I've had pretty good luck with the centerfire versions of the Ruger American. But the 22 was a waste of my money. My 10-22 was more accurate and more reliable. I had to work the bolt quite aggressively to get mine to eject. Sold mine after a short time and replaced it with a Tikka T1x.

Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
