Firstly, I'd like to apologize for asking a Ruger question on this forum but the people I've encountered here are some of the best around and I am hopeful for some kind of advice on this. I have a Taper Contoured 'Heavy' Rifle Barrel (.920 - .725) that I would like to fit into a Samson B-TM...

I was looking at 22s for small game hunting & plinking. The requirements in my book are reliability, accuracy, common enough to keep in parts/repairs and accessories, magazine fed and suppressible. Add a dash of SHTF consideration and that's me. I'm considering the Ruger 10/22. Opinions please?
