Ya, the 10-22 sure is a neat little rifle. It's the first firearm I
ever bought; got it when I graduated from college. I gave my
stainless one to my son for Christmas this year and I my original
blued one waiting for my other son who will get it 2 years from now.
To fill the void, I picked up a .22 cal conversion kit for my Mini-14
(for $23 in a super-deal-scheme-special at Cabelas, originally
$130!). This makes the Mini-14 cheap to feed and keeps the wear &
tear low. I was surprised how well it works. I've run 350 rds through
it so far with not a single jam or misfeed.

At our local public range, you can get away with stacking clay
targets at the auxiliary range when the main range is closed 2 days a
week. We otherwise go to a friend's farm and plink in their junk pile.
I'll sometimes ride with a pistol and if I come across a random junk
pile in the boonies, I'll line up some cans, bottles, etc and squeeze
off a few rounds. Old appliances are fun to perforate too.
