Planning on picking up a new .22 soon.
If you had asked me a year or two ago I would have picked a 10-22 without a second thought, but with the scarcity and higher cost of ammo I don't know if I want to chew through 500 rounds in an afternoon like I used to when bulk pack .22 was $15 a brick.
Hopefully ammo availability is back on the upswing though.
Now I am torn between the 10-22 I always wanted, and the new Ruger American Rimfire that claims to offer a nicer stock and better trigger and accuracy.
I currently only own an antique Stevens 15A single shot .22, which is a good occasional plinker and squirrel gun, but isn't made for any sort of sustained target shooting.
I want to be able to use this rifle for everything from plinking and small game, to informal target legues in the winter, and something that I will take with me on camping trips ocationaly.
So which would you reccomend, the 10-22 or the American Rimfire????
