I bought one last winter as well and put Skinner peep sights on it. The rear sight mounts to the back of the barrel instead of the receiver so you lose some sight radius, but it makes for a light, fast rimfire rifle that's great for plinking, squirrel, and rabbit. I'm planning on putting the Magpul Backpacker or Hunter stock on once work slows down a bit, if I can just decide which one I like better.
If you think the 10/22 TD feels cheap, you should try the other takedowns available - the Savage or Charter Arms AR7 make the 10/22 TD feel like a fine English hunting rifle.While it's COOL to be able to break it down and put it in a back pack...there really isn't THAT much of a need for that feature unless you plan on taking it hiking. I handled one very recently and frankly found it to feel "cheap". If the take down feature is appealing to you, do it....life is short.
The 10/22 is outstanding little rifle with a massive aftermarket. In my opinion, they are expensive for what they are and IMHO are overpriced . . . The take down model is over priced by much more . . . If the take down feature is appealing to you, do it....life is short.
If you want it to mount a scope, plink, learn how to sight in and use a red dot then there are other options out there that offer a lot of rifle for much less money. The Savage 64 has a free float barrel and is known for it's accuracy and it has a steel receiver. The Marlin 795 and the Marlin Model 60 is a great value and are excellent rifles.
I just spent a week figuring out which .22 rifle I would buy. I ultimately decided on an older Glenfield 60 (1977) because I wanted the longer barrel, higher round count and superior craftsmanship and build materials. (Back when companies weren't as quick to exchange quality for profit margins) If I were to buy a modern rifle......Savage 64 all day long.
Those are exactly the sights I was looking at. You give them a favorable review then?

I picked one up today with a wood stock, feels really nice in the hands but havent shot it yet. I will say with the wooden stock I am hesitant to throw it in a B.O.B. or backpack which is what its intended for.
My local drug dealer aka Wabash Valley Armory (smaller gun shop in my area). They only had the one.Who did you get it from? the wood stock versions are usually dealer exclusives. Got mine at rural king.
