RE: Good 22. rifles
Look at the Marlin model 60. You can get it in Stainless and Synthetic. It' s tough to beat and I' d put it up against any 10/22. Plus, you get 15 shots with it' s tube magazine vs. 10 with the magazine fed 10/22 (unless you pay the big bucks for high capacity magazines). I' ve had both rifles. The Marlin 60 is still shooting quarter size groups with 15 shots after 3 years of shooting. The Ruger 10/22 Target was sold after the first 5 months. (3 of those 5 spent back at the factory fixing the stinkin' trigger).
