Cleaned it, took it to the range twice. It handled multiple types of ammo with only the usual few FTFs likely due to the ammo. It is comparable to other Ruger 10/22's in regards to the action, trigger pull and handling.

The good: 50th anniversary stampings, ergonomic forestock, ghost-ring rear sight and protected front sight. Stainless, optics ready, ships with an alternate rear-stock attachment with the higher comb for use with optics.

The not-so-good: The front sight dovetail and/or sight are not properly machined. There were burrs on the edges, machine marks, and after struggling for some time to adjust the rear sight, noticed that the front sight was loose and moving side to side with each shot. Took care of this with a drop of non-permanent locktite. There are no instructions anywhere (book, website, etc.) on how to adjust the rear sight. It requires an allen wrench. You loosen one side and tighten the other. You will need to do this often because no matter how much you tighten it, it will shoot loose and move from side to side. Also, the rear ghost ring sight mount (which requires a different allen wrench) will inexplicably work itself loose several times in each shooting session. So you will need to tighten that multiple times in each shooting session. Understand also that the rear ghost ring sight is not elevation adjustable.

Altogether, it is a very nice Ruger 10/22. I understand that this is their first 10/22 with ghost ring sights. However the manufacturer needs to make substantial progress on their front sight machining and fit. They also need to work on the mechanical functioning of the rear ghost ring sight and might consider something that can be adjusted, and tightened, with a screwdriver instead of two different allen wrenches. For the issues related to the front and rear sights, I have to give this gun an 'average' rating.
