If I were to buy a 10-22 I would get one with a target barrel. I have a standard model along with a couple of my buds and couldnt get anything to shoot with much accuracyout ofthem. I put on an after market barrel(Butler Creek) and it shoots pretty good now.

Thompson Center makes a nice 22 classic which shoots pretty good its an auto if thats what your looking for. For any kind of real accuracy you'll prob be better with a bolt action in a standard taper barrel.


If I were you I would look for a nice used one, there are a ton of used 22's out there so you should be able to find one you really like for not a whole lot of bucks.
