I was seriuosly gonna get the SS 10-22 to match the NIB Bushnell Trophy Silver 3-9x40(yeah I know, why buy a gun to match a scope,but it's an uncurable sickness when it comes to buying a new gun or any gun for that matter........it keeps me sane) But I spent a litttle more and bought a NIB 10/22T "blued" and abbsolutly love it, I recently replaced the extractor & buffer, and not one jam or stoppage with cheap Winchester bulk & Federal bulk. Good Luck with whichever you decide on!
