Update...

Fun day at the range! The Tech Sights on the Target 10/22 worked great...butt ugly, but great shooters...I'll take a pix tomorrow. The handguns ran like tops. Mostly I was sorting ammo. My Tac-Sol wants Federal Gold Medal; my Sweetie's 1911 liked the Fed Champions. The rifles liked the Federals and the Wolf Target, but man, the Wolf stuff is FILTHY! CCI Green Tag was accurate in the rifles, but underpowered. It gave me a shotgun pattern in my 22/45.

My Sweetie's out-of-the-box el cheapo 10/22 tanked after 20 or so rounds. The bolt locked back and stayed there...it's still locked back. Not that big a deal since I'm waiting for a Volquartsen trigger group to arrive from Mr. Potterfield, but still...I'll mention it to Ruger tomorrow.

The tuna a la Bobby Flay came out great. Essentially I made a dry rub with 3 different chili powders, brown sugar, cumin, fennel, salt & pepper, rubbed it into one side of the tuna steaks, then blackened the tuna steaks in a cast iron skillet. Smokey but yummy! Side dish of saffron rice and red beans, also from Flay's Mesa Grill cookbook. I was thinking of a rose wine, but opted for Stone IPA instead...right choice!

Oh yeah, and an avocado vinegarette for the fish...

Re: 10/22 lockup. Sounds suspiciously like what happened to my new Ruger. The ejector had somehow come out of its slot in the left front of the trigger group. Once back in the slot, it ran like a top.

I love my tech sights. I am really happy I put them on my 10/22. I've gotten my money out of them and then some. I have the entry level TSR100 set.

I did make one change. I took out the A1 aperture with the two small holes and went to an A2 model. That way I have the large and small aperture. With that, I have a lot of fun at the local steel matches, as the larger aperture is a help on the fast stuff. I got the part cheap at a gun show but it took a little patience and finesse to take out the pin and swap the parts.
