Picked up a 10/22 last week from Academy. It had came in on the truck that AM. Came with a Viridian 3-9x40 scope. Wood stock. Hard case with Ruger stamped on it. Wanted to go shoot this weekend, but was too rainy for my taste. $329.99 - 5% Academy credit card discount. More than I wanted to pay, but a good deal in the current market and the only one I could find locally like I wanted.
I looked at a 15-22, but the receiver was plastic which I didn't like. Also, I figure the 10/22 will have a better chance of surviving any of Biden's executive orders than one that looks like an "assault rifle".

Back around New Years I bought one of the base model 10/22's at Academy. No great bargain @ $229 and tax, but I didn't own a 22 with more than a 9+1 tube magazine. At that time I couldn't find a used beater for much less.
It's still as is. I wiped it down, cleaned the bore and sat in the safe. I already had a couple of extra 10 round mags, and picked a pair of the 25's up too.
I've owned a couple of the heavy barrel target models that shot great. Never had a standard model that was too impressive accuracy wise, but never had one that wasn't reliable.
