Agreed 100% QB ! But ... 'the finest 22 ever made' ?? Nope. Not even close.
Both my out of the box Marlin 60's will easily outshoot any out of the box 10-22. Are there a million accessories for a 10-22 ... yup, and that's great. Are they reliable and fun guns .... yup. Do they need a fair amount of work to make them shoot well ... yup. By the time you invest enough money to make an out of box 10-22 shoot really well, you have a whole lot of money invested in it. You could have spent that same money on a different gun, and it would still shoot better.
I really like the 10-22, I've owned several over the years ... but it is what it is, and it aint exactly a tack driver ... anyone who's ever owned 10-22's would have to admit that ... if they're honest.

I meant the finest design, no it's not the most accurate .22 in the world. There is a reason why there is a million accessories for them and that just about every gun owner has one. They flat out work. Do you do anything on this forum besides bash Ruger? It seems like someone who has close to five thousand post in a Ruger forum would actually be a fan of Ruger. Either that or you just don't have anything better to do???
