Hello all, first post here.
I am a long time shooter but fairly new to rimfire.
I shoot a lot of pistol/shotgun and some 6.5 creed but recently I have really been enjoying my ruger markII and have gotten extremely accurate with it.
I bought a marlin and a savage for my kids and have shot them a fair bit, the savage is actually pretty accurate but I dont really like either of them.
Anytime I go to the range alone I take my motorcycle and I would really like to be able to stick a takedown 22 in my saddle bag.
I have been searching all over the internet and I am still not sure if the ruger 10/22 is up to the task. I do like the takedown models and would not mind putting a few hundred into it in upgrades if the end result would be a takedown rifle with acceptable accuracy.
So -- for those of you who shoot for accuracy alone, what kind of groups is the ruger 10/22 takedown with some reasonable upgrades capable of at 50yds given the right rest/shooter/ammo ?
Any help greatly appreciated
