My buddy has one, and loves it. Very accurate and reliable.
Personally, if I were doing it again, I'd forego my 10/22 and go the 7000. VERY good bang for buck.
Check out rimfirecentral.com and check out the reviews of the 7000 there... all positive!
If Wholesale AND Russels are out, check out SIR mailorder or one of the smaller gun stores (Elwood Epps, P&D Enterprises, to name a few).
