Ruger 10/22 lvt... Input requested!

[Dog Doc]

I am just curious if anyone could give some input on the LVT. I have been trying to decide on a target .22 as a training rifle to improve my skills. I was really looking at the Savage Mk II TR, but then noticed the LVT. I couldn't find much information searching for any details. Do you think this rifle with some trigger modification could shoot as well as the Savage Mk II? The Ruger has a 20" barrel with the same twist rate as the Savage I believe.. This rifle is difficult to find on the Ruger website...It is under the distibutor exclusives and the company ia Accusport.
Just looking for opinions and any input is appreciated.

What is your main rifle? If it is a bolt action - stay with the bolt action.

The bolt action will likely be more accurate out of the box. If you have a bolt gun, try to get as close s possible with your trainer.

I shoot both semi-auto AR platforms (.223 and .308) and bolt action...
So... I got ahead of myself waiting for input and just bought the rifle in question... Ruger 10/22 lvt. I did look at the Savage Mk II TR, but it did not fit me well. What I mean by that is that I am a lefty, but am used to using right handed bolt rifles. The only ones I can use are the ones with enough of a turn down grip to allow the bolt to slide over my thumb. The Savage unfortunately didn't to this. I know everyone will say to get left handed rifles but I really like using the right handed ones... If they fit me well like my HS precision does!
So I will have to see how the lvt shoots and let everyone know. I am only out about 3 bills as I got a very good deal!Now I have to find optics!!
