    Quick search on Internet £150.

    I've a 10/22 and a number of stocks from a sporter, butler creek and now a standard synthetic. It wears a Nikon scope 3-9 x 40 and I love it. I owned a cz 22lr before but the ruger is more fun.

    Fair enough. The 10/22 is definitely one I'm interested in.

    I'd take a bolt action over a semi auto everyday of the week.

    That kind of some **** up especially if you like shooting some gallery at a range. It's just good old fashioned fun

    It's whatever your into. It's like some lads shoot trap others are into sporting but.
    My Ruger is mainly for rabbits and punching paper and if there is a gallery set up plink away as fast as you can.

    I've been sport shooting and hunting 12 years. The only time I spend on a golf course is with a rifle.

    If you are just shooting bunnies, then a bolt action is a good option. But if you want to do any target shooting, you are limited in the types of competitions you can do with a bolt action. Yes, there are several disciplines that a bolt action is advantageous but there are many other disciplines that require you to use a semi automatic rifle.

    Money is the problem there.
    Was checking out a Ruger takedown, but I have yet to put a few rounds through it. I like the compact ability of it especially if I'm going to transport it from home (it's not obviously a rifle in a bag)
