I have had three 10/22's over the years and although people do like to mock it even the standard one can shoot well - I terms of stoppages I have found CCI subs cycle well whilst Winchester doesn't - and the cci's have been decently accurate - as standard I got a .36" group at 50 yards and with a hogue stock and trigger from rimfire magic managed .32" at 65 yards (both 3 round groups) I am sure a bolt action would be more accurate but you get a lot of bang for your buck with a 10/22!
