Rugers 10/22s are not particularly accurate in factory garb, especially in comparison to some of the match chambered bolt rifles out there (ala CZ). They lack match chambers - which makes for better feeding of a wide variety of ammo, at the detriment of accuracy. There is likely a model or two that are accurate, but your basic off the shelf sporter weight 10/22 isn't going to light matches at 50 yards. With some mods they can become wonderfully fun, but I've not been in the least bit impressed with the off shelf versions.
