Agree with a lot being said here. Be sure what you want the rifle for. You mentioned a 100 yard shooting. If you be target shooting for accuracy at that range you'd be better off with something like a Remington 541 that gives pin-point accuracy. You're not going to get 1" size groups with the 15-22. That being said - the WOW and the pure "out & out" fun factor of the 15-22 can't be beat. I got two, 1 for me and the other for the gkids. Now I buy 22 ammo by the case.
