There's no real downside, but the takedown feature is really only useful for transport in urban environments. I dont know a single person that would ever take it backpacking (too heavy).

I used the TS front tower with a Nodak integrated rear sight/rail so I could also mount a red dot.

CraigC,
That's nice. Thanks for posting.
Any issues with loss of accuracy? wandering zero when taking down transporting storing and reassembling?

My 10/22 is a standard model; I only know one guy with a takedown and he seems real happy with it. But I must add that he doesn't take it down very often because I don't think he trusts that feature to ensure accuracy after many, many takedowns. So he just leaves it assembled and I guess he'd only take it down on rare occasions. He likes it; It shoots good; and he wants to keep it that way.

I believe you don't clean a .22 until you start having function issues or accuracy falls off.
I will complement the 10-22 on it is the most modifiable platform on the planet....you want it to shoot arrows you can, you want it to look like a gun from star wars, you can.
I have only had two, and the 10-22 fanboi's are a pretty rabid lot, I am not, I am not impressed, not with the older versions, not with the newer one flavors.
If it works for you fine, they have never worked for me....and no I will not quit telling all my experience with the rifles.

That's kinda the problem. You're not just sharing your poor experience, you are proclaiming that ALL 10/22's are junk. If anyone is "rabid", it's those with an axe to grind because they had a problem with one or two guns and use that as a benchmark to condemn the entire 53yr production of literally millions of guns. One of the most popular rifles EVER. You obviously liked them at one time, enough so that you bought two of them. You also have to realize that your problem guns, if they were such, are statistically insignificant. Would you get a problem AR and condemn ALL AR's as junk as a result? Not if you employ any logic whatsoever.
I had a Bearcat that was junk out of the box. Every chamber was peened and the frame was misshapen. Do I condemn ALL Bearcats because of this? No, I have enough perspective to know that it was a rare exception and its replacement is excellent in every way. I had to return a Cimarron 1860 Richards Type II .44Colt because of fit/finish issues and an ejector that was an inch too short. Do I condemn ALL of them? No. That would be silly. In other words, get over it already.

Yes. It was one of the first things I did, and they work just fine. My TD seems to keep zero repeatedly.
No...I proclaim that they are the very Definition of ENTRY LEVEL 22 on the planet, and there are much MUCH better choices out there....this thing gets a pass because it is so easy to toss parts at it....in fact so many toss parts at it you can now build a 10-22 and have ZERO parts from ruger....wonder why that is....oh yea, never mind.
It is not rare that has happened to me....look at find people that say the real truth about this tomato stake and see the same kind of response they get....they keep getting shouted down by fanbois till they go away....now they can talk nothing of praise for their $1500 10-22 with carbon fiber this, and that whatever BS it takes to make the stupid thing shoot straight and run a magazine in it.
It has run all that time and made that many because they are so cheap to make....shows in quality....and you can do anything to them....that is it. They are not good guns....just good enough. And the brain washed masses that keep buying the things think that is the end all and be all of rimfire....a little like AR fanbois.
Sorry they are just not that good.....it is just one of those things that people live with.....well it only took this $5 part and now it is great.....not acceptable.

Not sure what bearing it has in a 10/22 specific thread but there are a number of 22 rifle choices and that's a quantitative fact. What "ENTRY LEVEL", "much MUCH" and "better" mean are all going to be qualitative and opinions will vary.
If you said in the $300 and down price range there are 14 rifles that out of the box, will shoot group sizes that are half the diameter of what an out of the box 10/22 will shoot, then we have something to talk about. A list of them for starters.
After a similar thread of "I like "X" and "Y" is a turd", I got out 3 fairly common .22's and came to the conclusion there wasn't one that jumped out at me and made me get rid of the others.

What other $169 rifle would you get instead? I have a Marlin 60 and it isn't exactly a finely crafted firearm.

I'd love to know what parts you think people are swapping just to make them run? Where exactly is all this rhetoric coming from? Your posts are nothing but straw man nonsense.
One of mine needed a spring as the stupid thing would not eject in anything that came close to a reliable manner....that took care of the failure to eject, the feeding issue I have not addressed as I am so pissed at the thing at the moment I don't want to screw with it.
The second one had strikes so light it was not even funny....turns out FROM THE FACTORY the firing pin was short....how the hell can you do that....just piss poor quality control. That one got a new pin and it will now at least go bang....too bad it will not hit the planet earth if I stuff the muzzle in the ground....but hay it will at least go bang now.....as long as it is squeaky clean....I have yet to get past a 50 round box and not have an issue.
Then we get to the "you only need 10 rounds"...and yes now that the founder of the company is dead you can now get real ruger mags that hold more then 10.....however they are stupid magazines in the things...that have got to be the most stupid way to get them out in the world.....really could you make it any of a larger pain in the..........
So the question is....why the......did I buy a second one if I had such bad luck with the first.....hay it is a ruger 10-22....everyone loves the things....I must just have gotten a tuesday after long holiday when the entire staff was still hungover.....so I got another one.....well that was a 100 mistake....same deal.
Talk to anyone that has drank the 10-22 coolaid and they will say....just toss this or that part in it and it will run great....or replace the barrel with this or that, and you will have a tack driver.....I get it....people buy the thing going in thinking I am going to start tossing out cruddy parts for good ones....oops wrong choice of words....modifying and upgrading it....as we all know it is impossible do make the thing any worse.
So why do I still have them.....well currently I have one...gave the other to a buddy of mine to see if he could make it shoot straight.....that was about 7 years ago....he has not said anything about it so it must be doing great and he kept it...or it is being true to its form and being used as a tomato stake.
What would I buy instead.....
How about something that works.....the 60 is not finally crafted, but I have seen them so gooky and work it is amazing....the FIL gun came home for me to fix (magazine tube lost one of its little ears and will not stay in the tube) and it was so gooky that the ammo stuck to my hand after I unloaded it. It is also a bit on the cool side as it is a Western Auto branded gun.....and I do tend to like that pit of history....those guns Revelation, Sears...all those (house brands) I just like....and after all these years I guess it is allowed to lose an ear on the follower....unlike the Rugers that will not run fresh out of the box.
I actually got to shoot a mossberg 22...I think it was called the plinker or something....talk about a gun that was built to a price point....everything about it screamed I AM AS CHEAP AS YOU CAN GET....but you know it worked....and it did not shoot half bad...about an inch of pop can at 50 yards, and I think that is the market it is going after.
Based on that one outing with the mossberg I would buy it over a 10-22, it worked...but man cheap....almost too cheap...but it worked. So if I had only $110 (what this guy said he paid for it) I would do that....actually I would save a few more pennies from the law mowing and get something a little better, but if I had to stay in that price range that would be it.....and I would have money leftover for some ammo.....

The 60 is a decent rifle and they are a great deal for the money (mine was $69 from Kmart) but I wouldn't say they are much Much better.
All of my new 10/22's have ran out of the box, even the used ones that had issues ran great after I cleaned the cobwebs out of the magazines. Then again I read the instructions on how to clean them and put them back together. I know, that's cheating....

I picked up a 10/22 TD about 6 months ago.
I was in the market for something that was going to be shot 99% of the time standing at ~25 yards. I'm not to concerned about trying to shoot 10rd 1 hole groups off of a rest at 50 yards.
I wanted something handy and convenient for punching paper (my two ranges are indoors and 25 yards max) and popping tree rats. I may in the future invest in a nice Savage bolt gun with a hi power scope for shooting bug hole groups which would best a standard (or target model) 10/22 and Marlin M60.
As is, my TD with a Burris TRS-25 is OUTSTANDING for what I wanted. I don't think there's a better choice on the market for a pure handy plinker that stows away so nicely.

Anybody who says that 10-22's in general are inaccurate or unreliable and need aftermarket parts to work is delusional or has not shot very many of them. When i was a kid our go to rifles were 2 10-22's. We never had any issue knocking birds and squirrels out of the trees and rolling over stripped gophers. We shot at least a brick or two of winchester wildcats a month every month of the year except January and February. I don't recall ever cleaning one other than running a patch through it from time to time. My wifes family has 4 of them on the wall for pest control and we shoot those regularly. The only malfunctions I can recall are the occasional stovepipe jam. The biggest problem is they tend to kill the $40 scopes we put on them. All of them are stock out of the box. There is a good reason they have sold millions upon millions of them and 95% of them out there are stock and the owners are unaware that aftermarket parts even exist for them, which was the case for us growing up on the farm with them.
Blasphemy.....repent unbeliever....repent or forever in the bowels of hell.
The 10-22 is the only rifle...it is the rifle...why it can do anything you 10-22-a-phobe.....you just can't read, or have not used them enough.....why I pity such an uninformed excuse for a human....alas I think you are lost, that is unless you burn all other rifles that are not of the chosen one....the great and holy 10-22, Repent sinner....repent....there is still time for you.

The Browning is great but it's twice the cost of a 10/22 and I don't think anyone's going to be stashing one behind the seat of their truck. 
Now you're just being a troll.
