The standard 10/22 ranges anywhere from $299-$349, if you can find them in stock. I had to wait 6 weeks for mine to come in. Tacticool stocks are $100-$180, then you have the 16" barrel and muzzle break included. All said and done, it's pretty much where a tacticool 10/22 should be, all without having to bed the receiver in the stock yourself because Ruger already did it.

Overall, I thought longer term and why not?

I guess so... Better start saving up.
Oh! I dropped by my local gun/hunting store today, and I tried out a Savage Mark II - not sure which version it was. But that's one nice .22! The Mossberg feels fine without the cheesy 25-round mag - the mag rattles in the plastic "AR"-style housing and feels super cheap/plasticy. But it feels light and nowhere near as solid as the Ruger 10/22 or the Savage Mark II they had there. There was also a Marlin XT-22R and that was one nice gun... smexy with the stainless barrel.
