Can a full custom clone really justify costing 16 times more than America's favorite budget rimfire?
Today, we are putting a bone-stock $200 Ruger 10-22 head-to-head against a $3,200 ultimate custom build to see if the performance matches the price tag.
We leveled the playing field by putting the exact same high-end Leupold Mark V optic on both rifles, and then pushed them through three brutal tests:
1) The 50-Yard Precision Test: Coke cans, marshmallows, and... a Tic-Tac.
2) The 100-Yard Barricade Challenge: Testing ergonomics and stability under movement.
3) The Ultra-Long Range Test: Pushing a .22LR from 50 yards all the way out to a ridiculous 375 yards.
The results at 375 yards completely shocked us!
Watch to find out if you should stick to the classic or start saving your pennies for a full custom rig!
