[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1144371, member: 4235"] Coming from the owner of two Ruger 10/22s, who uses them as marksmanship training rifles, get a Remington 597 or a Marlin 795. Stay away from the Ruger, especially a brand new one. They have the absolute worst factory triggers imaginable... I would guess around 20# based on the last one I bought. They also now have a cheapo plastic trigger and housing instead of a metal one, plus a really annoying bolt hold-open feature. and they are over $200, whereas you can get a Remington 597 for around the $130 range or a Marlin 795 for right around a hundred bucks with factory rebates. Either one is more accurate than a 10/22 and has a much better trigger. So unless you like paying a higher price plus having to spend more time and/or money doing trigger work, stick with the Marlin or the Remington. FYI, the Marlin 795 is a TINY little rifle. Not that it has too short of a stock or anything, but it weighs absolutely nothing and has a very narrow pistol grip and handguard. It feels like a toy or something. That may be a plus to you, it may not. The Remington 597 feels more like a real rifle... I think they use the same style stock that is on the Model 700. [/QUOTE]
