Good job on the customization. 10-22's are just a fun rifle. Well, I guess any .22 is for that matter. I've got a plain Jane 10-22 but I did change out the barrel to a bull barrel and dropped in one of the RugerBX trigger groups. It does make the 10-22 trigger pull a little more crisp and less squishy.

This is the "compact" version. I hate the look of synthetic stocks, but they do save a TON of weight.

I've sometimes been going after predators with it, and it got old. Plus, the only "safety" is keeping the breech open.

I would not waste my time looking at a Mini 14. I have had a couple of them over the years, and the first one would shoot a best group at 100 yards of 4 1/2 inches. About 4-5 years ago I had a second one which at the time it was said that they had improved the quality control and they shot better than the older ones. I guess they were right, my second one shot 4 inches at 100 yards even after a lot of handloading work with different powders etc. And in addition to that it would not reliably feed factory Federal 223 with the 55FMJ. Any 223 rifle that will not feed that load is not for me. Better off going with an AR. I had an AR with the 20" heavy stainless steel barrel that would shoot about 5/8" at 100 yds.with my choice handload, but it was so darned HEAVY. Plus Mini 14s are about $800 now.

I've had a Mini-14 for years. (I'm just guessing here - Appx. 30 years, give or take) Shoots just fine.
