IMNSHO the 50th anniv model 10/22 is quite ghey.
No, they aren't target guns, although folks can pimp 'em out to be such.
And some factory rigs do shoot better than others.
Jammomatics? I've had about a half dozen and burned a sheiteload of ammo in 'em. No probs unless I ran that gunky old Remington stuff. Clean it and back to buzzing away.
All of my 10/22's were pre 1990 though.
Heard some of the new stuff has had problems.
I know the guy that bought my '67 new shot it quite a bit. It runs great with CCI mini mag or WW SuperX. Dropped a Volq hammer in it and it's halfway decent now.
Lose the wind and will try to see which ammo it likes better. CCI last time I zeroed it, was good enough to kill pineys. And they are fast! Leafy area, a semi auto can be just the ticket to smoke a mover before he goes into a hole.
Yeah my Anschutz 141 was a cool little sporter, so was my 541T HB........but that doesn't make the 10/22 sporter less cool.
Factory checkered makes it way cool IMHO.
I have a 513T barrel made into a Contender bbl.........that too is neat.
Stuff you don't see every day.
I really don't give a flip if my bullet hits the squirrels eye perfectly or around the edges.
Sometimes there is "good enough".
And sometimes one has to just go out and shoot, have fun.
Think a few have forgotten that.
