Ruger 10/22 easily one of the toughest and best 22's on the market. They start out somewhere around $180 and can go up to about $240 for the SS Deluxe version with the normal sporter barrel some go higher. You can take the money you saved and get some accesories for it. There are more aftermaket products for the 10/22 then any other 22 out there. I love mine, it shoots great feels great and I haven't changed a thing about it.
Here are a few versions.
