Looking at buying a 10-22 pros cons anybody?

[BigDaddy]

I have had a marlin 60 in stainless, had a single shot savage. 22 any input would be appreciated

Id stick with the 60. One of the if not THE most accurate shooting .22's straight out of the box.

Or better yet, buy yourself one of them fancy 10-22's and I will take the 60 of your hands I always have room for one more!!

I agree my marlin model 60 was dead on out of the box, If you like buying "EXCESSories" then get the 10/22

My 10/22 was great, as long as I used the 10 round factory mag it was very reliable. For me, the bolt hold open was awkward, mag changes were awkward and if I tried high cap mags, it wouldnt run reliably.

I can't say enough good things about an AR with a .22lr upper. I am of the opinion that they are the only way to go as far as semi auto high cap .22 rifles go.

I had a mossberg ar type. 22 I was just curious about the 10-22 seems to be a benchmark gun

I've had 10-22's forever I don't shoot high capacity mags, all of mine have scopes and are stock, the other two are well built target guns with match barrels and custom stocks. I love the platform and it is a staple of the 22LR...

Cannot have to many of them 22's and it don't matter who makes them, they are all good:fencing:

I have a 10/22 I bought new in 1969. I don't think I ever actually cleaned it other than blowing out the receiver with air and flooding with Rem Oil. Never failed.

I have a new 10/22 FS "Tactical" model. Tactical means black, no sights, scope rail, and standard 1/2-28 threaded barrel with flash supressor. I had a Tier 1 trigger job done by Brimstone Gunsmithing and added a 3x9x40 Nikon scope. It will shoot 1/2" at 50 yards with the right ammo.

I have 4 Ruger 25 round magazines that have never failed with any ammo that I have tried. Even the 500+ round value pack ammo feeds just fine. I think Ruger did have some quality control issues with the extended magazines a while back. A little dressing with a file would fix them.

The factory bolt lock is a real PITA. Five minutes with a dremel tool fixes it or most anywhere sells a replacement that works the same as the mod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY3BFyknLzo

Out of the box 10/22s almost always have a crappy trigger pull but it doesn't take much tweaking to make it right.

There is a ton of good info on rimfirecentral.com

Lots of trigger/action DIY parts and kits from https://www.volquartsen.com/tags/4-action-trigger-components,13-ruger-10-22 and many others.

If one likes "different", how about a $2000 .22 built on the 10/22 design.

Looks like something right up Stanley's alley.

i love my 10/22, i did all my own mods- bolt holdopen, trigger, hammer sear(i dont recomend doing this one if you are not famillar with it. it could become dangerous), polished the inside of the reciever,and rounded the bolt. overall its a good deal better. im very happy with it. its way more accurate than i am lol
