Been shooting handguns for several years and have started looking to expand my horizons a bit. I am looking to buy a nice, but not super-high-end .22 rifle for target-shooting. I've been a big fan of the Ruger 10/22 ever since I was a kid and am leaning to towards getting one of those. However, I would prefer NOT to have to do a lot of modifications to get it to be an accurate shooter; I want a good shooter on day one.
At my local gunshop, there are a couple of heavily modified 10/22's in the used gun rack. Both appear to be in excellent condition and come with heavier barrels, upgraded wood stocks and scopes. Both are in the $425 range.
Given the cost of upgrading a stock 10/22, would you all purchase a usesd 10/22 that had already been upgraded? I would hate to get stuck with someone else's project failure. Any thoughts?
