I once had a T/C Classic, which was a nice .22 autoloader.
The way it was designed, the action accumulated too much powder residue to suit me. It went down the road.
The 10-22 is tops for a number of reasons. The fire control mechanism is isolated from the mag well and powder residue doesn't accumulate. There a number of ways the trigger can be perfected.
There are so many aftermarket options, one can create about any imaginable configuration.
The action is just about bullet proof and with a good barrel, they can be tack drivers.
The rotary mag is a Bill Ruger masterpiece as is the whole gun.
What's not to like.
Whatever .22 is second is a distant second, IMO.
