My fiance is wanting to get me something special for our first Christmas together and she has decided to get me a new 22 since my dad took the one he gave me at 15 back last year (he's a funny old man). I am looking between the Remingtom 597 and the Ruger 10/22. I like the versatility of the ruger but he Remington barrel is free floated.

So what do you guys think?
