Ship,
My Buck Mark has been great. Shoot nothing but cheapy 550 round boxes of Walmart ammo. A few failures to fire, but all the ammo, not the gun. I did have a few failures to go to battery the first time I cleaned it, then shot it, but I think it was MY re-assembly issues. It's much more complex than a Walther or XD to strip and clean. I took it back apart,and ressemble it. No problems.

That said, I put an old "beater" 1X20 Tasco pitol scope on top, and it shoots quarter-size groups at 25yds. (My Fiance's son used the scope on a pistol-grip mount as a "gun" for 2 years around the house at age 10... 5 years ago, hunting zombies. Says a lot for Tasco durabability!!!) I'm swapping out the barrel for a 10" Tactical Solutions after X-Mas, and upgrading the scope. I want dime-size groups at 25yds. I'll post the pic...

Shipwreck: I have 1/2+ dozen Rugers; anything might need touching up.
10-22 will prove to be a compliment to your 'herd'
Check with Rimfire central. Check with GunTalk online: 10-22 is highly thought of along with Marlin and Savage.
