Don't get a 10/22. Get a CZ 452 or 455. You don't have to modify it and it will out shoot the 10/22 right out of the box.
Buy a 10/22. If you can't afford it, sell the 597. I used to have a Remington Viper. It became part of the purchase of my 10/22, and that was a great decision.
Wanted to also add that I will buy 10/22's for about 150$ and flip them for about 225-250 depending on condition. I have thought about giving them another chance but, I really can't see one replacing my 15/22.
Umm, yeah... you're new here...
F*** is a dirty word on INGO; especially if you're not a dealer.
I thought it was an INGO requirement to own a 10/22?
Chezuki is the only I know who doesn't have one
Ah, you had a Remington Jam-o-matic too?
OP, don't buy a 10/22.
Only buy 10/22's.
That and every Ruger I bought was rough out of the box. You'll have to spend at 50% more than the purchase price to make it passable.
Really, the 10/22 is great a platform of tinkering.
Nope, won't do it.
You got something against Butler Creek Steel Lips?you could always do what I did and build a 10/22 that has zero Ruger parts in it (other than the magazine)
