I've not seen a factory 10/22 or 77/22 that will keep up in the accuracy department with my ULA. I've seen a couple 10/22s with match chambers that had failure to extract/eject issues.
Ruger 22s are some of my favorites when it comes to an all around 22. But there's a pile of different rifles out there that will outshoot them in factory garb.
The NULA is by no means "the answer" in 22 rifles. But the NULA appeals to me much more than the wood stocked/blued rifles to which it is often compared. When you have 10 minutes between shots it's easier to shoot nice groups...

The one I have shoots great but feeds fair. The biggest reason I got one was to have a 22 that felt like my ULA hunting rifle. It makes for cheap practice. Something doesn't add up here....:)

Every FTF problem I have had with the Anschutz's and Coopers has been ammo related. I have had some Remington ammo that would not chamber single shot. Never a magazine problem. Match chambers can be problematic in some instances. I now know what ammo to use and what not to use*. Most Anschutz owners know this. The Cooper chamber is a little more forgiving. But the Anschutz's will shoot better with a larger number of Brands and styles of ammo.
*Unless you get a bad lot.

Got a Browning T-Bolt that is a fine little rifle.
Quick follow ups for squirrels with the straight pull bolt, holds 10 rounds because it uses an unobtrusive double helix mag and is more accurate than I am in hunting situations.
Does very well from the bench too and has an adjustable trigger.
Too many good .22 rimfires out there to drop a bunch of extra coin on one that's unreliable.
Just my opinion.

maybe they have corrected the problem by now if they have had this many complaints over the years
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

I have had an Anschutz fail to feed. I had forgotten this and remembered as was reading the responses. Sometimes the round gets picked up and gets pushed sligtly above the top of the chamber. Ejecting has been the main problem. They spit them up and back into the action. Some bounce off the scope, others just fall back down due to anemic ejection force. I may still try a NULA 22lr one of these days. I feel somewhat bad starting this thread as I have never experienced the feeding problem first hand, just was curious about it. Also wanted to know how they shot,

I have a used Kimber of Oregon 22 (Model 82?). It failed to extract every few shots and the case had to be pried out with my pocket knife.
Yes, I made sure the chamber was clean. The solution discovered by the gunsmith was that the chamber was very tight. He opened it up with an ultra match reamer. No problems since.
Interestingly, as nice as the Kimber is, it does not outshoot my $60 Cooey Model 600 repeater.
BTW, in recent years, I have had many problems with 22s either not going into battery, or not feeding or extracting Remington bulk golden 22 ammo. Rims oversized?
My apologies. I'm not sure how this all relates to a NULA 22.

My Anschutz rifles are not picky about what brand they fail to eject. They drop Eley, Lapua, RWS, wolf/SK and Federal equally. This said, I love the rifles. Like said earlier, sometimes fancy stuff has quirks.
