The Ruger 10/22 has, is, and always will be America's go-to plinker. There is something about a simple and affordable design that is reliable and cheap to shoot. Whether you are a new shooter, a veteran of the craft, a survivalist, or someone just wanting to teach their kids how to shoot, it is truly a gun that should be in your closet. If there is anything on the gun that doesn't suit you, it is almost guaranteed an aftermarket company has you covered. There is just no reason to not have a 10/22 around.
