RE: Whats the Best .22 "HUNTING" rifle?
Simple answer. Model 82 Kimber(left handed). Followed closely by the old Remington 541-T. Or the left handed 581.
If accuracy is not paramount then I would go with the 9422, or possibly the Marlin lever action(39). The 10/22 is OK if it is a custom. The standard 10/22is not accurate enough, nor reliable enough. Tom.
