Really like mine!
I just wanted to sing praises of the 10/22. I took it out to shoot for the first time today. I shot roughly 500 rounds through it with no problems whatsoever.
Thank you Ruger for an excellent product!

Really like mine!
Bought mine in 1967 for $69.00, it has never failed me and has been a lot of fun.
Oh man my 10/22 has had tens of thousands of rounds put threw it. I love that thing, perfect plinking/small game gun. Tons of accessories for it too. My friend makes fun of me cause the scope on my 10/22 cost 3 times what the gun did, but shooting dimes at 50yards is loads of fun, as is poppin varmints at 100yards. First thing I would say to do to it is replace that bolt lock so it doesnt lock back when the magazine is empty, it actually makes a big difference when swappin mags on it.

"Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" as said by those incapable of its proper application and as such suffer from it a lot.
Wish I had a $1.00 for every one made!
Bet every young hunter had one since the late 60's.
Many brands of .22 have a coating to protect the brass. Take a box of shells and place them in a jar, pour some lighter fluid over them, swirl around, strain out rounds, lay them out to dry it won't take long. the same fluid can clean several boxes. I clean as many as I want to shoot at this range visit. I find there is less fowling. A few FTF's but I have those anyway and fewer FTE's. Works for me and I get to shoot more before I have fowling problems.

Love my 10/22.
I inherited it from from my grandfather years ago.
Hard to tell how many rounds have been thru it.
I mainly shoot winchester through it and have never had problems.
