22 RIFLE
All good advice here...but one more thought: If you decide to scope the rifle make sure you get a good quality scope and not a ".22 rifle scope". Many manufactures make what they call .22 rifle scope or rim fire scope, but in my opinion they are not worth the bother. A scope built for a center fire rifle is much more accurate and durable. I would go with a straight 4 power for a .22.
You can get a decent rifle scope for less than $100 that would work fine, or of course you can spend $300.00 for one, but I don't think the cost would be justified for a .22.
Enjoy the plinking.

PS & Update
I had a little trouble finding this gun.
Wouldn't Ya know Ruger would discontinue the rifle I want.
I finally tracked one down after calling Ruger and their Distributor and a local Dealer.

22 RIFLE
********************
My cousin had a real nice new Remington bolt action single shot 22 rifle and a 22 pistol back in the 50s.
~~~~~~~~
I was talking to him on the phone this morning and asked him if he still had these guns.
He said yes and told me his dad got the rifle for him when he was 10 years old ; that was 56 years ago he also told me he got the 22 pistol about a year later and he still has the daisy BB gun he had before he got the 22s.

22 RIFLE
I never was much of a hunter, too lazy i guess, but I do hzve a couple old "22's". I've got my Dad's single shot and a bolt action tube feed that a neighbor gave for helping him do something for a day when I was a kid. I have no clue what brand they are, but they still knock off a groundhog or a skunk now and then. When I was in high school one of the neighbor boys, (rich kid), had a real neat lever action 22, again I have no idea what brand it was, but it did have a shorter barrel than mine do. I've always wanted one ever since, but just never got one. Sounds like the Ruger ten shot is a favorite amoung most of you. Do they still make that model? Roughly how much does a new one cost? Where is the best place to buy one? Thanks. Frank.

Frank the 10/22's sell for $170 now and you can get them on sale many times for $140 or so.
I'll take the bolt action 22 anyday for pest control. Most will drive tacks at 40 yds all day. The semi-autos are fun plinking cans, and shooting rats in the land fills. Too bad all the little town dumps have gone away.

22 RIFLE
The ruger 10/22 will not shoot 22 shorts. The auto will not eject them. I have found that 22 longs are less expensive than shorts anyway. Stay away from the black 22 longs they leave resdue on your hands as well as the gun. I prefer the 22 mini mags (not cheap) good rounds that always fire. They burn clean and are consistent on the 40 to 60 yrd range. Dont by a 22 scope, buy a scope that will focus on the target. Rule of thumb zero the gun at 25 yrds and it should be good for the 60 yrd range.
I shoot mine all the time you can get a 25 round clip for the gun. They are the best and most fun if not you will spend all your time loading that 10 round clip.
Have fun and be careful gun safety is no joke.

harvey, "shooting rats in the land fills"
Had forgotten that fun. I used a single shot around corn barn, had to be fast and accurate. kt
