The 10/22 is a good rifle (if you add enough parts to make it work as it should) My stepdad has owned his for 30+ years and its still working,but it very picky about what ammo it likes.I'm not saying they are bad guns their just not for me.My model 60 wont win any beauty contests but right out the box it's accurate,reliable,and holds more ammo than a 10/22.
