And there are , by all accounts, more marlins out there than Rugers so no disagreement from me.

You are bang on about the Annie semi auto too from what I have seen and heard.

The whole point is the 10/22 is designed and built to be a practical inexpensive carbine. It is not designed or spec'd to be a target rifle. Thus if someone wants a target grade rifle then this is not really what they are looking at.I have not handled a MagRes or a Kidd version so cannot say they are (or are not) that good, but those that I know who have one seem very happy with them and certainly seem to get good accuracy.

The only down side to these, that I have seen, is when people see a MR or Kidd at the range, (or a 10/22 that has had extensive upgrading to be really accurate) they recognize the 10/22 and most assume that all the 10/22s shoot this well because they have seen one do so then they go buy one and low and behold, it shoots like a 10/22 and they are disappointed.....
