I have a Remington Viper 522 and that thing is junk, too long to use as a paper weight so it just sits in the cabinet. I wish I had kept my 10/22 but as I was getting older (and I thought wiser) I decided it was a baby gun. I now own a very nice Henry lever action .22 that I shoot probably more then anything I own. And I have some neat stuff, cheap to shoot and fun to take out to the woods for squirrels. May look into another 10/22 I wonder if they still have the stainless model?
