I recently bought a used "plain Jane" 10/22. It was my first 10/22 ever. It has the old hardwood stock and aluminum trigger guard and was in near-perfect condition. I mounted a Tasco Pronghorn 3-9x32 scope on it and took it to a nearby indoor range.
After sighting-in, I was able to put 9 out of 10 rounds (rapid fire) into a 1" Shoot-N-C target at 25 yards. A few moments later, I put 3 rounds into a dime-sized target at the same distance! I could have shot like that all afternoon. The rifle seemed to shoot just as well with four different brands, weights, and configurations of ammo. I am quite happy with the results so far.
I haven't been to a good outdoor range yet, but I will report results as soon as I can!
