It all depends on your use...a factory 10/22 for me? Useless...but, one with a TacSol Upper screwed into Cascade all sitting in a hogue over molded stock with a 3x9 on top very much make it "better" than it was from the factory.actually.. NEVER efficient from the factory... more fuel efficient than factory now... and each and every mod functions and improves overall capability of the vehicle... unlike MANY of the crap jiggers folks throw on their tacticool rifles. So actually... yes, the comparison works just fine.
If I hurt your feelings... please let me know I will delete my post.
edit to add... but only b/c you are a star wars fan... if you had a klingon for a profile pic.. i would continue to attack your character
