I have a bunch, but I find myself taking the savage mark ii all the time now.

 http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/MARKIITR

I have a MkII BV, a bunch of friends that have all shot it refer to it as "The Death Ray". At some point I should step up and put a real quality scope on it but the damn thing is zeroed in so perfectly that I don't want to mess with it!

Best of all, it likes cheap Armscor ammo!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I have an old Sears 22 that holds 7 rounds in a magazine. I like the ruger 10/22 though.

I just got my first 10/22 about a week ago I got to say I should've got one years ago. There easy to mod and really fun to shoot.

That's the one I want. I'll be getting one soon, hopefully. I've gone too long without a good 22 rifle. If I had a little more money I'd probably get a CZ.

Another option might be a .22 LR conversion kit for a centerfire rifle.  I've seen them for ARs and a few other guns.

I love my .22 pump remington field master the open sights are awesome. It's reliable and accurate. It's what I take when in treding thought the brush for fast shots. For the longer shots I have a S&W M&P 15-22 with a scope. Both ate awesome and both have their purpose. But the trusty pump is usually what I reach for. It really comes
Down to where and what your hunting. If its the thick stuff get something with open sights if it's something for more open Longer shots go scoped. Reuger 10/22 is jar to beat IMO

I love my 10-22 for shooting, but for hunting rabits and Grouse, i LOVE my Savage model 24 22lr upper barrel, and 20ga under. Best "hunting" gun built. IMO.

I've got a few 10/22's...one I just picked up a Hogue overmolded stock for and am waiting for my Tactical Solutions barrel to show up. I'm curious to see what improvement it will make over bone stock. I've done the trigger and all the little stuff inside like bolt buffers, extended mag release, etc. I'll post some pics when it's said and done.
One rifle I will never get rid of is a .22lr I grew up with. It's a Sears model 1 bolt action...single shot, no mag, no tube...1 at a time load. It shoots bug holes.

You can't go wrong with a 10/22. Affordable, Accurate and Reliable. Plus a ton of accessories you can upgrade your gun with. I have an older one I mounted a Bushnell fixed 4x scope and sling. The thing is great. Those take down models are awesome! I'm trying to talk my wife into buying me one for my birthday :)

I like the marlin mo: 60. Its a 14 shot tube fed semi auto. Its got a longer barrel then others and is very accurate. Shoot cci 22 lr minimag ammo and put a scope on it.

Nice guns, great barrel as ALL of the Marlin micro-groove barrels seem to be (I've got six or more...).  The Model 60 has been, for me, a pain to take apart and clean.

I like my Remington heavy barrel target rifle, but I don't hike around with it much.    :chuckle:
