Hearing inaccuracy problems with the Rugers and the 96/22 model is news to me. Since our firearm confiscations in this country the semi auto rifles are now illegal to most. The 10/22 was always highly desired in this country. Some ranchers can have the Ruger 10/22 under special permit, tho many cannot. I am a rancher and had mine confiscated along with a nice Ruger .44 mag semi auto. I was pleased with both. Seeing the vast array of Accurising and Custom options available for the 10/22 and that they are being made into real tack drivers, I wondered if anything is being done with the 96/22 as these are available to us here Down Under. I Spoke with Volquartsen on a visit to the US recently, just so happened to be in Carroll Iowa where they are based and know they are doing work on this model. Just wondered if anyone else is?
