Thanks Katlagter. Spoke to them just now. Will see them January when they reopen.

Another option is KIDD, same price bracket as VQ

Hi
In my experience the 10 22 is very accurate, you need to play around and find the correct ammo, mine loves lapua centre x and shoots 1/2 inch groups at 50m with it. there are some tricks to getting the best accuracy.

1 replace the recoil buffer with a plastic one.
2 When you cock it for the first round, pull the lever back and let it go with full force other wise I found the fist shot was always low.
3 the triggers are not great but by "catching the link" you can improve the trigger release a lot.
4 keep the inside well lubed ( corrosion x) works best for me then they run reliably.
5 stick to the 10 round mags, the 30 round ones nearly always jam up especially when firing fast.
interesting enough, subsonic ammo shoots better that the fast stuff.

Where in SA does one get the plastic recoil buffer?

I nearly forgot to mention, in my experience, the 10 22 can be pretty hard on scopes, i had a lynx give up on me a few times. I think because the bolt slams home, it is a bit like a springer airgun. I eventually put a hawk airmax scope on and have had no problems since.

Thank you very much. I will contact them.

Just a follow up. I contacted Guns and Bows and they very promptly sent me the plastic recoil buffer. Actually three in a packet. Works fine in the 10-22 TD. I also booked the Ruger 10-22 TD as well as the 22/45 Lite pistol for a trigger job at MRS Technologies. Took just a week and both triggers are much better. Good way to start the new year. Thanks guys.
