Gun Toys: Ruger 10/22 takedown

Figured I would weigh in on this since no one has reviewed this gun yet. 

How do you improve on a legendary .22?  Make it packable!  This is a great idea! 

The 10/22 was one of the first rifles I learned to shoot when I was in the indian guides (back when you could still call them that, but that is another post all together). It shoots straight, doesn't have a kick and costs about $.005 per shot. What more could you ask for? 

Ruger continues to improve on their classic designs, from the 10/22 to the Mark series plinkers.  The 10/22 was a great gun to take out into the woods, but has now become one that you can shove in your pack for the impending onslaught of squirrel zombies! 

This has made the short list of toys I would like to purchase in the near future, I will update once the first shots have been fired.  My guess is, if its anything like a normal 10/22, on target with about 200 rounds following shortly thereafter. 

Here is one of the few reviews of the 10/22 from Guns.com

Haven't done a gun toy post in a while, well check out this little bad boy from Ruger 22/45 lite.  I have a slight addiction to Ruger especially to their .22 pistols.  In my experience, they will feed just about any ammo you can find and are accurate as hell.
This is one smooth looking .22, the aluminum upper cuts down on weight, which was a downside to the Ruger Mark IIs , who needs a  35 oz .22?  The 22/45 lite has shaved the weight down to 22.80oz, that is getting close to a full pound less than the Mark II.  Looks like a great pistol for target or just plinking around the farm.
Only downside that I see to this pistol is the price tag (msrp $469), I am going to try and find a used one in about 6 months or so.
