The reciever scope mount screws on my ruger 10-22 stripped out.Should i try to get the 10-22 drilled and tapped or buy a Mossberg 702 and scope it?Which would be cheaper?Ive been eyeing a Mossberg 702,so i may git the 702 and keep the 10-22 for a''back up''.Again,which would be cheaper?

drilling and re-tapping of the receiver screws will be much cheaper.

 

[squirrelsniper]

how much does it cost?

Your time and the cost of the appropriate drill bit and tap. Figure, an hour of time from set up to clean up and $25-30 if youi have to buy the tap and tap handle too.

I lkie the 10/22 and wouldnt swap it out for a new rifle unless I felt that urge.

Even if you had a gunsmith or machine shop drill and re-tap your gun it will be under $100. Unless you just have your heart set on the Mossberg I would stick with the Ruger. Cant beat a good ol 10/22

Or you could run the next size tap down the stripped holes and buy four new screws. I did this at a mom & pop hardware store in town, I took the receiver in and they loaned me the tap! With the screws I was out $2.

I would NEVER replace my 10/22 unless it was with another 10/22
