[QUOTE="Danny, post: 1137913, member: 11002"] Well, I agree with the "accessory options" part. However, I once had two .22 lr rifles. One was a Marlin 60, the other was a 10/22T (Target). The Marlin was a tack driver right out of the box. It would easily shoot 10 rounds inside a quarter at 50 yards. I had a cheap Simmons scope on it. Never had a malfunction of any kind. Used to shoot (and hit) spent shotgun shells from 50 and 100 yards with it. The Ruger, however, was a different animal. Trigger was horrible. And that's putting it lightly. If it wasn't a 10 pounder, I don't know what was. It was very difficult to shoot. I sent it back to Ruger, and six months later got it back. Trigger was better. But far from what you'd expect on a "target model" rifle. I had a Leupold Vari-X II scope on it, and that rifle still would not group, no matter what I did or what ammo I used. Now I realize there are thousands of 10/22s out there with no problems. But I'll never own another. I sold it to a kid that thought it looked cool. [/QUOTE]
