Savage are the most common option, their BMag range which they do in blued and stainless, standard and heavy barrel. They are pretty basic and the plastic stock is the biggest piece of shit. I've got std barrel blued which will be getting sold on now and just got the stainless heavy barrel model which also has a boyds stock option. I got a very sharp price from shooters world in gore and am in the process of getting a better stock from boyds direct as the factory upgrade was close to $500. Has a rotary mag similar to a 10-22. Nice little outfit with a dpt can on the end. Last outing saw to around 20 hares up to 200m. Ruger offer it as an option in the m77 but couldn't justify the coin for that. Ammo is easy to get. I think they changed the twist rate in the latest savage models to improve accuracy with the 25gn.
The most powerful rimfire in the world, Dirty Harry would definitely have one
