I bet the Rugar is the better one. I couldn't get any accuracy with my Marlin.

varmit_master,

The only thing wrong with the Ruger 10/22M, like ALL Ruger rifles, is the "lawyer trigger" that they have. Once that is replaced, and it's not that hard, they are very accurate and dependable. My son uses a Ruger 10/22M(he is left handed due to an incident when he was 7) as he cant find a left handed bolt action .22 WMR that doesnt cost a lease on his life. Dont listen to those that complain about Ruger as most dont have any experience with them or are repeating a rumor they were told. I agree with you about the magazines that stick down. On top of sticking you in the back when you try to carry them on a sling they catch on every twig when going thru the brush. Get a Ruger 10/22M and install a decent trigger and youll no regret it.

If you want a truck gun you'll never beat the ruger theey always work, Maybe not the best but always. the trigger isn't hard to work on and a extended mag release reley helps specially when wearing gloves.
