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.

Buy whatever you like. I’m a bolt guy. When I’m at the range I like working on accuracy more than mag dumps. So I would suggest a mk2G. But like I said, buy what you like.

Tbh I think I'm the same. I bought a TM22, and have an SKS, but there's something about manual action I seem to prefer. Taking my time, and trying to be as accurate as possible. TM22 is what I've been shooting the most since I've only had it a couple months, but once the novelty wears off, I'll probably go back to my cz457, and start buying more bolts and levers than anything else. Even before I had my PAL, I had a bolt action .22 air rifle, and I liked it a lot more than any semi's I used over the years.. Although mag dumping is fun. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø
