10-22 - burns ammo and needs fair amount of servicing to keep functioning.

A 10/22 barely needs any servicing to keep functioning. You can fire thousands of rounds without any malfunctions, then you just take the bolt out, get in there with a little action cleaner and a toothbrush, and it's back to brand new. Takes ten minutes. But yeah you'll chew through ammo (part of the reason I ordered a lever action for my plinking).

You'll only be disappointed with a JW15. Been there, done that. If you want something that looks like a CZ clone... get a CZ.
