I have a few 10/22 and took my new M&P Sport to the range today for the first time.

The 10/22 has an horrendous trigger out of the box. All of mine have Volquartzen match hammers along with the bolt release mod. MUCH nicer. If you really want to go all in you can buy a match sear as well or a whole drop in trigger group. How accurate do you want to spend?

The trigger on the M&P is "acceptable." I wasn't expecting a bench rest match rifle. It's wearing a super cheapo eotech knockoff and shot "OK" groups at 25 yards with Aguila HV ammo. It might be more accurate with different ammo.

The guy who decided the 10/22 didn't need a last round hold open was probably the same guy who designed that *&#^&$^ bolt release. In slow fire I can usually tell when the last round is fired. It does feel a bit different. I doubt you could feel it when running & gunning.
