The only .22 semi I have owned is a 10/22 but I like it. I pimped it out with the Volquartsen trigger guts, a Green Mountain bull barrel and a Hogue stock. I like the feel of the Hogue much better than the original wood stock. Too heavy for a walking around gun though, especially for a .22.
I've always liked the looks and feel of the T/C Classic but I've read they have their share of problems. Too bad , it's a good looking .22.
After reading all the recommendations for the Marlin 60, I'll have to give one a look sometime.
