My current favorite semi-auto .22 is a Ruger K10/22-22, Wal-Mart special, with a 24" GM fluted sporter barrel.
If you want a reliable, but less accurate, rifle, the Remington Nylon 66 would be a good choice. They feed flawlessly and as long as you clean the powder residue off the bolt/barrel interfact every 1,000 or so rounds, as long as there is ammo in the magazine they will feed, fire, and eject.
If you like rifles that feature blued CM and walnut, the old tubular feed Winchester 77s are good rifles. The clip magazine 77 Winchesters that I've owned, shot, or fixed haven't been nearly as reliable as the tube-feed 77s. They are kinda heavy and don't have the best triggers, but they are generally quite accurate.

I am a lefty and the Nylon 66 gave me a nasty flinch. It spits burnt powder all over a lefty shooter. A tuned 10/22 is hard to beat. The Marlin 60 is great, but the trigger is usually harder to tune. My favorite knock about semi is an old Norinco ATD, a knockoff of the Browning, that I bought new for $80 because it had a ding in the stock. It is an absolute tackdriver and is very light and compact.

For a .22 autoloading walking-around rifle, it's hard to beat a Browning SA-22.

Most accurate out of the box 22 Autoloader I have ever owned is a TC Classic.Sweet trigger.Number two is an old Browning BAR style made in Japan.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

Overall, it's hard to beat a tricked out 10-22. As a gun nut, I've always had to work on my guns and there's so much available for the 10-22 that it would have to be #1.
I had a T/C and agree it was accurate with a good trigger. That gun, unlike the 10-22, built up a lot of gunk in the action. The 10-22 design sorta segregates the fire control parts from the chamber. My T/C went down the road and for that reason.
I have a Nylon 66 and think it's a great .22. Those are very tough and functional rifles. My Walther barreled, Clark trigger, "worked on" 10-22 is more accurate and I like it more than any semi auto .22 on the market.
With all the aftermarket products available to the 10-22 shooter, one would be hard pressed to not have a gun that totally fills the bill.

I have a friend that used to shoot in the ?IPSIC ?. Whatever the initials, 22cal, metalic, silhouette comp. in La.
The vast majority of 22 cal rifles was RUGER 10-22.
I happen to like mine.

If money isn't an issue, hands-down, go with a Volquartsen. They are extremely well made and scary accurate! +1! Never owned nor shot a Volquartsen, but have handled a couple and know a few Volquartsen owners. Volquartsen's version of a 10/22 is a great little rifle! In both 22 and 17 caliber.

I love my Rem 597. Scary accurate. 50 rounds at 50 yards inside a silver dollar. (Scoped)
