Just picked up a 10/22 Compact for my son for Christmas.  Here is a preview.  More to come after he gets it and we take it out.

Here's the update with range results:

Excellent choice. This is a Christmas he'll remember forever, and he'll  pass it on to your grandson some day.

Nice!

So how does he like it? Has it got to shoot it yet?

He likes it at the short range (i.e. pistol),  He wants a scope on it for the longer range (50 yds.).  I'm thinking the irons would be fine out to 25 yards, but where we went to shoot was either 30 ft or 50 yds.  I have a Simmons 22 Mag scope on order.  After an 11% off code and a $30 rebate it will cost me a whopping $15 bucks so I figured we'd give it a try.

My sons and I have had a chance to shoot it some more and evaluate the accuracy.  Find the video here:

I agree.  They are handy little carbines.  My son loves his with a Burris Fastfire on top.  I actually prefer them over the standard version.  

I just wish they were more prevalent.  Ruger must make them in small batches.

Cool deal but one suggestion... I strongly suggest you find some lower rings so that you can mount the scope lower and closer to the bore of the rifle. That way your son will be able to get a good cheek weld on the stock and keeping his head properly aligned with the scope.
