I personally like the 10/22, even though I don't have one right now. Wally World sells the synthetic stock/stainless combo here in the Shoals area for $237.00. Not a bad deal to me, and I'm honestly not a good enough shot to appreciate the minute differences in accuracy. However, my gunsmith has been known to say that the best way to create a great 10/22, since everybody uses all that aftermarket stuff, was to start with something other than a 10/22.
