I asked a while back which was better the Ruber 10/22 and the Remington 597. It was without a doubt the 10/22.

Well my fiance got me the Ruger 10/22 deluxe for Christmas. It has the 22'' stainless steel barrel, checkered stock and it shoots great. i had a contest with my dad and the 22 he's been shooting for 30 years and i tied him the forst time I shot it.

She is a great woman and I almost cried when she gave it to me.
