After having had a few stock 10/22's, including a target model, I prefer my Marlins honestly. Now, if you want to tinker and accurize (& spend $), the 10/22 is the way to go. But stock, my Marlins definitely outshoot my 10/22's.
I think the Marlin 795 barrel shoots better than the typical factory 10/22 carbine. A little heavier profile too. But the trigger sucks and not much aftermarket support.
