Hey everyone. I have set up a range on the farm and have been practicing target drills for several months now with a customized 10/22. I went down to the local gunsmith to look at barrel upgrades and such. He plainly stated that instead of wasting a bunch of money on making the 10/22 a competition gun, I should invest in a whole new platform, either a Martini or Bolt action. I have looked at CZs, rugers, marlins, etc... Granted I have not shot either (minus a buddy's ruger bolt), but I would like some opinions. I am just wanting to get started in local matches and would like to be competitive. I am pretty accurate with what I have, just looking to get a bit more serious about it. Thanks.
