[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 1796762, member: 13337"] I always roll my eyes just a bit at the threads that start out,,, "What is the best/greatest/finest anything?" In terms of sheer numbers sold,,, It is probably the venerable Ruger 10/22. But if you are talking longevity there are several Marlin, Remington, Mossberg, etc, rifles that have lasted just as long,,, How many folk who claim incredible accuracy out of their 10/22's are shooting stock rifles? I'm not knocking the 10/22 at all,,, If I wanted a carbine length semi-auto,,, I would have a severely tricked out Ruger 10/22. But since I'm not all that into rapid-fire fun and games,,, I consider rifles like my CZ-452 Military Trainer or my Mossberg 340-KC to be "better" rifles. Either of those rifles have inherent accuracy far greater than any stock 10/22,,, One of them is approaching 45 years old and will still shoot extremely tight groups at distance. Now don't get me wrong,,, I own a couple of semi-auto 22 rifles,,, And I enjoy shooting them in a casual plinking arena,,, But when it comes to actually hitting something at a distance they aren't my first choice. The 10/22 is a great little .22 platform,,, I just can't bring myself to call it the greatest" .22 rifle. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
