I've been shooting for a few months now. I have a Glock 27 and a Ruger Sr22 pistol. Looking at getting a rifle. I don't hunt, so just looking for something to use at the range. The place I go to has a 100 yd and then a combined 200/300 yd range for rifles. This would be my first rifle. I've shot an AR-15 before but we can no longer buy them here in CT. Has anyone had any issues with the "takedown" portion of their 10/22? Or are the parts pretty reliable? Seems like it'd be easier to clean and maintain than the regular version. Especially since I'm new to this. Are the 200/300 yd ranges unrealistic with this type of rifle? I was hitting at 200 yds no problem with the AR, but that was a 223 vs a 22lr. Still deciding if I should go for the 10/22 now, or hold off a bit and get a Mini 14 instead. Thanks in advance for the pointers.
Thinking of picking up a 10/22 takedown

Just got my 10/22 Carbine....haven't been to the range yet....ordered a Timney trigger for it just because the reviews were sooo great....cost 3/4 the price of the rifle....
I hear ya with the take-down cleaning....has to be better than the fixed models.......
I've been told it's great @ 50yds....even better @ 25yds...but don't know what to expect @ 100yds.
Good luck!

I had a blast with my carbine in the 100-150 yard area. At 200+ yards the golden bullets were only going through the front side of a two liter full of water, but you could still tell you hit it. Might need a little 'Kentucky windage' out that far, but I'd say it will be a fun gun for your purpose. For now... Then you can get the Mini, just a little more wait. I'd get the takedown now. But I suck at waiting.

Congrats on the new .22. You have pics ?
22LR hasn't been very hard to find around here. I picked up 2 bulk boxes. One is 500 rds, paid $40. The other is 300 rds, paid $20. All hollow points.
Also had a 400 or 500 rd box of lead round nose but they kept getting stuck in my SR22. Sold those.
