ROFLMAO Red. If you would of bought a good 10/22 in just the standard model you would be ahead of the game right now. I bought a rail mount scope base and a set of Cabela's rings for a highpower rifle to go on it. I gaurentee that it will never move. Now if the action quits working I'm just going to send it to Ruger and tell them to make it work. Biggest bitch I have about Rugers right now is that they don't make the 10/22 in .17 MKII so I could buy an extra breach bolt for mine and switch it back and forth.

bill, i think there are aftermarket parts out there for you to do what you're talking about. i'm not sure though but i thought i picked up that sort of comments on the rimfirecentral site. but then again i am 10/22 illiterate.

Turkey this far north has always been somewhat of an enigma to me. I've seen them by the side of the road several times while on my way to the range. They must have been stocked at one time. No one much seems to bother with them. I've never thought of them as a hardy bird, but they must be to survive the winters near Ottawa. Any experienced turkey hunters here know anything about their survival rates in cold climates? Best wishes.

We have both Merrian and Eastern Turkeys here. They take -30/-40 weather as well as any other critter. I can't say that our winters in Northern Nebraska slows them down at all.

My guess would be they spend much more time up in the trees when snow is on the ground (so long as it isn't windy). Other than that, they are probably in the deep woods laying on a sunny hillside. Rarely do I kick them up in the fields during winter.

They hit the feilds and eat left over corn/beans/ect. At least twice a day. Than they lay around in the trees. They dig right thur the snow for food. Nothing really seems to slow them down.

Edit -
I don't see them in the grown up field / brush like I do during the rest of the year.

Cal, turkeys have expanded on their own into the St Lawrence river valley, on the southern side (NY State)-right across the river from you. They were never stocked there, but they now exist in a sustainable enough population to open the area to turkey hunting. I suspect in the winter you might see them in fields, where the snow has a chance to be blown off by the wind enough for them to walk around. I've often wondered myself how they get thru the winter in deep snow areas.
