How many thousand rounds would you expect to put through a 10/22

I would expect 250,000 but I would not be suprised if it were half that.
How do you plan to clean?

hoppes 9, cleaning rod, standard stuff, just wondering how many times i can put a 500 round brick through it, 100k is what i was hoping to hear, thats a little over a dollar a brick for the gun, definitely cheap plinking

i would say atleast 100,000 if you clean every year atleast, but hey i clean mine every time i come home from the range!!! lol i love my stuff clean

I always clean my stuff as soon as I get home... No two ways about it...

After you wear out the barrel, you can find brand new, factory take offs for $10-$25. Then you should be good to go for another 100K! So, your second 100K should cost about $0.10/brick for the gun to shoot!

I just flush out the upper receiver and bolt with brake cleaner every few bricks and pull a bore snake through the barrel.
A good 22 barrel does not build-up or need actual cleaning besides removing the burnt powder fouling in the breech area.
The less stuff you push down the barrel, the better.

Ive probably got close to 3,000 rds through mine and hardly notice an accuracy change. although i dont shoot precision. But i did put on a bull barrel recently just because i got it for free.

I have over a 100K through my original 10/22 and barrel I got 33 years ago. Still going strong and still accurate enough that squirrels son't like it.

I've got at least somewhere between 30K-40K rounds through my 10/22. I bought it, then upgraded it with a bull barrel and new stock and some other goodies. In fact, the original barrel never saw a single cartridge.

Anyways, it's still a tackdriver. The barrel definitely doesn't need replacing.

However, 12 years later, I'm now starting to think of replacing it just because I'm in the mood for something new, not because it needs it.

Heresy. 10/22's almost never need cleaning.

[DocSkinner]

Although I don't own one, I wasn't aware that you could wear out a 10/22...

If Ruger and CCI wants to provide the gun and the ammo, I'm sure willing to try...

I have somewhere around 40,000 through my 10/22 that is over 20 years old and it is still a shooter.
