Man, I get down voted like crazy when I say I hated my 10/22. I don't know if I had a lemon or what. But I absolutely hated my 10/22. Bought it brand new years ago. Never really shot it. Got into .22s after a friend got a 10/22. Mine was a total jam-o-matic. I used many different loads, CCI mini mags ended up being the best, but still performed poorly. The mags we're awful, I replaced the extractor. Cleaned it, polished it. Tried everything everyone recommended. My friends is more reliable, but he also dumped the value of a whole 10/22 into after market upgrades.
me too. My 10/22's have all been overwhelmingly mediocre and characterless. They only really get okay when most (or all) of the 'ruger' bits have been replaced. And even then, theyre still pretty boring.
