I'm lucky enough to have an original sporter model from the early 80, s that I bought new for $200.It has an all metal trigger group unlike the newer versions. I had a SS model from mid 90, s and it was never the gun that my sporter is.I sold it bought a SR22, found it heavy and over priced. Sold it on the EE and broke even.I've had people pm me trying to buy the sporter or its stock but niet that one will be passed on to my son's.
Why all the 10-22 rifles for sale on the EE?

A friend and I went out to a farm in the High River area a while ago. Shot gophers for a while. He used his Anschutz bolt rifle, I used my 10-22. No FTF, FTE, no problems.
We didn't count misses, but since we were both competing in fullbore around then, there weren't many.
A few days later, As it Happens (CBC) interviewed a Toronto pet store owner who was selling domestically raised gophers as pets, for $300 US a pop.
I called in to their talkback line and reported that my friend and I had gone out the previous week and killed about $72,000.00 worth of gophers.
(He (my late friend) went out a week later and killed $240,000 worth of gophers in one field, in one afternoon... And repeated it the next day on the next field...)
10-22 is a great "minute of bunnyrabbit" or "minute of gopher angle" rifle...

The 10/22 is a semi auto 22 which has its flaws just like most every other semi 22. Guys who say it doesn't are just kidding themselves. It jams, doesn't like certain ammo, doesn't like certain mags, gotta do this mod or that mod, etc etc.
Nice rifle but some guys would lead you to believe it doesn't have its issues which is complete foolishness.
Except for the availability of aftermarket parts (if that's what you're into) it's no better than all the other similar rifles, and in some cases not as good.
