I've had mine for about 4 years and thousands of rounds now. Upgraded it with an ATI Fiberforce stock, TechSight sights and a Garand style web sling. I use it regularly for Appleseed clinics, Steel Challenge and NRA Light Rifle competitions, general plinking and training new shooters. It has never failed to go bang (unless ammo related) and just keeps running even though it only gets cleaned - occasionally. Accuracy is excellent, the trigger is better out of the box than a worked 10/22 and mags are readily available and cheap. These guns are the best kept secret out there. What's not to like?
Forgot to add. It eats every kind of ammo I feed it except it doesn't much care for Remington Golden Bullets. They cycle well but the primers and it's firing pin don't seem to get along.
