I am no fan of tube mags, or detachables that stick out from the stock. They just irk the sheite out of me, as that's where I carry em.
Have had 3 or 4 standard 10/22s and 2 sporters, plus a deluxe sporter. The FG is the only one to have IMHO.
Ruger should have done a stainless version, w blakc synth stock for the 50 yr anniv. That said, the older standards and sporters shot better than the mid 80's and 90's other models I had. Never did experiment with bbl swaps to see why.
Only .22 rifle I regret selling is my Anschtuz 141. Thought about a H&K 270. But rather get a 300.
