Buy recommendations Mav88 or Ruger 10/22

I have a spare bit of cash I’m looking to spend on a small game gun. No one in my family hunts or even owns a gun, so I have no one to ask in person unfortunately.

A 10/22 and a security/field combo for a mav88 both cost around the same and I eventually would like to own both, which one would give me more utility for game birds and rabbits?

Rabbits? I'd use a 20ga. Mav88. (Personally I shoot a Rem. 410.) For dove a 12ga would suit you better. Squirrels? The 20 ga. but again I use the .410. Using a .22 shooting up at anything is dangerous if you miss. We use dogs for rabbits so a .22 isn't feasible on running game.
