Tactical .22's

[Matt G]

I've been having the itch for a while now to get a tactical .22 for playing around on the back 40. My question is what should I do? I was adamant on buying a stock 10/22 and building one, but how much trouble and what's the cost? I've been looking at the S&W MP 15-22 and that thing looks clean for around $500. What's y'all take on the matter...... Build?or Buy? A 10/22 runs about $200 with another $150 or so for the stock, and no telling what else I'll need. By the way, I'm no gunsmith, so I'll have to pay somebody to do the work. PLEASE HELP!
