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.
