The one funky thing is the lack of a stock. But with a little modification in your shooting style you'll be shooting 1" groupings all day with this thing. A definite good purchase in my opinion. - Erich Bruce,

I remember reading stories of the Nazi assassins using a .22 handgun for most of their hits. Also the Israeli Mossad and sky marshals carry a 22lr handguns (see http://www.tactical-life.com/online/tactical-weapons/israeli-mossad-22-lrs/ for a great article on this). It definitely should be treated with respect. Good point Bill. I remember reading stories of the Nazi assassins using a .22 handgun for most of their hits.

The Isreali army uses the 10 / 22 in urban warfare. I know of several police special services units that also use the .22 cal in thier list of weapons.

It's nice to hear someone else saying good things about the accuracy. It seems like most of the people I've talked to have issues with either the accuracy or the durability of the rifle. Btw, which model do you have? The one made by Henry (Henry Repeating Arms)? I heard that one is better. Hey Rick,

AR7's are a short range .22 only. You give up accuracy for size. I'd rather have a child sized .22 than an AR7 in my bag. Just my $.22 worth. ;-) Your 10/22 will out shoot an AR7 all day.

I've never heard of the AR-7 before. That's pretty sweet that you can store the barrel and trigger/bolt assembly in the stock. That's the most compact rifle I've seen. And at around $200 the price is right. I think I found my next purchase :) thanks Jimmy! Jimmy,
