Well if I had to buy one today it would be neither of those. Granted I have a 10/22 and love it, a great project gun. But if I wanted to buy a straight out of the box tack driver then the T/C Benchmark classic would be the gun....

I had the chance to do some shooting with the T/C Classic last year and fell in love. I really like the idea of the Benchmark, it has everything already, heavy barrel, fancy stock and good looks.
