On the midway link - do you need to order one or two bases?
Order 2... I just saw it in the most helpful negative review.

I tried the weavers, but found the Talley lightweights are much nicer. To each his own though: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/IMG_0343_zpsnh9sk4gu.jpg)
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

So how are you guys liking the rifle?
I'm right on the edge of ordering mine, but my gun safe is really full and I may sell my ruger 10/22 to make a hole. I tend to shoot fast more than practice shooting when I use the 1022...

Hunts,
you are a man of few words, but spot on.
The ruger american is very similar to my ruger 77 tang safety so I figure its a good one to practice with.
I think my "self control" issues are that I can find reasons to buy new guns and not "love the one you're with"

I have a .22LR & a .17HMR in the Ruger American rifle. Either will outshoot my 10/22. The .17 HMR is more accurate, but the .22LR isn't far behind at closer ranges. And in my experience, I shoot a whole lot slower and waste less ammo with the bolt guns. I tend to take my time and concentrate on the shot.JMO

I love mine. And for good reasons:
1. Extremely accurate
2. Functions perfectly
3. Great trigger for a rimfire
4. Rotary (10-22) magazine
5. Handles and feels great in the hands...
6. Way cheaper than the 77/22, but just as good..

Funny, the local BiMart here in town, said people kept on asking them to carry them....
so they ordered in a bunch of them in June...
so far they haven't sold a one...
of course that might be due to the lack of ammo availability around here also...

You might be on to something Seafire...
I looked at one this weekend at a hardware store and the clerk said most people get the 1022... probably since its about $20 cheaper and the 1022 reputation.
But I ordered my american last night!
