Ruger 22 just for the fun. Over the years I’ve collected other 22’s that are also fun & great guns. Enjoy all of his videos & his sense of humor. Enjoy shooting & be safe.
You did a great job explaining the value of the 10/22. Thanks!
LOVE my 10/22's! Wish I had a place half as nice to plink with it. You definitely get accustomed to working the bolt release quickly with some experience.
I've been told by a lot of old gunnies that if you want to leave a .22LR magazine loaded up all time, make sure it's a Ruger factory magazine. I love my 10-22s. Don't get out shooting anymore as I'm disabled and live in pain. Still love watching Hickok 45
Got one from my Godfather for my 15th birthday 32 years ago. Still have and love that rifle, TONS of great memories! Now my teenagers shoot it.
I love my 10/22. 😍 I had a Mini-14, and honestly, I preferred the .22.
my first rifle. Love that thing and I think ANY shooter, beginner or expert should pick one up. Cheap fun and foolproof. Thanks for the great video hickock!
My 10/22 was bought back in the mid 70's. It has only malfunctioned one time since I bought it new. That was back in 82. I remember the day well because I was checking it out before going squirrel hunting the following day after I had been released from the hospital due to a workplace injury. From that day on, I have used nothing but CCI Mini Mag hollow points and never had another malfunction. It's extremely dependable and accurate to this day. I bought another one about 6 yrs. ago. It's a take down and I added a Magpul X22 Backpacker stock. It's never had anything other than CCI stingers through it and never had a malfunction. My only complaint is with the magazine release on the newer take down. It's not hard to accidentally bump it and drop your magazine.
The Remington 550-1 is the only semiauto 22 that I know that can reliably shoot 22 short, long & long rifle. The 10/22 is an iconic 22 that everyone should have in their collection. Thanx for the video Hitchcock 😀
When he is shooting the gong you can see the bullets .
My first gun i bought was a ruger 10/22 when i was 18. At 39 i still have the gun and enjoy shooting it. It's a great, and fun gun.
My first rifle. I bought it used 30 years ago. Still have it; still shoot it. Very accurate and reliable. Pick decent ammo. Keep your mags clean. You won't be disappointed.
Here I am years later watching this same video. Thank you sir for all your videos. God bless
Always admired the classic 10 shot 10-22 mag.
10-22 is my prefered choice. Really good out of the box and easily customized to be better.
I like the flush mag and many don't so I've picked up a bunch of them cheap.
I've always said there is something wonderful about putting shots in a dime size target every time.Those are extremely acurate and fun guns!!! I love love love my ruger
Had my Ruger 10/22 for 35 years plus. Love it
I had one for many years and I absolutely loved it what a wonderful fun gun
This was the second firearm I bought, 9 firearms later still my favorite☝️
What s your 2nd favorite
First rifle I ever shot was a 10/22 that had been my Grandpa's. Put a lot of rounds through it in my teens but it's long gone. So when I got back into shooting this year I had to have a 10/22. But I was disappointed that so much is now plastic. So I bought a vintage (1975) model that still had the metal butt plate, barrel band and trigger guard. Then customized the heck out of the new one. Red and black laminate stock, 20" fluted bull barrel, red anodized bits all over the place. Still ❤️ shooting them.
Bought mine second hand . Got in touch with Ruger and it turns out it is a 1964 model . And yes its metal not the newer plastic designs.
Two 22s since I was 12 years old .Winchester 190 and the classic ruger 10-22.great little hunting rifles,iam 47 now and still use them
Hearing Hickok say "trolls" at 16:22 just made my day
this is a man of culture... and class
if everyone walked around with a lil non-offensive 10/22 on their shoulder there would be no crime in America.
My brother's and I learned to shoot an old single shot 22 when we were kids,....later as an adult I bought a Marlin semi auto 22 and still have it today...great little gun!!
Started with a Montgomery/Wards bolt action rifle.
Technically a Mossberg bolt action 22.
It shot 22 shorts,22longs,& good old 22long rifle.
This was my first rifle.
Purchased new in 1970.
For $18.95 + tax = $24.89.
Bought a 10/22 a few years later.
I customized it with Volquartsen trigger and Extractor parts.
It shoots great,never jambs.
you really know your stuff!Anytime I need to learn something about any firearm I just tune into your channel.THANKS
I've had mine...a Sporterised in 1970 for 60$. Still love it! 🇺🇸⚓
I grew up with a marlin lever action that my dad bought when he was in high school... he’s 73. And a marlin pump. I really liked the lever gun
Just bought a 10 22 today and it's a fun little gun!!. God bless and stay locked and loaded!!
Honestly out of all my badass guns I think the 10/22 is the go-to for combat, stealth, survival, weight, and accuracy. 10/22 behind every blade of grass in america.
No rabbit safe!
The blade of grass reference is cool.
10/22 IS WHAT MY DAD BOUGHT ME WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD I LEARNED HOW TO SHOOT WITH IT GREAT LIL GUN
I always use Yellow Jackets for my 10/22 when I'm squirrel hunting. Love 'em.
My first .22 rifle and still my favorite after all these years..
Bar none my favorite gun !!!! All American fun gun !!!! Ive had mine for 30+ yrs still fires like it was new just the best dam 22 made !!!
That gun cycles flawlessly. Go Ruger 10-22
Only 20 years old and I got one. Second rifle I ever purchased. First was a ruger AR-556 and then the 10/22. Awesome rifles that have yet to malfunction on me
Yeah I'd be careful I've only seen one guy load a bunch of different rounds into a single mag and they all fired safely. Matt is a true work of wonder.
Great vid. I love the gong ending. Awesome job to you both.
best 22 ever made you cannot go wrong buying a Ruger 10/22
Wow have been watching your channel since I was 13 I turn 25 next month , love the channel and my kids also love this channel
California salutes you!!
Was my first gun, grandfather bought it for my 12th bday 🥲 he put a gong up in the barn for me (about 75 yards) and I could have a blast whenever I wanted. I love you pop!!!
my first rifle i had ever gotten was when i was 11, me and my father built a ruger 10/22 together about 4 years ago now, as of now, it has a bx trigger in it, a vortex diamondback scope, and a volquartsen carbon fiber barrel on it, very accurate and reliable, all in all cost around $900 total.
13:34 this is basically rifle ASMR 😊
Just got mine yesterday, it's an awesome gun ! Got .22lr cci's they are also great
I love my Bergara BXR, essentially a Ruger 10/22 clone. Setting mine up for a home defense/varmint rifle. Urban environment, reduced over penetration purposes. Rocking a 25 round magazine, and CCI Velocitors.
My Remington 550-1autoloader will shoot shorts, longs, and long rifle all day long either individually or mixed up. Very accurate rifle and actually shot a bad man in the lung in 1976. He lived but he was cut open like a fish to get the fragments out of his chest.
Ruger 10/22 yes I had one of those in the 70s and 80s before the Australian gun buy back. Miss that gun, fond memories of walking in the bush with an Uncle..still hopeful in the future our govt will allow the public to again buy firearms..only had the 10 shot mag though. Enjoyed the video thanks
Doesn't the government work for you? Could be wrong but if you can get enough of your fellow countrymen and women together, you can get it changed. Hope it does change for you in the future.
Yes thats right they do work for us, yes there is a gun lobby here in Australia. The laws are passed by a few that effect many I think its about control and power, both of which in the wrong hands (those passing the laws) with the right motive protecting the public dont understand the public need the right and the ability to protect themselves and the freedom to flourish. Thanks for the reply Frank..I enjoy the videos..kind regards to you and yours.
Not easy to get a 10-22, but there are about 1 million firearm owners in Australia. It's not like firearms are flat out banned Eric. I have 2 and another on the way.
Just reading a magazine capacity greater than 10 ok I might ask some questions this gets confusing
Laws are Strict in Austrailia...wow!
Soy aficionado a las armas y ya que no las tengo me conformo con verlas en estos videos, sobre todo los calibres 22, en armas deportivas.
Really like your sense of humor. As usual - great review.
My first firearm, new in 1985. Still have it and works flawlessly. Eats everything. I modified the bolt release which is really easy and that's it
Hickok: I think I heard it hitting it..
Me: I don’t think I heard it miss it 🤣🤣🤣
I love my Ruger 10/22. I chose the one that came with the factory lasermax laser, it works great, and is one of my favorite .22s.
I have the same rifle. I bought it gosh, 6ish years ago and the batteries were dead today. I have never used the laser...
Fun to watch, been waiting for a video that featured a 10/22 with the 25 rd mag. Thank you
My first .22 Western Auto my first 10/22 mid 80's, I've got 5 of them now. A little twiking nothing better.
.22 is a decent defensive weapon especially the rugar 10/22. Women and kids can be taught to effectively use it. It’s light and accurate..
Good ole western auto, still have one in my hometown in Mississippi. Where I got my first firearm and bike lol
What's the name of your hometown? I wanna move there.
Thank you for all of your awesome videos Mr Hickok , you truly are a great shooter 👍.
...my dad gave me a Marlin 81c on the night I graduated from 8th grade in June, 1963 - 61 years ago - What year 1963 turned out to be!!! That little rifle used all .22 rounds - S/L/LR...
