Hello,
I bought this for an Appleseed shoot this weekend:

The Tech-Sights were already installed.
I got home and went to sight it in. The front sight band was canted in relation to the receiver!
Now, I don't know much about the 10/22, but I cracked it open, found a V-block and a couple allen head screws holding the barrel on.
Cracked the screws, twisted the barrel, used a couple levels to get the sights correct - and bingo, it was done in about five minutes.
Now, that was an easy fix - which leads me to wonder, WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST DO THIS AT THE FACTORY? It would have been such a simple thing to set up a machine to make sure the barrel was squared with the receiver.
The other thing is the trigger guard and mag release. I like the old mag release.
I've not figured out whether this trigger guard is heavy plastic or some metal yet - haven't taken a magnet to it - but it's much cheaper and thicker than the 10/22's I owned when I was a teenager.
Has this expanded to the whole Ruger line? Or is there really this big of a demand for the 10/22 that they can't take their time...?
Thanks,
