Looking to buy a .22LR for target practice/training for someone new to shooting, but wants to become competitive. Want to start out spending only a few hundred bucks. Looking for a heavy barrel, semi-auto, plan to put on a scope. 10 round mags a must. Don't want to buy something and replace stock, barrel, trigger, etc. Want to shoot straight out of box. Read hundreds of postings and have narrowed it down to either a Ruger 10/22 or a Savage Mk II. Peoples thoughts and recommendations. have heard the accu-trigger from savage is really nice and is very accurate. eats everything where as the 10/22 is more popular, can be a finicky eater and needs to be upgraded to shoot accurately. Does anyone have both rifles? Is Walmart a 'safe' place to buy?
Thanks
