Ruger 10/22 takedown hogue overmold - Hogue Ruger 10/22 Thumbhole OverMold Stock Only

I purchased a Ruger 10/22 Takedown and an AR style picatinny rail optic mount along with a 2.5 X 7 riflescope. With the factory Ruger stock, I had to look up over the rail to locate the reticle of the scope. I learned of Hogue stock and made the purchase based on other reviews. The stock fit perfectly but did have a little barrel wobble in the forend probably due to not having the ring. I placed a small stick on rubber cushion in the forend and the problem was solved. As for the eye relief and locating the reticle on the optic, problem solved! Each time I bring the rifle up, the scope is spot on.

There were comments about the "stickiness" of the rubber buttstock while putting everything back in the factory bag. I solved this problem with a thin piece of cardboard the approximate width of the bag opening where the buttstock goes in. I simply slide out the cardboard, place the buttstock on it and slide the combination back in.

This is a well made product and a positive upgrade for any Ruger 10/22 Takedown owner who uses optics. As others have stated, the factory iron sights are not usable with this stock installed.
