I own a fine .22 rifle, the Ruger 10-22.

This is it.

It is a heavy barreled, Hammer Forged, with a laminated stock.

It is a great and very accurate shooter.

The Hammer Forged barrel has a great crown and the exterior of the barrel has a "swirl" type finish.

One of the secrets of accuracy with any rifle is to have a high quality scope.

This is mine.

It is a Leupold VARI-X II, 4 X 12 power, with adjustable parallux.

The parallux will adjust from Infinity down to 25 yards.

This is a big advantage for using a scope at fairly close ranges.

Most "squirrel hunting" ranges are 25 yards or less, and being able to focus at that yardage is a big plus.

Just a little advice for those that are interested... Always spend as much or more on your scope as you do on your rifle.

You will never be disappointed.

The barrel is free-floated all the way to the end of the stock, where it just slightly touches the barrel.

This seems to work well with this rifle.
