I have a Ruger 10/22 I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. At 50 yards it's pretty much dead on. Pretty darn accurate. I've never tried it on paper at 100 yards to see how it would do. I originally bought the 10/22 and just bought the Carabine model instead of the anniversary edition I was looking at at the time which had a longer stainless steel barrel and a stainless trigger. My plans were to change the barrel and put a bull barrel on this one. However, it shoots soo great I haven't found a need to change barrels. I'm not found of how short the barrel is but that would be great for kids and it works great just makes the gun look short. There is a ton of aftermarket support for it as well.

IMO one of the better .22's on the market today. I've got a Simmons Deerfield 3x9x32mm scope on it which isn't the best scope out there I'm sure but it works just fine for everything I do. I've had mine for about 4 years probably. I got the 10/22 and the scope new at the same time.

The only problem I've had is the first magazine it came with didn't seem to want to feed the bullets right. I called Ruger about it and they sent me a new one and it works great. It jams everyonce in a while with my Butler Creek magazine that holds 25 but I think it's the magazine as it's not the best fitting magazine. The stock one seems a lot better but only holds 10 rounds. It's jammed before but I don't think it has all that much with the factory magazine. Overall it does pretty well and is very accurate. I really like it.
