I have killed many a tree rat and rabbit with a very early 10-22 that was fairly accurate and would digest any .22 cartridge I stuck in it, I also shot a KIDD 10-22 clone that was an absolute tack driver at 50 and 100, The 300 buck gun that has stirred such a chit storm does not bring pistol nor rifle to mind to me. To bring the feds into this bullshit will not do any of us shooters any good, just saying, not the way I roll, I dealt with them 20 years as a cropduster. very best
