Always wanted one of those brownings. Good as I like the picture of the Browning the crow makes it. I hate them dang things and a dead one is the best kind. I have killed dump truck loads of them with a shotgun but never one with a rifle.

I hate Browing SAs and the first time you shoot one and a hot case gets ejected down your shirt sleeve you will too.

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
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Nylon 66...Loved mine as a Kid, wore it out. Wish they would reproduce them again, there is definitely a Market for them if they did. Sounds like it might be time for a "Request Contact" Campaign? http://www.remington.com/contact-usFound a working link and submitted my request!

Does your classic feed holler* points? Mine would not, out of either magazine. I traded it for a nice Ruger Bearcat that fed holler points, and everything else perfectly.  It was nicely accurate, and had a great trigger. Might want to try one again someday. *so named because they make stuff holler when you hit 'em

If you wore out a Nylon 66, remind me not to lend you any anvils!😱

If you wore out a Nylon 66, remind me not to lend you any anvils!😱 They are tough for sure!  But unfortunately no matter how clean you try to keep them, the Desert and a LOT of Rounds Fired almost everyday over many years of Hunting and Plinking will eventually make one sloppy to the point of concern. I would buy about 4 new ones right now for Family Members and a couple more very soon for the oldest two Grandkids. Really would like to see them start building them again! I dropped them a line about considering this option. More is better...

Seal-billy: I have owned, Hunted with and used just about EVERY semi-automatic 22 rimfire that has been available in the last 50+ years.
Including those made by:
Winchester in models 1903, 74, 77, 63, 190 & 490
Remington in models 24, 241, 66, 550 & 552
Marlins of several models
Browning
Weatherby
Volquartsen
T/C
Tactical Solutions
savage
Some of these latter listed semi-auto 22's were purchased on a whim or with intent to make a profit on them but never the less I shot them and gave them a "fun factor" and accuracy test.
In my experience NONE of the above listed 22 semi-autos I have owned measure up (all around) to the fun factor, reliability, accuracy, ease of loading and value for dollars invested to the Ruger 10/22!
You want an accurate, reliable, fun 22 semi-auto then buy, use and if necessary make a couple of MINOR additions to a heavy barrel Ruger 10/22!
I have NEVER found the accuracy of one of these heavy barrel Ruger 10/22's to be lacking in ANY type of field, small game or Varmint Hunting situation!
I have very few Rifles that I would NEVER consider selling - among those few are my heavy barrel Ruger 10/22's.
The answer to your question is, NONE!
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy I agree. I also just bought a 10-22T the other day because I've wanted one for so long. I've had some 10-22's that were extremely accurate and some that were absolute dogs!! One particular stainless model I had was a damn good shooter, so I threw it into a nice walnut stock and left the rest alone: Iron sights at 50 yards with bulk ammo: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/001-67.jpg) 10 shot group at 50 yards with scope: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/001-105_zpsb5e6a04b.jpg) I've had many different types of semi-auto 22lr's and the 10-22 is the best for my needs...

That's the nice thing about Ruger, they kept it simple... Taking it apart for a thorough cleaning was an issue. I would use spray cleaner liberal and blow it out good with a Blowgun then brush the Bore well and re-oil every couple outings. Although others might have had the same Jamming issues you speak of it happened to me very seldom if at all if I remember right. But my memory is not what it used to be either. lol Oh I see, you may have talking about the Marlin being a pain to take apart? The Remington wasn't a whole lot easier as I remember.

I never found Marlin's or nylon 66's difficult to detail strip and reassemble. Taking a Marlin apart for a thorough cleaning is so simple a cave man could do it.

I do love the 10/22 and it is the easiest to completely strip and clean. The Remington 597 is fairly simple too but the action rods require a little finesse, there is a trick to getting them back in with the springs on them. Once you figure it out its cake.
The 597 also has 2 action screws and is floated from the factory. Great little gun and it's cheaper than the 10/22. Not a lot of aftermarket support but some. I put a volquartsen target hammer in mine and the trigger is nice now, not perfect mind you but very acceptable. I may do the Mcarbo springs and lighten it a little more. Every couple of years someone else comes out with another aftermarket dohicky for it. Tech sights make a peep for it now, I may try those.

If I am going to shoot groups at the range at 50yards, the Shilen select match stainless steel bull barrel with Bentz chamber and target 22LR will get small groups. But if I want to pop a coon in the brain in the back yard at 10 feet with a CCI CB Short, the 10/22 will not do it. Go to a 1960s Rem 550-1 semi auto or a Rem 572 pump or a Win 61 pump. ![[Linked Image]](http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx220/ClarkM/coon%2013.5%20lb%20female%2011-28-2015.jpg)

I had a 572 pump. It was the most inaccurate. 22 I ever owned. I'm sure I got a lemon.

I've shot all the others except the TC Classic.
I go back to the 10/22 every time. It gets the job done, simply.
