If there is a better looking 10/22 on the planet, I haven't seen it.
It would also look great with a small, straight tube scope such as a 2-1/2, 1-4, or similar. But there is really too much drop in Ruger factory stocks for scope use (unless one of the plastic stocks with replaceable butt stock modules.)
If I wanted to keep it iron sights and get the most from them, I'd put the tallest Lyman 17A on it with inserts from Lee Shaver Gunsmithing. In fact, this post caused me to source a 22" barrel for my iron sight 10/22 (that uses a Lyman 17A) in order to get more sight radius. I changed the barrel last night, so I haven't shot it yet. But the 22" barrel increases the sight radius 15% over the 18-1/2 barrel.
Again, gorgeous 10/22!
