    True. Ruger 10/22s gained an undeserved reputation here in the absence of competition, and they are popular to sell now because they inevitably require further sales of a whole range of aftermarket parts to accurize them.

    My personal observation - the best of the standard barrel sporter 22 semiautos I've tested over 30-40 years in terms of overall price/performance/quality/reliability would be the 2010 Marlin 60DLX. Hard to argue with groups down to 1/4", and averages close to that. Quite good quality little unit, walnut stock, beautifully accurate. Tube mag not everyone's cup of tea. Outdoor brands in Akld brings 60s etc in. If you prefer a detachable mag (easier with silencer) I'd go for a Marlin 795 stainless. Again reliable with right ammos, very accurate (0.4s at best and averaging in the 0.5s), and inexpensive for a wee sporter. Trigger mod required but that's it.
