As some of you read in this thread, I attended a Project Appleseed event last month with my AR15. Spending a weekend getting to know my AR great in that I needed the experience with the platform, but part of me wished I had a .22 like most of the other guys so I could focus on the training. Since then I've been looking for a 10/22 to affordably work on the principles we were taught in the class and take to the next Appleseed event I attend. I've also believed for a long time that a 10/22 is one of those guns everyone should own (along with the AR15, Glock 19, and Remington 870 
).
My plans at this point are more or less the same as most of the 10/22 builds I see; a reliable rifle accurate from a bench or prone and portable enough that I can take it hiking or hunting if need be. I understand these jack-of-all-trades type builds might not master any one thing, but I think that's fine for my first 10/22 build.
After the class I told my buddy about my plans for a 10/22, who immediately went out and bought one, along with a Tac-Sol barrel, the X-22 stock, and various Kidd goodies. After shooting his my itch grew stronger, as they do. Despite wanting a blued receiver, I purchased this stainless model when it popped up the other day. As a bonus this one already had the Magpul X-22 stock I wanted, the Magpul M-LOK QD sling adapter, and a 16" fluted bull barrel from Green Mountain. My plan was to go with a threaded Kidd lightweight or Ultra Lightweight, as I eventually want to suppress this, but this should do just fine for now. Something tells me this won't be my only 10/22
