I have a Ruger 77 that I have owned for a couple years. I had a Marlin last year that I sold to my brother. I didn't like the "chincy" feel of the gun. I am thinking about a semi automatic. Accuracy is important but not paramount to my purchase. I believe Ruger is making a semiauto "10/22" style. How good is this gun based on accuracy? Reliability? Jamming problems? How is the trigger pull? What about their lever gun?

If you want a semi auto .17 and you plan on never buying one again or only want one...

Is this a jazzed up Ruger? If I use it in the field and it sees rough use will it take some abuse? I took my Ruger 77 prairie dog shooting in June and shot 1400 rounds in a single outing. I am not interested in absolute bench accuracy though accuracy is important. The use this gun will see is some homestyle target shooting but occasionally it will see a lot of rounds shot quickly through it.

Are there any of these available used anywhere?
