I have not checked current 10-22s out, so they may have gone down hill, but there are certain firearms that you buy due not only for their own sake, but because of the aftermarket support

Ruger 10-22 - .22 rifles
Remington M-700 - Bolt action centerfires
Mossburg 500 or Rem 870 - shotguns
AR-15 type lowers/uppers - may not be the best semi-auto rifle out there (in fact I'd say it's not - I prefer something with an op rod), but the aftermarket support....
