Thread: semi auto 22

Marlin - Out of the box accurate, reloading mag can be rough on city thumbs, SFA aftermarket bits (if you like modding). Horrible factory trigger.
Ruger - Luck of the draw accuracy, nice mags, SHITLOADS (no, really, google that) of aftermarket bits. Even WORSE factory trigger.

Throw a scope on, go shooting - Marlin.
If you like to tinker and fiddle - Ruger.

Both go bang, both are fun.
Go to gunshop, find one that fits your shoulder and makes you weak at the knees. Thats the one you should buy
