I handled a Rossi bolt action 22 magnum rifle yesterday, less than $200 brand new. Just wish it had a wood stock

Ok not a rimfire guy, other than dispatch a animal in a trap, squirrels, and one coyote that was my only thing i shot with a 22 mag ( Savage plastic stock wonder) I am in the market for a real 22 mag just to have for nuisance control and shoot for the hell of it. The savage i have is really accurate, threaded for my noise reducer, but the action is like standing next to a rock crusher when you run it - what is the best "real" 22 mag rifle - old Rugers? I have even looked at the lever actions before? Not trying to hijack the thread but not a rimfire guy as of yet. Thanks! Marlin has always made good 22 WMR rifles Always thought one of their SS laminate models with the tube magazine would be the schizzle for a utility gun. Don’t care at all for the ones with the dangly box mags. +1. Oh, the ones that got away still haunt me. Years ago, I was at the local pawn shop which had a tube-fed Marlin SS 22 Mag with beautiful laminated stock. It was in great shape and, as I recall, the asking price was reasonable. At the time I did not have a 22 Mag rifle or ammo, so I did not buy it. I regretted it later but the Marlin was long since gone by then. I have not seen another one for sale locally since then. I really don't mind detachable mag fed rimfire rifles (I currently have 2) but I do like the balance of a tube fed rimfire (as in an older Marlin 60, which I also currently own).

Forget the .22Mag, forget the .22 Hornet (maybe a K-Hornet?!)... here's whatcha need... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hjP9d0zz/20230501-154836.jpg) .22 Remington Jet Magnum!! I do like the suggestion of the 5mm Remington Mag!! Have one of these and love it too..., I do like the strange calibers!
You make a noise..., Mr. Forty-Four makes a noise, and his five little friends run a lot faster than you do!
