picking up a .22lr trying to choose?

X2 Volquartsen  10 22

  I like the 10/22. The only other firearm I can think of that is more customizable is a 1911. You can go basic wood, synthetic, of composite...  Drop in parts, match grade drop ins , or even custom made parts are available.   Barrels come in all weights, lengths, and profiles that you could come up with.

  Today's 10/22 is a bit better than ones coming out 15 or more years ago, they've tightened up the quality on the production line, although still not to the liking of a lot of folks. Ruger has admitted the trigger sucks, but instead of fixing it they sell their own add on trigger set. I's still go Volquartsen or another brand.

A Ruger American us pretty much what you get when you buy it, once in your hands you are stuck with few options so you better really love it.

 So remember, it's a plinking gun you want to have fun with. Have fun with whichever choice you make.

  BTW, my plinker is a complete gun from Volquartsen keeping things inside a dime at 75 yds., one I will never get rid of.

I also have a cz and a 10/22.  I'd sell the cz before the 10/22, I find I use/ hunt more with he ruger.  The cz is more accurate, but not by much.  The 10/22 has a multiplier effect which is plain awesome on sage rats or steel targets.
