Some years back I bought the "Walmart Special 10-22 Rifle" version, SS barrel, silver receiver, and birch rifle-style stock instead of the carbine style. Fits my over-sized Silverback frame better.
I spraypainted the trigger guard and buttplate silver, and added silver finish rings and scope, and stripped & refinished the stock to a golden oak color - she's a blonde now! That factory Ruger stock finish is gross! I literally could see NO woodgrain in it!
Besides the refinish, I honed the trigger and sear a bit, and did the 'pentel spring' trick - trigger pull is much better now! Otherwise it's still in stock form - no accessorizing. I use it to compare my older twentytwo rifles against - and they usually out shoot the 10-22!
