Which I read ALL of in the past few days, but couldn't make it to the end without buying a used Ruger 10/22! I used to have one and liked it a lot, and always kinda kicked around the idea of getting another one. So... cleaned it up, working on dialing in the scope, but I haven't had too much time to spend at the range yet. Still thinking of getting the Glock 23 though... |

A Glock is a bigger investment, and I'd hate to end up with a dud. |
