Well you have some option's... how about a .22 kit like a Ceiner or the M261 for your AR? they tend to run fairly well, 30 rd mag's are fairly cheap, your kid's and yourself can get AR trigger time at plinking prices.
If you want a 10/22 for the kids and yourself(don't lie  ) then stick with a BONE STOCK 10/22 for now... they make a youth model IIRC with a shorter length of pull... or do like I did and chop down the standard stock to fit your're kid's. Spend the $ you save by not buying a trick barrel, stock ect. on LOT's of mag's and ammo. You can alway's dress it up later. FORGET the .17!!! not that it's a bad round its just far to expensive for plinking IMHO.John |

go here the only site for rimfires
http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/ look here first. also look at the marlin, mossberg, remmy, winchester, and cz threads, before deciding on a ruger. I have one that would be considered superstock, which is, looks very origional, but has upgraded internals, to throw everyone off, on how well it shoots, and it's reliability. Most 10.22's out of the box, are not that accurate, or reliable. If you want to dump a bunch of money into a rifle, then a 10.22 is perfect. Also , if they are going to shoot 500 rounds a piece, dont' get a 17, that ammo is as expensive or more, than 223. get a 17mach 2, or 22lr. heck , some decent match grade 22 ammo , is as expensive as 17mach 2, and the mach 2 is funner faster, more accurate, and shoots like a laser , out to 150 yds. I am pretty much totally obsessed with the mach 2 rounds and rifles right now. |

I will have to respectfully disagree with maccabbee concerning accuracy and reliability. IMO most 10/22s are reliable and accurate out of the box. In fact, a stock 10/22 is more accurate than most people can shoot them. A decent scope will wring out that accuracy more than anything else.
Are there better 22 rifles out there? Yes, it depends on how much you want to spend. Are there more versitile 22 rifles out there? NO! |

MACCABBEE... your crazy... Your seriously the 1st person I have ever heard say negative things about 10/22's....
I must say your full of SHIT... I don't get mine untill tommorow but I have been shooting my father's for years... and they are extremely accurate out of the box and it has never jammed ever... No other gun has the track record the 10/22 has... so stop letting your opinion confuse you with facts... because nothing you said was fact... and your opinion sucks... Probably more accurate out of the box with Federal value pack .22LR then your capable of shooting... seriously... |

get them each a 10/22...leave it stock except for maybe some scopes.....for birthdays and xmas you can get them upgrades as presents.....make them do the upgrades themselves with you sitting next to them....this lets them learn the firearm better. you can get into 2 10/22s for $500 or less, this way they both have there own gun to customize over time.......
I think the 10/22 is a great rifle for the price and fairly accurate.....and it has alot of room to grow....a bolt gun could give you a little better accuracy out of the box, but most of the ones out there do not have as many after market items for them as the 10/22 rifle, which is half to fun of owning a 10/22......you will spend hours surfing with your kids looking at different parts and accessories for there rifles. Buy bulk ammo from walmart to begin with....if you want to do better ammo, wolf match ammo is not to badly priced and it is really good ammo. |

I have found the 10/22 to be the most realiable rifle I ever owned.
