Best .22 LR for all around use?

[skies_and_eyes]

What are some good guns new/used that would be worth buying? I'm looking for guns that have a good rep, and also scope ideas? I'm in the market, and I would like some input. I would mostly use the gun for plunking and squirrels.

You really can't go wrong with a Ruger 10/22

Owned many loved 3 Yep the 10/22 because its one of the most DURABLE autos out there.I have 2 and mainly use them for screwing around plinking. Never been one for using a auto for hunting.No need in my mind

If I feel like playing tree rat sniper my Savage MKIIFV its n eye picker with a 4-12 power on it.The heavy barrel is tad over but the accu trigger is sweet.I benched it at a 75 yds and no squirrel escapes....

I started with a winchester single action BUT when the old man put a remington fieldmaster in my hands one christmas the cotton tails and tree rats were DOOMED.When we lived in AZ the jacks were no match for a box of stingers...

I loved that gun and when certain low life in Odessa MN stole most my guns I was crushed. When Pops passed away his fieldmaster became mine.

Those are my favorite's I have several others had em for year's put many many brick's through them all. I was bummed tho reading that some clowns in GOVT and some fools on this site think lead bullets should be banned. I can't imagine NOT being able to go plinking with my 22's. I guess some people grew up WRONG

Ruger 10/22...very good rifle all around--Accurate, durable. It's been everything I could've ever hoped for in a 22. I've had mine about 30 years now.

Ruger 10/22 or Rem 597.

Savage MarkII under 200 bucks for a bolt action, very accurate. Just got one for my father this spring. Loved the gun, would have bought one for myself had I not already had a marlin sq880. If you don't plan on doing a lot of shooting, don't worry about the bull barrel. The accutrigger seems weird, but it is really sweet when you start using it, no creep, just a steady trigger pull. Nice gun for the money and you get high priced or low priced versions. We got the low priced version and it still shot awesome.

I have a remington 581. I love this .22 because it lite weight and also has a nice long barrel on it. I got it for $100 with my grad money. this remington is a bolt action. I love bolt action .22 because you have to think about about that shot because you just can plink off a another round right alway. but the ruger 10/22 is a sweet gun. My friend gave a a ruger 10/22 charger for my birthday and I love that gun to dead. now back to my reminton. I have not been able to find another 581 out there to it might to hard to find that 581. but let us know what you pick

Another vote for the 10/22. Tough to beat!

Ruger 10/22

The standard version is a great gun.

The Target Model with the heavy barrel is an upgrade.

I have the target model with a 9-3 bipod and a Leupold 4-12X scope.

It is great for plinking and killing woodchucks.

The target version could be a little too heavy to haul around the woods squirrel hunting all day.

Ruger 10/22, own a couple.. great guns!

[skies_and_eyes]

Hello,

I got a gun but it was not the Ruger 10/22..sorry everyone. I got a really good deal on a new Mossberg 702 Plinkster with a Barska 4X32 scope thrown in. I like it so far, now to get that scope sighted in better, or maybe it is just me. Thanks for all the input!

[broken_line]

ruger 10/22 with stingers = great gun for everything from black birds to cyotes in the face

If you're happy with what you got, that's all that matters.
