I run a couple of 10/22's and they go extremely well. I had a nice BRNO semi-auto once but sold it as I got sick and tired of feeding problems, bought another 10/22 and never looked back. I go through between 1,000 - 2,000 rounds in each rifle per year and only have maybe... 2 or 3 miss-feeds per rifle per 1000 rounds. Typically this is an outgoing case not quite making it out the door as the bolt closes.
Off the shelf I think the above comments are correct in that they're not as accurate as the Marlin. The first thing I would do is a quick trigger job. Either buy a nice aftermarket trigger group or polish you own. I did the later and WOW, what a difference. The polishing wasn't difficult and it made such a difference that I wouldn't hesitate doing it again. With the trigger job done they're as accurate as any other rifle.
After that, the 10/22 is eminently customisable. Like the AR platform the aftermarket toys are limitless. For that reason they're hugely popular and fun to tinker with.
If you're in town, call in and you can have a play.
