Where to start.... Bought this thing brand new 9 years ago, originally a 10/22 sport. I immediately changed the barrel, and stock with a replacement set from Cabelas, and added an extended magazine release. The scope is a 4x, perfect amount of glass in my opinion, and it was originally supposed to be a temporary fix when my previous silver finished scope broke, but its grown on me, so its going to stay on for a while. I took this with me up to Oregon when I was going to school. We would spend an entire day on a ranch, shooting ground squirrels. That was when $5 would buy 500 rounds of rem gold, I miss those days. Im not much into the tacticool look. I prefer my .22 to be a .22, and not look like something it is not, a MSR, but to each his own. I have been wanting to pick up another 10/22 for a while now, and leave it bone stock, but haven't got around to doing that yet.
