go for a ruger 10/22 very fun plinker, reliable, havent known them to be picky w/ ammo

[Mdavis0209]

winchester model 290.

10/22 hands down. Can be customized as much as you like to do anything a 22 should do. I've had mine for five years and only had it jam on my once when I negleced to oil the magazine after the first 500 rounds.

My vote was/is also for the Ruger 10/22.

[outdoorsman]

For me personally, I would say Model 60, because the 10/22 doesnt have the out of the box accuracy without modding.

[loner5667]

Personally I own 4 10/22's, everybody should buy one, then move on.

IMHO, I would say, 'save your money and find a decent Remington model 24 or a Winchester model 74'. Most can be scoped, or have receiver sights installed. You just can't get the feel that the old 22's had in a new rifle anymore, and you have to work too hard to get the same accuracy from the new factory rifles that the old ones came with.

I don't own any Marlin's, so I can't speak to their accuracy or reliability. They are the 'most' purchased 'new' 22 repeater, even more than the 10/22.

Wouldn't own a 'new' Remington (after 1970) if it was gifted to me....

And I've never heard of the Savage you listed.

We got a Brazilian-made Magtech Model 7022 a few years ago at Walmart for some incredibly low, low, price. I want to say it was $89. At any rate, it's been a great little semi-auto. It's short--practically a carbine--and has a nice hardwood stock. It might be a good choice if you want to enter the hobby cheap. Otherwise, I'd suggest a Marlin.

My 10/22 has a 16" ultra-lite barrel,wood underfolder stock,and with steel lip mags is wonderful.Might be one of a kind?

[big shrek]

Marlin if you want out-of-the-box accuracy...
10/22 if you want to go absolutely NUTS playing around with mods & whackey stuff. There are all kinds of mods, including taking two of them and attaching them onto a frame that turns them into a Gatling Gun when you get bored with regular shooting...

not only this mod, but like some one said earlier you can get the "Krinker Plinker" mod or even the MG42 mod for you 10/22. And if you ever happen to get 2 10/22's there is a mod where you drop the actions in and it looks like either dual MG34's or MG42's on a tripod with the anti-aircraft sights

I found what I was looking for. Either a Savage Model 62F or Mark II.

[JMcDonald]

I think the Marlin Model 60 is one of the best value rifles out there. One of the cheaper ones, and still one of the more accurate ones out of the box. From what I read 2" groups at 100 yards are almost normal with the marlins.

[schnittzle]

marlin 60 i love mine soo much i bought another there accurate and reliable
