“I have other things…”
As do we. But there are some jobs that are ideal for the .22. Inexpensive training is one.

For a .22LR I have a Ruger Mark II, a Remington Nylon 66, and two Marlin tube-fed bolt action rifles. My wife has a similar round-up.
The magazine of a 10-22 seems too complicated to be something that can last a long time or be repaired using hand tools. It certainly can’t be fashioned in the home shop. That is why I chose .22s with straight forward magazines.
