I'll second the "so accurate that it's boring" comment.See attatched link.tom.

My first rifle was a Winchester 69A that I bought when I was 14 wayyyyyyyyyy back in 1958 or so.
As time went on I decided that I needed a .22 Auto. My parents gave me one after I was out of the service one year for Christmas. It was a Remington 550-1.
Well today I still have both of them............and usually reach for the old Winchester first! I know I have to crank the bolt, and it only holds 5 in the mag and one in the barrel compared to the Rem. but I still like it!
As to reliability both are 100% reliable. The Remington even functions at over a 95% reliability rate with CCI CB Shorts! It is not supposed to cycle with them but it do!

Well I don't have 22 rifle as of now...got talked out of them.
Deluxe 10/22 with a 4x, with Win X22lr , well always worked
I gave to a boy scout troop my Rem 514 single shot, fun, shot anything, everytime.
Just sighted in a Marlin 60 not long ago for a 10 y/o(Xmas gift) again X22lr always works, "mommy is shooting all my ammo", Ok I shot..."mommy make him stop"...ok we had fun, and yes I gave the kid another brick of ammo
I'm trying to figure how to steal my DR./buddy/shooting pardner's lever action Browning and his little Browning auto...sweet!
Ammo is the key.

As it comes out of the box, a factory stock 10/22 is just fun. But it can be as accurate as you want to make it. The hard thing to get over is that the sporter barrel absolutely must be replaced; the factory target barrel is fine, however.
In any event, the action and a small portion of the barrel should be bedded and the trigger pull reduced by half.
Kimber also makes a fine rifle, and no one has mentioned the CZ 452 line yet.

I've shot .22s till I'm ... well, still tickled silly with 'em. Nothing so cheap, while still so good at what they do so well.
Some're better than others but every one has done good enough for what I'd want 'em to do.
Got a couple 10/22s that'll knock 10 for 10 AK brass off the shelf every pull at 25 yds = plenty good enough fun & "serious work."
.22 LRs seem to be ammo-dependent in many ways. I'd run a box of 50 through each to see what each likes. Likely enough, any problems can be attributed to the bullets rather than the gun.
Browning makes a sweet-heart rifle, 10/22s are just too too not to have a couple, & with the other "mumble" amount of others we have, they all do well enough.
Maybe lucky. No sweat, no hassle.
One mention. Every .22LR rifle I've had, here & there, you'll run in to a rond that doesn't go bang.
Ya know what I do?
Just work the action, pitch that round & who could care less?
There's that self defense-tyhing, I know. I have & use a revolver exclusively for that. Action "pitches" the round, if need be .... we could talk = 'nother forum.
