I have "some" 22LR ammo put back. "Some" is a generic number because I'm not going to disclose the exact number amount online, but a comfortable amount.
They are good enough for hunting, they suppress very well too which could aid in hunting and going around largely un-noticed when you don't want to attract attention to yourself.
Shotgun, I would prefer birdshot, buck and slugs.

I had a 10/22 and hated it- but I also think I got a bad one, lots of problems with it. I recently bought a Marlin 795SS and previously a 70PSS, just for the breakdown aspect. I like both. They shoot great and are accurate and trouble free.Both use the same mag. Like Blue- dialed in and only 8 mags if the first is a little off! Now if anyone can recommend a good loader it would help.
Wow never heard those words put together like that.....ladytech777 said:I had a 10/22 and hated it-
John A. said:How about these:
"I have never owned or shot a 10/22."
True story.
The only (Ruger) gun I own is an old preban P85 Mark II. It's my beater pistol. I traded a car radio for it back around '96 or '97 maybe.
Another true story.

$99. Used and on consignment. Good lookin gun, no clue how it shot. I believe it was a bolt action with a magazine? I dunno. Just looked at the price and thought... "ok, I'd buy a .22 for $100"

Certainly entitled to your opinion but really?, look at all the firearms that have a huge aftermarket following….usually it’s for a gun that is worth putting the money into or in other words a solid base for something special or customizable. Even Stradivarius had culls and you got a cull, simple as that. Usually things that need a lot of fixes don’t get bought in the first place let alone develop a huge aftermarket following.

You are probably right Oli- I never met anyone else the did not like a 10/22. I really think I just got a lemon. If I ever think about another I'll have to shoot it before I buy. I think I would probably be better off with an older used one though.
