I have the SS version and it is very accurate with a lot of different ammo. I like to use it with Remington subsonic hollowpoints for squirrel. The rifle takes some getting use to due to it being so barrel heavy.
Find yourself a good used Ruger 10/22 and put a nice lightweight Tactical Solutions barrel on it, $149.00. You can also do a trigger job for under $30.00 too.
IMO heavy barreled .22's are great for prone or bipod type shooting. I wouldn't want to carry one around hunting.
PM and I'll try to walk you through this if you need help.
Mine will shoot MOA off a rest more often than not. The trigger is better and internals are smoother than the standard 10/22s that I have had experience with.
uh-oh, another one gonna get the 10/22 fever. they are cheap enough to buy a used one and do the modifying yourself. but, the heck of it is you never finish because there is a multitude of aftermarket parts out there. i've built several and they are actually fun to mess with.....daryll
Love mine. Propably had it 10 years. Shoots nice tight groups. I only added a sling and a 3-9X scope. Have shot praire dogs with it to 125 yards and used it to get my Appleseed Rifleman patch.
I would buy another one if I could find one for $300.
I am going to try a thumbhole stock this year that I have. It has always shot good right out of the box.
PS> Forgot to add, check out RFC Home for some GREAT info on 10/22's and all things rimfire. It is an addition though, you can never have too many 10/22's!
paperboy, I would buy one at that price if I were you, and pass the location of that shop on to help out some of your fellow INGO'ers. I have had one for over 10yrs, very happy with it.
