Need advice on .22lr

[u/Old-Guess6015]

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.

10/22.  Build yourself a custom if you have a gun buying problem, that way you wont be able to justify buying nicer and nicer ones as you go.  I have a grey birch LDR thats awesome but if i were to do it again id get a vblock system so that cleaning the barrel would be a walk in the park.   Will probably just end up drilling a hole out of the receiver so i can run my cleaning rod starting from chamber.  

One thing i will say, 10/22 jam alot and dont like being run with a dirty chamber.  So expect to clean it every 200rds or so if you arent using copper plated bullets.  (CCI SV is best for accuracy being subsonic, but the bullet isnt coated so they gunk up quick)
