Buy recommendations Need advice on .22lr

Hey everyone I am planning to buy my first .22lr. I have narrowed down my list to Ruger 10/22, Ruger American.22 lr and Savage Mark 2. I am afraid to buy a semi auto as they might just ban it. I need some help with choosing the best out of three. If you have any other better recommendations within same budget please let me know.

Get a 10/22. Lots of aftermarket support, great platform to learn on and you can sink 50 bucks into it to see a quality of life jump or 500, it's the one rifle I put in my range bag every time.

You can't live in fear over bans, just buy what catches your eye.

Bonus tip. If you get the 10/22, get a MagLula speed loader. You'll thank me later.
