I have been looking at the Ruger 10/22 the last few weeks. Oddly enough when I went to pick up my shotgun today they had one slightly used with a nice scope and a harris bipod for like $170 IIRC, Is that a good price and how good is the .22 rifle caliber ??

I mean will it take someone down in 1 or 2 shots to the chest ? Or head shots only ?

How about the distance a .22 can travel out of a rifle ?

They are really nice looking rifles IMO, and IIRC they have 10 and 20 round mags right ?

It's also something I could have my son use in a couple years, he's only 4 and a half right now so I'm thinking when he's 8 or 9, not really sure how old a child must be to go to the range though.
