I think at 6'4" you may find a basic 10/22 to be on the smaller side for you. Doesn't mean you can't/shouldn't get it. Plus it's trivial to drop some $ on a better stock. At one point they made a 50th anniversary edition that had an upgraded stock and sights. I don't know if it's still sold, but if you can find one it's a very good option to go with. That edition was designed with appleseed in mind, so it should be exactly what you want from a rifle.

10/22s are pretty forgiving with ammo. Try different brands and see what works for you, but most stuff is fine. A few states don't allow online orders of ammo, but most do. You might find better prices online, or you might be better off with a local store. Depends on luck and location.

The gun generally comes with 1 10 round magazine. You may find better deals online, but they're relatively cheap anyway (some guns have very expensive mags). There's a large variety of magazine sizes and shapes available. I live in a ban state, so I don't have advice beyond the 10 rounders. I've got a thing that clamps 3 10 round mags together that I find very helpful, but not really relevant if you don't have that limitation.

Just buy the tech sights. The 10/22 sights are worthless (excluding the 50th edition).

The basic 10/22s don't have any sling attachments (50th does). If you did upgrade the stock, cause you're a larger guy, you could easily get an aftermarket one that would accept a sling easier.

If you're just getting started shooting, cheap ear muffs/plugs and eye pro are fine and perfectly safe. If you get more serious, there's lots of options to blow money on. I use (and am a big fan of) ESS Crossbow and Peltor Tactical Sport. Electronic ear muffs are especially nice in a competition or training context.

You'll definitely want a bag or case to carry the gun. For events like appleseed you'll also want a chamber flag (bright colored cheap plastic flag you stick in the gun to show empty). Unless your state has specific legal requirements, storage is up to you. I'm pretty sure 10/22s (all rugers I think) come with a action lock, if you want to use it.

Sorry for the giant text wall. Hope it helps.

I use the MSA Sordin supreme pro-X with gel-cups, but they're a bit pricey. https://www.amazon.com/MSA-Sordin-Supreme-Pro-Electronic/dp/B00QV33ZRK

Others swear by something like these: https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Amplification-Electronic-Earmuff-R-01902/dp/B007BGSI5U

Peltor got some as well: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-Tactical-Sport-Earmuff/dp/B000Q04MRG

I like the Sordin because A) They're comfortable, B) the profile makes them not be too much in the way for a proper cheekweld, and C) I think they have pretty damn good sound compared to the Peltor that I tried (it's easier to distinguish sound direction I think).

(I like the title change, thanks for taking my feedback!)

My review: I ordered three last time this was posted, received two very fast, the other was a preorder for the upcoming 3M replacement cups.

I definitely enjoy them. Like others have said, the glasses placement is kind of odd at first if you don't wear the ear pro the way Noisefighters recommend, but once you do, it makes a nice seal without glasses uncomfortably getting in the way.

While I personally prefer these with these over the Sightlines with the HL earpro (maybe my mind will be changed when the 3m ones come out!), as they create a seal on glasses very nicely even without the relief cuts, the Sightlines are still much cheaper and feels like the exact same comfortable gel material. The Sightlines are definitely worth the money, and light years ahead of the stock cups.

3M Peltors are the best but they're a touch pricey. Howard Leights are almost as good and they go on sale quite often.

comtac IIs are discontinued

nm try the Peltor tac sports. The military/police Peltors are going to be way outside of your budget and you dont need prc153 hookups anyways. Your best bet is still to just double up with plugs and muffs, electronic muffs were designed to be used along with plugs if need be. If you get the peltors get the gel ear seals. They conform a lot better than foam seals and are a lot more comfortable to boot.

Skinny, slight dip out near the bottom. Looks like a peltor design, maybe these? The ones in the link look a bit too thick to be the same ones in the photo but it does look like they're a peltor design. I personally own a pair of the shotgunner muffs, they're pretty awesome.
