In the hands of a skilled professional it's a deadly weapon.

Of course one could build it from a regular model or shorten the barrel of an 10/22 T but why bother if you can buy one off-the-shelf. I will most probably buy this version and add a suppressor (legal in Finland) and a mildot scope. A few high cap mags are added just for the fun of it. Anyway having an accurate scope semi-auto is always a pleasure. Besides 10/22s last forever. Remember to change the barrel every 50000 rounds or so.

I own 2 ruger 10/22's both with custom triggers and the vleh tactical trigger was almost as good, I GUESS I need one. Enjoy shooting, PS Wolf 22 lr target rounds shoot tighter groups.

It has it's own little instructions in the box. I'm really liking this rifle. I bet it's going to be a lot of fun at the range as soon as I can dial in the Nikon 4 x 40 scope I just mounted on there. How sweet is that? More on it after I shoot it a bit. Picked one up today.

Also had the chamber buzzed ( 1/2 MM & yes , it makes a huge difference ) to shoot CCI Stingers w/ zero problems . I've also polished the trigger sear w/ 400 grit automotive sandpaper - a workin' man's trigger job ! Breaks @ just over 3 pounds . Wanna real kick , 10-22 fans ? Spend less than a C note for a .17 Mach II barrel from Numrich ... bolts right on w/ an allen wrench . A heavy bolt is also required - another 35 bucks . Uses the same factory mags as the .22 , although I have had feeding problems with cheap hi-cap mags . In this configuration , the CCI Stinger seems lame . It will absolutely REMOVE a tree rat's head @ over 100 yards , as long as the wind's not blowing too hard . Wouldn't trade mine for love or money ...it's heavy , but with a 6-24 X50 Tasco target scope on board ... it's deadly accurate on small game up to coyote . Pop's 'em & drops 'em - game over .

That's what makes or breaks this gun for me, if it's good, I'll get it, if it's just the same as in basic 10/22, then I'll get that instead, and buy aftermarket trigger for the same money.

Alas, it was not to become mine. The retailer had two on the table but they were spoken for. A guy and his wife had them on hold at the show that morning as they went home for their CCW permits so they could take them home that day. Grrr... they bought them both. Anyway, great feel, fit and finish on this rifle. It's shorter than I expected. The stock is short and the barrel seems short. The Hogue grip and the heavy, hammer forged barrel is a fantastic match and has an absolutely fantastic feel and balance to the rifle. I absolutely love the Hogue over molded grip / stock. Hard to believe it's a 10/22. Some basic post sights would be nice but it's intended to get a scope so back up sights are not part of the deal. Given the really attractive spiral treatment on the barrel, sights would not go well cosmetically. This is a .22 LR rifle I want to own. I have a nice Nikon 4x rimfire scope in the closet just waiting for a home on a rifle... The price I saw on this one was $439 at the show.

Are you really assuming that an individual would take this weapon to a current world conflict. Think of it more as a " end of times class rifle" easy to stock up and store ammo, you can carry twice the amount of ammo, and in the appropriate hands can be just as leathal as many other larger calibers.
