I had one and was very happy with it as a plinker. I sold it to a friend who loves it and takes it out regularly.

All that said and done, the Mosquito is no Ruger MK whatever, nor is it a Browning Buckmark.

I sold mine and picked up a Ruger, and I haven't looked back.

I would go for the .22 first, but in fairness, I just got my first can (a .22) and after shooting it a lot, and I mean a lot, I haven't shot this much in years, I know that I need more. So in fairness, I don't know that it matters that much, I mean I'll have another can within the year. So if its th...

My 10/22 seems to love the Remington Subsonics, cycles the action and everything. Also worth mentioning here is how much it hates the Aguila subs (not the 60 grain).

OR, I could take this, add a buttstock and VFG and then fill the hole where the screw goes to mount the receiver to the stock?
