I like about anything better than the ruger 10-22. They just don't fit me for some reason or the other. Without a scope, I can't get down low enough and scoped they feel awkward. Not knocking them for others, the just don't fit me. My all time favorite is the Nylon 66. I bought a used one in 1965 and put it through hell, on purpose, just to see if it would do as advertised. It did, and more. Toughest rifle that I have ever seen. miles

Love my old Nylon 66!
My second choice would be my old Marlin Model 60 Carbine with the short barrel.
I love tube fed .22's. I hate magazine fed .22's!
