As as been mentioned, I don' t know why you wouldn' t want a Ruger 10-22... best .22 LR for the money. But I have a Marlin Model 90 that has been a good rifle... accurate and never jammed yet. I keep it clean and use only high quality jacketed ammo and that helps the dependablility a lot.

One of the strongest points of the Ruger is how you can accessorize it.
