[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5677935, member: 18110"] Normally when season first opens and the trees are covered in leaves, I use a shotgun. Then deer season opens and I give up squirrel till January. At that time, I start using a 22/22 mag as I can see across the woods. I've got a CZ 457 22/22mag varmint that typically gets used...but it's kinda heavy (not really that bad). I've been wanting to do more squirrel hunting throughout the season...so I needed an "intermediate" season gun... 😂 Something that is more of a plinker... lightweight, etc. I've had several 10/22s over the years, and personally prefer the marlin 60 for accuracy...but those aren't available right now. So I get on buds and start looking at 22s. Now don't get me wrong, I know 10/22s can be made to shoot...but replacing everything but the receiver isn't the way I am wanting to go. I wanted something nice... Almost ordered another CZ...maybe an American. Then I stumbled across this... Wow, this is what I was looking for. It is a Talo exclusive, Ruger 10/22 classic viii. Only 1000 made. Basic 10/22 with AA Fancy French walnut stock...complete with Schnabel forend. This is just my speed. It still hasn't shipped, but I'm hoping to have it by next week. I'm going to mount that Weaver classic rimfire on it...and slay some tree rats. This is a stock photo, not the actual rifle. Hoping I get good figure like this one. [/QUOTE]
