    Ruger 10/22 Deluxe walnut. Living in Tauranga a long time ago and doing a lot of rabbit shooting I decided I wanted a really nice semi-auto .22
    First up out of the box I noticed that the lousy inletting of the barrel channel was shifting the forearm position,it wouldn't sit centrally under the barrel. Wouldn't cycle reliably and accuracy was poor. Returned it to retailer who said nothing wrong.

    Took it to Eagle Engineering at the Mount and had it bedded,floated and re-crowned. No improvement. Tried all sorts of ammo,cleaned it/didn't clean it, cleaned the mag,no joy.
    After a year it started going full-auto for 2 or 3 rounds at which point I lost interest and sold it. Put me off 10/22's ever since ...but have owned a couple of Mini 14's and like them.
    Steve123 and viper like this.
