Looking at that cool Kidd build in Titan stock................maybe I shouldn't sell my lowly Ruger build.
Might even send the stinking bolt off to CPC.
Just picked this up.......
So what, 20 minutes for the parts to be installed?
You are gonna love it!
All it takes is the right amount of money...

The old Glenfield Marlins are not top dollar rifles. I’d bet you could find one for under $100 if you looked hard enough.
Just picked this up.......
I got my Picatinny rail installed yesterday for my Ruger 10/22, model 1132 Mannlicher carbine to help with having to scrunch my neck forward and to the right to see through the Nikon ProStaff 3-9 x 40 BDC scope.
It is not any longer than the one that came with the Ruger (don't know if it is a proprietary Ruger rail or a Weaver), but it was about 1/2 inch taller.
If this doesn't help enough, I guess I have to get taller rings, which I hear makes an issue when you change range distance.
I discovered that if I angled the rifle a bit counter-clockwise, then leveled up the crosshairs on the scope by twisting it clockwise in the rings, leveling them, I don't have to bend my neck so far to the right and combined with the little bit of rise, every little bit of tweaking hopefully will allow more pain-free range time for the neck.
The scope is still too far forward to get the full view in the glass since it was only moved back 1/2 inch on the rings, so I have to really push the neck to get the full glass picture.
I can try positioning the rings in a way that will allow 2 inches of moving the scope back toward my eye (if it will fit), but I am going to try to leave it alone before I take it all apart again (14 screws).
Range trip after work and will see if this set up is easier on the neck.
It will be fun sighting it in all over.
I only have a 50' range (16.6 yds.) at Post/Wash. but at Point Blank/Greenwood I'll have 75 feet (25 yds.) when I start going there again this summer.
I wish I could meet you there. I think adjusting your body position would be better than misalignment of the scope. If you rotate it off axis, your turret tracking will be off as well.
Check out this guy's positioning. He's straight up and down, erect and not tactical turtle style. The butt of the rifle is up high in the shoulder pocket. I think he's bladed away from the target too much though. Turning the head that far to the left can strain your neck.
I find it hard to find the center to center when my groups are one big ragged hole.
