I am about to buy my son a Ruger 10/22 as a graduation present from 8th grade and for getting good grades. He made the honor roll and his marks went up a pretty good deal - he had been failing one or two subjects earlier in the year; so I guess the incentive I offered him was a good one. Yep, I told him if he achieved certain grades he would get his own (so to speak) Ruger 10/22.
Now I am wondering a thing or two about off the shelf Ruger 10/22s. We were planning on getting the All Weather model: Stainless, with the synthetic full sized stock. There is also another made for Walmart with synthetic stock but the stock is much thinner than the regular All Weather. Then again there is the stainless model with the wood stock. I know most of the plusses and minuses of wood versus synthetic stocks; but what I want to know is: Speaking practically (not from an academic stand) which of these models do you think is best for all around use and why. Please share your experience with them. Thanks.
Best regards,
