10/22 question

[Mandown!]

I think the most important thing for the OP to consider is whether he wants a not so precise "bullet hose" that can be tweaked to look like an assault rifle, and might require multiple upgrades in the pursuit of accuracy, but can accept several after market 25 round mags, but will cost much much more.

Or...

Whether he wants an affordable semi .22 that functions flawlessly and is very, very nearly as accurate as a quality bolt action rifle, but does not have much in the way of aftermarket "upgrades" and only accepts factory built and widely available 7 and 10 round mags, but does have many features already built into the rifle that the ruger does not... for less money than the 10/22.

Indeed. I do want it so i can upgrade with a marauder kit, although some people probably think thats lame tacticalizing stuff just cause it looks cool i find it hard to resist the look of that kit. im just starting to get into guns so i guess im in a bit of a"awesome looking ####" mode, but i still want it to be somewhat accurate and reliable or else whats the point right? not much fun clearing jams constantly and not hitting any targets
