UPDATE: finally got this rig to the range.
Assembling the Rifle
The rifle is the 10/22 Stainless Steel, dropped into a Hogue Overmolded Stock (Rubber) -- this is the best stock (for me) that I have found, as I prefer traditional rifle stocks over "tactical" stocks.

Incidentally, I did not find the TSR100 easy to adjust using just a .223 round as some claim is possible. I used the actual Tech Sight tool designed for this specific sight, and I recommend it. Here is the link to this tool and my review on Amazon:

At the Range:
Getting this whole rig to the range, I will admit to some trepidation. I have had zeroing sessions where the first rounds were completely off the target, making it a bear to get the darned thing onto the target so that one can start making intelligent click adjustments. I wanted to zero at 25 yards. Not to worry! My Tech Sights were slightly high and right (shooting from a sandbag) but not bad at all. After about 4 clicks to adjust POI to the left, and two clicks to slightly lower POI, I was satisfied with the groups:
Shooting Federal Blue Box Champion here, and since this was my lunch hour, I was plenty caffeinated, so any flyers are for sure the fault of the shooter. Naturally I will be practicing to improve this unimpressive performance. But I cannot fault the rifle!
Other comments.
My groups here are approaching what I can achieve with a Red Dot Sight, so I was relatively happy with the Tech Sight TSR100. Tech Sight makes a TSR200 model that allows some elevation adjustment at the rear sight. I had some remorse that I did not elect this sight for a few bucks extra, but in practice it turned out that I have no need of that. Elevation was almost dead-on from the initial shot, and it was very easy to adjust elevation using the front sight post in traditional GI fashion. So I suppose I saved a few bucks for some ammo, for when .22 ammo becomes available again.
The rifle itself functioned flawlessly. I have owned numerous 10/22s (and still do) and I have never had any function issues with any of them. When I read posts on this forum from guys whose 10/22s are experiencing problems, I can only scratch my head. The Volquartsen trigger makes shooting and getting back on target a dream.
