I had been considering picking up a couple new versions, newly made AR-7s. But I’d probably rather if I had to get a 10/22 for not much more, if more at all. It can’t break down (the new breakdown versions are more than I’d spend) but for the accuracy, customization ability and larger mags I’d rather have that.
I’d like a 10/22 too. (Say that three times, fast!)
If I thought there’d be water involved I’d spring for the stainless version in the nylon(?) stock.
