I've got a pretty decent collection of long arms but it struck me the other day that I'm missing the most basic foundation weapon of all. A good quality .22 rifle. This must be corrected! Soon!
I had a nice little polymer knock around .22 but I gave that to a family member recently as a present. The only other .22s I have are a beat to pieces single shot bolt I don't really care for and a Henry .22 mag lever that I love. What I'm trying to decide on now is a nice .22LR. No single shots and I've never been a big fan of bolts.
The obvious starting point would be the Marlin mod 60 and 39a. I could also get another Henry as a companion to the magnum I already have. I haven't looked at anything with a box mag in this caliber yet so I don't know about those yet.
Things I want;
.22LR. Ability to handle .22 short nice but not required.
At least 8 round capacity.
Easy to reload.
Wood stocked.
Light.
Accurate.
Reasonably priced. (I'm not spending $1000 on a .22lr)
After that I'm open to suggestions.
