PHXSHOOTER, I couldn't agree with you more, well written.

Fun was the number one reason I bought my 15-22, the second reason was because 22lr is cheep and plentiful so I can spend hours shooting while the 223 guys are sitting around talking because there out of ammo.

My 15-22 has ran great, it loves the higher velocity ammo but not so much the bulk ammo, with the bulk ammo I get stove pipes, just something I have to remember and get used to.

I have only had mine since last may, but I expect to have it the rest of my life, I've never had a complaint from anyone I've let shoot it and my grand kids love it!
