We like our 10-22 also but if its down to one rifle give me the AR 15. All round better for defense and hunting.
Have a 10-22 just like yours and a
Remington Nylon 66.Have always been
a bit partial to the Remington tho.
Both are great survival guns.
Getting shells for them is the only problem.
and now you can get a 10-22 that can be disassembled into two main parts.
