What's your favorite .22?

[Wildcard777]

I have an older marlin 70 that's been great up until this last year. Time for a new .22! I'm on a budget and don't wanna spend more that $350. I've been thinking about a marlin 60ss tube fed or a Remington speed master. Any thoughts? I've shot the 10/22 and wasn't impressed.

I have or have had several older Marlin 60s. Great rifles.

According to the folks on RimfireCentral who shoot them a lot, the new production guns aren't as good as the old.

My Henry goldenboy 22lr!

I saw a Marlin 60ss in Wal-Mart the other day with a brown laminated stock and cheap, matching 3/4" scope for well under $300. I was sorely tempted to pick it up just for a loaner to take kids shooting.

I wouldn't trade it for my Savage FV-SR though.

What are you planning to do with the rifle? Target shoot? Squirrel hunt?

[Wildcard777]

I mostly target shoot with it at various ranges. I use my AR for shooting things with legs.

For target shooting, I recommend a Savage MKII. http://odcmp.com/Sales/22commercial.htm

I have the one with detachable magazine and it is a shooter for the money.

Good call on the savage. The accu- trigger is pretty nice.

J C Higgens Model 31. Old enough to be on Medicare and fun to shoot.

For open sights:
Remington Model 550.

Hunting with a scope:
Ruger 10-22

The other day, I found a 100-round box of CCI LR with a price tag for $1.89.

Oh well....
