Default need help choosing a .22!

hey guys,

so i've been really itching to get a fun shooting gun recently, and I want to know in your opines which are the best .22's out there.

I would prefer a semi-auto rifle that I could customize to my own liking and thats about $500 or less. thx

Ruger 10/22. Possilby the most customizable .22 on the market. I believe they are within your price range. I have a Marlin 795 myself and have thousands of rounds with no issues. Cost $130 or so but any modifications would have to be custom. I think the Ruger is what you are looking for.

Ruger all the way! This is my Realtree Camo semi-auto 10/22. It is a very fun little gun!...

This one with the scope runs about $350...

Lock thread.

Ruger 10/22. With 500 bucks you can make a sweet one. You can find the gun for $200 all day then the options are endless

Since we are talking about 10/22's I don't know how many people know but ruger now has a 25 round clip. Steel lips, very nicely made and you can take it apart to clean it. I'm so tired of the butler creek clips.

Same as the rest of these guys. Get a 10/22 for $200 and then customize the hell out of it. You can get all sorts of parts for it to either turn it into a tack driver our you can turn it into a bad ass tactical style rifle. You can do a lot with one with $300 after original purchase.

Other then the 10/22 you could get the henry lever action 22.
I own both and they are bith fun as hell..
I haven't done any real customization of the 10/22 other than some f/o sights and a couple diff sized clips (got a couple 25 round banana clips but I saw a 100 round drum!! Would be bad ass!)
I haven't done anything to my henry but there's something about a lever action that I really enjoy.. grat gun for shotting around, damn accurate too..

no surprise by the reactions towards the ruger, but for me I never liked the 10/22. I much preferred the Marlin's I used and personally bought a bolt actions CZ USA 452 which I obviously prefer over everything else. Plus the ruger is UGLY
