Never cared for the A-Bolt design and wouldn't consider purchasing one - too many other options I DO like.
That said, I have a Brwoning B92 carbine in .44 Mag which I think very highly of as well as the one of the best .22 semi's ever made, a Browning .22LR Semi-Auto Take-Down.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
