What is your preferred rimfire rifle and why is it the Ruger 10/22? What is your 10/22 setup? Traditional? Take down? Other?

Ruger 10/22 tips
You can never have too many. I have stopped at three to focus on other projects but I believe if everyone has just one it should be the take down model.Apparently 1. Every time I get one it eventually ends up as the basis for one of the wife's custom build. Her 3 custom 10/22. Me 0 10/22 of any type.
Thanks! It's a really cool concept, compatible with any AR buttstock and free float tube. Adaptable to any application, high precision or low drag.Those setups with the Nordic chassis are sweeeeeeeet.
Like @Old Dog, I use my 10/22 to teach new shooters (as well as for my own plinking enjoyment). Mine's not the takedown model, though. It started life as your basic carbine, and stayed that way for 3 decades+, but I've made a few changes since then. It's a Super-Plinker now!I don't shoot .22 LR rifles for accuracy, just for plinking and fun. I've had only two 10/22s, one traditional wood stock and the TD but I really, really like my take-down model. It's just so portable, love the bag. I use it for teaching young people rifle shooting (it has the screw-on rail for easy mounting of a 4x scope or red dot) and it's just plain fun for everyone to shoot. My kids probably enjoyed this rifle more than any other gun they've tried out.

[^^^ Edited: I took a couple of pictures out for brevity.]I've never cared for the basic carbine with the barrel band. The stock doesn't fit adults and the barrel band hurts accuracy. But over the years Ruger has offered the 10/22 in well over 100 different configurations. I count 70 different variants currently on their website. There is something for everybody....
IMO the sporter should be the most commonly sold rifle. They aren't much more expensive, have a real walnut stock, no barrel band and actually fit most people ...
These are my favorites. They come with a 20" mid-weight target barrel. Just enough weight to shoot well, but not too heavy to hunt with. Unless you go crazy heavy on a scope weight is around 7 lbs ready to hunt.

Almost identical to the one above, but this version comes with the BX target trigger. This is a limited run and may not be easy to find.

I once tracked 10/22 pricing over a period of 20yrs and found they did not even keep up with inflation.Mine is a traditional stock one. I did put a BX trigger in it. I can't believe what 10/22's are going for these days.
