Are there functional differences between the standard 10/22, the tactical and the carbine versions? Are any of these more/less accurate? I'd like to stay south of the price for a laminate target version and I'm considering the rifle mainly for fun target shooting (possibly competition down the road.)

Buy the cheapest one you can find and then start shopping for the goodies

There's a laminated stock, heavy crowned "hammer forged" barrel, stainless model sitting at NGX, used, very attractive price...

What John said. Eventually the only original part left will be the receiver.

So no real functional difference, John? I really like the idea of adding on to these guns. Kinda' like the swiss army knife of rifles!

Definitely want new this time around, and Hoffman's has them for about $200.

Mike is right, just got done with my first 10/22 all that's left is the receiver. I went with purple, not too many purple guns out there.
