I have a bunch of 22s I love. But I recently picked up a Rossi 17HMR for $349 (new from GC), 18" barrel, threaded. Chucked a cheap scope on it and it shares the 22 suppressor. Sure the ammo is a bit more expensive, but hell it's point and click out to 120m (flat shooting), and has much better lethality at range. At 100m it can shoot MOA all day even with me behind the trigger.
This is mostly for bunny hunting, not so much plinking. My 22s have rarely been out of the safe recently. Just something worth considering.
