To me, the allure of the 10/22 is as much the quest as it is the end result. With the variety of 10/22 mods out there, you can basically build a 10/22 any way YOU want it. An already modded rifle may save you some time and/or effort, but thats not the route I'd go personally. By building a 10/22 the way YOU want it, you learn many details about your rifle that may otherwise be missed. You KNOW whats been done to the rifle, so if something DOESN'T work, you know where to start looking. Of course, one of the NICEST things about doing it yourself is shooting tiny groups and knowing its because of the weapon YOU put together, not because of someone else's ability at customizing rifles. Its a nice feeling seeing the 10 shot, one hole clusters, and knowing you squeezed that accuracy out of thee gun yourself. AS for those claiming the 10/22 to be unreliable and inaccurate.....thatg HAS NOT been my personal experience in either department. I have yet to replace my extractor, but have never had the ejection or jamming issues mentioned, regardless of ammo used (fed bulk is the usual diet). It was definitely "bunny accurate" to begin with, but is now more accurate than i can shoot it with the Green Mt replacement barrel.
