I've had my 10/22 since about 1985; never cleaned it! It still shoots about 5 shots into an inch-ish at 50m. That's accurate enough for me for rabbits etc. I never feel it's ethically right to shoot to further than 75m with a .22 on rabbits etc. That old Ruger shot my first deer, pigs, goats, rabbits, hares, wallabies, possums, turkeys, peacocks etc etc. Never let me down
