RE: .22 DEBATE
I have no first-hand experience with these, but if were to buy a premium .22 LR, I would have to decide between the Dakota 22, Cooper 57, Kimber 82, Sako Finnfire, or one of the Anschutz 1700 series rifles.
In the meantime, I really like my Ruger 10/22 with a Kimber of Oregon barrel.
