Ground squirrels, rockchucks, raccoons, coyotes are the normal targets and have taken deer with one in the past.
10/22's are at their best when restock and rebarreled with bull barrels. I've done that to 6 of them and all have great accuracy with a couple shooting .5" groups out to 70 yards.
Recently bought a Marlin 60 for $165 and have also been very impressed with it for the money.
