Thread: Best Semi -auto 22

I don't see the point in buying a rifle then spending 2-3 times it's original cost to make it do what it should in the first place. I spent ages on Rimfirecentral reading reviews and the majority of those that had a Ruger and a Marlin in the cabinet would grab the Marlin for a hunt or target shoot, but grab the Ruger for fun/plinking/blinging.

those marlins have long single stack mags right?
i still fully believe that the 10 shot rotary mag was the best thing that ruger ever done, everything else is ok/poor/good, but those mags are great
