Just wondering,Do you want a semi? Bolt? Paper puncher? Hunter? All of the above?what is your budget?As said above everybody should have at least one 10/22.The remmie Speedmasters are hard to beat, Browning semi ? What can I say all time classic and favorite.Bolts? How about a Anschutz If you are looking for just a good paper puncher I have a Remington 540X I might part with.It is a single shot,Looks like something they use in a Biathalon(sp.)If on a tight budget look around for an old bolt action .You can get older Remington bolts for anywhere from $75.00 to "You have got to be kidding me" rimfire central is a good source of information JMHO
