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.

Savage Mk2 is fantastically accurate for the dollar. And it's a Canadian gun, too. Mine shoots almost anything well, it's not too fussy about what it likes. It's a good old standby that always works, always shoots, requires minimal fussing, and can always be counted on.
The American 22 looks really interesting, but I haven't fired one so I'll reserve judgement. But it looks promising.
10/22's fine, just, kinda yawn. Everyone has one. And can be a money pit, too. It's a classic blaster, but you just end up spending all your time loading mags and not really making each shot count.
All depends what interests you. Don't just follow the herd.
