Fantastic guns. The Benchmark is what the 10/22 should have been right out of the box. Accurate, reliable, pretty (esp. the HB laminated stock model), steel reciever (instead of aluminum ala 10/22 or 597)....never heard a bad thing about them. When I was looking to buy another semi, I researched hard, and came up with two: The TC and the Browning Buckmark. I ended up witht he Browning (but mostly because it uses the same mags as my pistol) but if I buy another, it's definitely going to be the benchmark.
