Gents,
I usually prefer bolt actions, but would like a semi-auto rifle in .22lr or .17 HM2. What is a quality semi auto, new or old? T/C made one a few years ago that looks nice (threaded receiver, nice trigger, steel receiver, etc.).
I've had a Marlin 60 and a 10/22 but didn't care for either. The 60 didn't seem as reliable as the 10/22, and forgive me but I don't like the Ruger! I don't like the painted alloy receiver, crappy trigger, barrel attachment method, etc. I don't criticize others for liking the 10/22, but it feels more like a toy instead of well made firearm (I do like Rugers in general though).
And, I'd rather not buy a 10/22 and replace everything but the receiver! Probably easier to start with a different receiver to begin with. I know the 10/22 can be a sweet shooter, but would like something with a little bit better fit, finish, and design if that makes sense.
Thanks,
Jason
