I've had a 10-22 since '90 and a 77/22 Allweather since '92 or '93,not sure which.The 10-22 is still like new. I took the scope off of it a few years ago it hasn't been fired in maybe 5 years.The 77 is one he!! for stout action for a little 22 rimfire.And you'd be surprised at how fast that little short bolt can be worked.I floated the barrel,cut a coil off of the trigger spring and installed an adjustable trigger overtravel screw in the reciever.It shoots 5/8" groups at 50 yards with Super-X hollow points and a Redfield 2-7 compact scope.Good enough for me and the gophers I hang around with.My 10-22 never shot that well at all,and it's a short,light little thing that never turned me on.The 77 is lot more rifle, but a lot more money too.
