Don't got one of those. I do have a Taurus M66B6. The design comes from the time when S&W and Taurus were corporate 3rd cousins.

Don't have one of those. I do have a Ruger American .308 compact for the rare occasions I get to shoot past 100 yards.

I agree that everyone needs a 10/22. I'll add that if you don't want to get sucked into another modification black hole, consider the Marlin 795. The 795's micro-groove barrel is tops. I'd have to swap out my 10/22 barrel to get the accuracy & precision potential that the 795's barrel has out of the box.
But during this seriously odd long lasting .22lr shortage, buying a .22lr wouldn't be high on my list. Where's the fun in shooting a .22lr that is supposed to be affordable to shoot when the ammo costs more than 9mm? A firearm chambered for .22lr was a no-brainer when you could shoot all day on a 550 rd brick that cost $17.
