I have a synthetic stocked stainless 10/22 with a Tasco Varmint 3.5-10x42 scope sitting on factory scope mount and cheap rings. It's virtually stock other than some 'functional' mods like auto bolt release, extended mag release, bolt buffer and VQ hammer. The VQ hammer was the 'lazy' way to lighten the trigger pull. FWIW, nothing on my rifle is 'high end' but it shoots into 1 hole at 25 yards and toonie sized groups at 50 yds with cheap ammo (Dynapoints, AE) and I can't complain about that.....
