Well a bit more info would help such as the shooting distance, what make of ammo, use the mag or load single round at a time. I bought my late daughter a 10/22 when she turned 16 back in 1998 and it is one of the special "pink" models Ruger made for breast cancer awareness promotion. It has a different barrel than the run of the mill 10/22 rifles and after doing some internal work such as polishing the feed ramp and mounting a Chinese scope I bought at the now-defunct Delmar gun show she could make 5 shots touch at 50 yards and less than 1 inch groups at 100 yards.

Along with the feed ramp polish, I lightened the bolt slightly and added a molded cheek piece on top of the rear stock. That was adjustable for height so I could shoot it too. As noted, there are great user groups for the 10/22 and they cover most everything you can do if you have the $$$$ for the bits and pieces.

Some additional things we did was to get a couple muzzle adapters since the front sight is silver soldered in place and we added a flash hider but it made the shots much louder? Also tried to see how quiet an oil filter suppresser can be and the only noise was the bolt clicking. Took it off right away of course.
