So thankful I have 2 of these 10/22's. My son and I had many a timed competition dropping steel targets at varying distances. I had both barrels threaded for more quiet fun. I recently topped one with a Riton Optics 1 Primal 4-12X50 scope. For under $300, I am impressed with the brightness and clarity of this scope. It should be very useful to get rid of corn thieves around dusk.
