I just added a Ruger 10/22 rifle to my gun collection. (Big ah-ha moment... I have a gun collection! Squeee!) John is very passionate that every gun collection needs a 10/22. I had no idea this rule existed. Regardless, I bet my itty-bitty gun collection has a better return-on-investment than my 401K.
10/22's are good cheap fun. Everyone should have at least one. What else is on John's list of required firearms???

In all likelihood, the 10/22 will be enjoyed by your grandchildren... i have seen reports on rimfirecentral of people with upwards of 100,000 rounds through theirs without a hitch...
I would recomend you look at 3 parts to add to your though...
1) the extended magazine release
2) the bolt hold open
3) a replacement buffer pin
all three should cost less than $40 total and they take about 30 minutes to install.

and I bet the collection is far more fun then the 401K right?
In addition to a Ruger 10/22 being necessary in any gun collection, you also need a Henry .22LR lever gun :) I enjoy it even more then my Ruger 10/22 :-p

Bookmark this site. After modifying a friend's 10/22 with target barrel, target stock, complete target trigger group, etc. and having it put 6 out of 10 shots into the same ragged hole at 50 yards...he commented; "You SOB, you nickle and dimed me into a $700 dollar rifle!"
