the only thing that i didnt like about my brothers 10/22 is that the bolt doesnt hold open on the last shot. i have a remmington viper that is no longer made. although it went back to the factory once it has been great the last thousand rounds or so. also bought one of those henry lever guns that jammed a bit also till it got repaired. the model 60 i had needed replacement parts soon after i bought it. if i had a choice to just buy one gun i think it would be a bolt 22. a little slow but probably more stabil.
