I'm trying to decide what model of 10/22 I should buy to shoot steel challenge. Can some one recommend one? Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Guys thanks for the input. I was looking at the takedown model, but I'm not crazy about the takedown option. The only other one I have seen is the wood stock with the barrel band, not to crazy about that model either. I guess I need to go to the city to see what else is out there.

There's TONS of 10/22 flavors out there.

Takedown w/ plastic
takedown w/ wood
standard w/ plastic
standard w/ wood
standard w/ wood and no barrel band
standard w/ laminate
standard w/ wood mannlicher

Tapered barrels, heavy barrels, tension "light weight" barrels....

You can get some versions with peep sights, most will be "standard" type sights.

All that (and more) is just some of the factory options that are usually available.

I have never shot steel challenge so dont really know the specifics of a setup for one, but any 10/22 I've had I sanded the inside smooth (they get overspray inside the action and its kinda rough) and polish up the bolt...add an auto bolt release and run Ruger mags through 'em.

I'd love to add a "target lite" to my collection.

Have you held a target lite yet? I held one at Dongs a while back. Looks heavy with the shrouded barrel but man, it's one of those optical reclusion's or collusions or whatever. Really nice.

Right. Tons of options. Hell the M&P 15 22 sport.
