Thread: Which model of the 10 /22 ?

I still own a older model 10/22 which must be 30 + years old, shoots well but certainly no tack driver but more than adequate for rabbits out to 80 yards +. I have shot a lot of pests while night shooting over the 31 years doing pest control and never ever felt I needed a better rifle. I did use Marlins, Browning, Norinco, Krico's, during those years as well but always had a 10/22 which was my preferred rifle. For your type of shooting a 10/22 that can do around an inch at 50 yards will be fine. Cleaning is easy, I cleaned mine about every 5000 rounds which was reasonably often, especially when I shot 500 rounds a night ( the thumb gets a bit sore loading the rotory mag when using those volumes) Function was fine using sub sonic and most the time it was the 40 gr Winchester that we used as it killed well and shot pretty good and was quite clean burning. Good luck Viper sounds like you are up to your neck in rabbits down there, the virus has left you a few.
