Short, Long and Long Rifle...well these days it more like CB's and Bulk LR.

I had a Mod 60 as a kid - it was very accurate. (reply)

Used to take it out of the stock and swish it around in a bucket of gasoline, then use compressed air to dry. I've graduated to brake cleaner these days. 22lr ammo is nasty.

"for my grandkid", yeah, that's the ticket! (reply)

Can't hardly go wrong with that.

Good to see you posting Harry.

Of course, I am going to have to shoot it a lot to make sure it is set up perfectly. And, also to let her grow old enough to have it.

One thing I am happy about it that it is more accurate than my old 10/22. My old one is absolutely, completely, and unbelievably reliable. But it has never been as accurate as any of my Marlin's, even a cheap Model 60. Not bad enough to get rid of, but not accurate enough to get the nod when I go shooting small game. The problem with the Marlin 60 though, was that it was accurate, but after about 125-150 rounds, it would start having various feeding and firing problems until it was thoroughly cleaned. Not nearly as reliable as the 10/22.

This one seems to have the best of both worlds. Accuracy and reliability. I am glad that Ruger has learned how to make them after 50 years.
