aftermarket accessories will be much, much harder to come by
If you already have a 10/22, would it be better to spend $300 upgrading it?
I'd love to hear from someone who's owned a SA-22, as I've not been able to find a ton of first hand reviews of them (as opposed to, say, a 10/22 or Marlin 60).

"....you know, a classic design that's stood the test of time and could without reservation be your one and only .22 if need be. Something easy to find parts for, easy to fix but not prone to issues, not crazy expensive but not "cheap", accurate enough within reason, etc.. So far, that criteria has led me to some great weapons that I have no reservation owning, so I'm hoping I can land on an equally cool .22 with that same approach.
I think he's talking about a Marlin 39A.
Why the Remington over the Browning? Traditional appearance and handling, I think. Also, since it's not a takedown and it has a high comb, it would be a much better gun for a scope.
