Not to guilt sling ……… I believe everyone should be issued a 10-22 or a Marlin model 60 at birth ?

Here’s mine. However my S&W 15-22 has been my favorite here lately. I think maybe it’s the 1-4x20 low power scope. It makes it a blast to shoot.
I think your right Dub! I've always been a fan of upper magnification, for longer range hunting/shooting, but I wish I would have had a 1-4x scope all those years, I hunted with deer dogs, holding a stand in the woods, swamps, and bottoms.I'm starting to think that low powered variable optics may be the best invention since sliced bread.
So useful....especially, for centerfires, if it has daytime bright illuminated circle-dot and true 1x at the bottom. Add in a tree for drop/wind and it's all good.

I rescued mine...or stole it fair and square...which ever you prefer....was someone's truck gun and well covered in surface rust. I cleaned it, re-blued it myself, then refinished the stock. Wish I had polished it out more. It is very finicky. The mag tube needs some work and I think the spring is shot. Pretty accurate for squirrel and cans too.
And now Ruger makes their own 25 round mags, no need to buy aftermarket for them anymore.the 10/22 magazine is the gold standard of all rimfire magazines.
I picked up one of the new winchester wildcat sr, lot of rifle for 250 bucks. Can drop the whole trigger/action out with the push of a button which also allows rear receiver access to clean the barrel if need be. Takes 10/22 mags and best of all threaded. Trigger needs work though.
