    For my purposes the off the shelf 10/22 is just fine. Yes, I realize that I could fine tune it to death, but as Rebel said (and being on a budget) more ammunition is the route I choose to go.

    yeah, the difference is I shoot mine competetively and against guys shooting Anshutz and other very end bolt action guns. And I hold my own with them. Besides once you feel that really sweet trigger, you just want to go to the next step!
    I know what hunts you.

    For competition I agree 100% with you. Any advantage you can give yourself. For me, part of it may be - I don't want to try all the modifications - I might like them.

    For cheap practice and a little plinking fun, O.K. a .22

    For survival: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=136160087

    Something w/ authority to get the job done. Yea, you could carry a load of .22 ammo in comparison to 7.62. However, with the 308 it would probably only take one.

    Cowboy,
    The Crickett rifles are made in Milton, PA in the good ole USA. The quality is quite good for the price. I checked out several rifles of this type and size and like the Crickett about the best. The Henry Minibolt is a fine rifle as well, but about $70 more. Check them both out.

    As for those advocating the 10/22, I would say that if I were to own just one .22, then absolutely I agree. For a kit type gun, I would still lean towards the aforementioned Crickett, etc. The AR-7/Henry Survival types are fine as well, but like the 10-22, they lack the hollow stock to put the kit in (as long as you are using the AR-7 stock as intended to stow itself).

    For each his or her own, just handle and give as many a try as you can before pulling the trigger on buying one (pun intended).
    Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
