My 10/22 is one of my favorite guns. I'll never sell it - my son can have it when I pass away in hopefully 50-60 years.

I appreciate the witnessing, but man this video is so off the mark. Modifying a 10/22 is not gunsmithing. In fact, it’s the easiest to work on and learn how to tinker. All 22’s carbon up. You understand that guns don’t need to be cleaned as often as people think. You made a lot of general statements but had no factual data to back it up.

Why I don't recommend Math Geek - based on previous views of his videos. I didn't watch this one because I don't want to give him any clicks.
1. Poor video quality 2. Boring videos 3. Content of videos does not give any valuable info or entertainment value. 4. Gives terrible advice 5. Mathgeek spams the THF with a ton of videos and offers nothing else to the site.

I'm not going to click the video. I can tell by the title it's click-bait.
Let's get some facts straight though...
Marlin 60 started production in 1960 and there's over 11 million of them. Ruger 10/22 started in 1964 and there's about 5 million made. I have versions of both and I'm not picking a "winner", just wanted to make sure we all know there is more than one way to judge success.
The OP however? Just let people be people. He might be wrong and have unappealing videos but he has the right to his opinion.
Pass the gravy.

Yup....just because he posts crap doesn’t mean that you have to open it..... You know what they say about opinions....some are just more full of crap than others....his could be sold as fertilizer, but Jes “my” opinion....

Ok MathGeek, and I'm being VERY open here, what DO you recommend?? Our family has an Izhmash Biathlon Basic that feeds and functions well and is very accurate. I recommend it. All the Winchester 190s I've seen have also fed and functioned well. Accuracy is so-so with some.

This dude post all kinds of dumb chit on several sites. How to fillet a crappie properly which takes 3 times longer than actually filleting a crappie. Now this foray into firearms. And he picks the number one selling semi auto .22 of all time. And probably the most trouble free semi auto of all time. I clicked on a couple of his videos early on but don’t even look at them any longer.

All the Winchester 190s I've seen have also fed and functioned well. Accuracy is so-so with some. Thank you for the reply. While both of those are fine rifles, you posted in a HUNTING forum, and neither of those are generally available, let alone for the price of a stock 10/22. Your review/'recommendation' might be appropriate on a 4H website somewhere, but unprefaced certainly 'out-of-wack' here. I bet if one spent the $1000 cost of an Izhmash on a 10/22 setup by someone who knows what they are doing they could obtain equitable performance given same ammo budget for target shooting. Really an apples to oranges comparison, not properly prefaced. The Izhmash is not even a semi-auto. Plus every rimfire is ammo picky - I bet a stock 10/22 shooting Tennex would easily outperform your Izhmash shooing 'off the shelf' Thunderbolts. Even Olympic shooters carefully test multiple lots of highest-quality($$) target ammo, then buy their entire season supply from just that one lot that shoots best in their exact rifle, so as to not risk lot-to-lot variances. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I think you severely missed the mark here.

All the Winchester 190s I've seen have also fed and functioned well. Accuracy is so-so with some. So you recomend a toggle bolt Russian made rifle that from what I have read is no longer imported here with no new mags available that the price for one has doubled in the last few years and no new mags or parts. Expecting a semiauto 22 to be as reliable as a toggle or turn bolt action 22 with lubed target ammo says something.

I shoot all kinds of cheap ammo with this one. It rarely jams, but the occasional jam is just part of shooting a .22.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I think you severely missed the mark here. Yes I’m one of those people. I’d put my 10/22 up against him any time. It is built with all KIDD parts besides receiver and bolt. Shoots SK Long Range into one hole at 50 yards and I shoot it out to 450 yards. It hangs with the bolt guns long range I was tied for first until the last stage at the long range shoot. I ran out of elevation but now run a 50MOA rail.

Kyle that’s impressive. My CZ trainer is accurate but 450 that’s impressive bud! I’m wanting to get a vudoo but they are pricey.

To me that is = to saying my KMW full build is more reliable than a palmetto state AR-10. Apples to oranges.
