I am new to a lot of gun "stuff" and am considering a bolt action to replace my Ruger 10/22. I don't particularly like Ruger's stance on some issues (but that is beyond the scope of this thread) and I would like to consider good reasons to, if there are any, replace the venerable 10/22 with a non-semi-auto .22 rifle.
Is there a .22 bolt action rifle with non-removable magazine (tubular or other) that you can recommend as a SHTF/Survival Hunting rifle? I prefer not to have a magazine to keep up with in the field, or that could have potential problems. I also want to add a scope to it rather than just iron sights, but wanted iron sights as backup option.
Biggest factor, if the rifle can meet those basic criteria (Bolt-action and non-removable magazine that doesn't protrude from the body), is that it has to be Cheap! I know everyone likes to say this, but I am really on a budget and can't afford to spend any more than $200 for the rifle, even selling my Ruger towards it.
Any and all information is appreciated as I am not really partial to any particular brand names, though I had a Savage .17HM2 a good while back that I liked.
Thanks to everyone!
