Actually, while I'd like to keep a .22 LR in the stable I may jump ship over to .17 HMR. Been wanting a Savage 93R17 anyway.

Yeah, our Scheel's just got a bunch of them in stock. Maybe someday...right now I'd prefer a bolt action. Makes it easier to stretch out my ammo supply, especially since .17 HMR (while more available than .22 LR) is expensive for rimfire. |

They're pretty decent out of the box, I've had a few new stock rifles and never had any issues. If you want to upgrade any parts, I'd recommend Kidd.

They're good right out of the box. Trigger sucks. Buy a Power Custom hammer and sear for around $68 or the Ruger drop-in BX trigger for around $80 and you'll be glad you did. Videos on the Internet will fix you up on install.
OR you can drink the Volquartsen or Kidd kool-aid and spend over $200 on a trigger. I'm not saying they're not worth it. Ruger mags work great. Best place to buy magazines that I've found is CDNN. They regularly have the 10rd box mags on sale for $9.99 and the BX-25's usually run about $20 - $30 depending on sales. |

Some guys think the S&W 15/22 has made the Ruger 10/22 obsolete, and maybe they are right. At any rate, I have two 10/22s and they are nice rifles. One of mine serves as a suppressor host.

Make a decision now to either have a bone stock gun that shoot decent groups that you can plink with or a $1000 .22 that shoots dime size groups at the range. It seems like you cant have anything in between in the 10/22 world.

Have you looked at the Ruger American Rimfire? Bolt gun that takes Ruger 10/22 mags and has an adjustable trigger.

Out of the box 10/22's are often a lot more accurate than most folks think.

I've got the RAR compact threaded model and its quickly becoming my favorite .22 rifle. Slightly heavier barrel than the 10/22, free floated, brilliantly designed modular stock, and an excellent adjustable trigger. Mine will shoot ragged holes for groups with decent ammo and is crazy quiet with a suppressor. |

The last 10/22 I got looked like this...
It didn't take long before it looked like this.... 
I replaced every component one by one until I had a complete KIDD rifle  . What you should know about the 10/22? Customizing them is half the fun of owning one and they can get expensive and addicting. They can be very accurate with the right parts/work. The one above can easily hang with or outshoot most bolt actions and IMO is a lot more fun to shoot. I keep telling myself this is the last one I'll build and hopefully I can stick to it...yeah right

If you're a modding addict, just start out with an aftermarket receiver and building off of that........... That's where you're going to end up anyways, so no need to waste money buying a factory 10/22.

Why in the world didn't they do a 16" in the American?

Ruger offers two different models of the 10/22 with a 16" barrel and neither seems to sell very well. Even the 22" American Rimfire outsells the 18" compact and I don't know any good reason someone would want a 22" barreled .22LR. I would of preferred a 16" barrel attached but the 18" handles very nicely. |

I would like one in 16" with tech sights for sure. Threaded for a later suppressor purchase.
