Although i own a Ruger 10/22 i don't like it because it feels like a "beached whale" in my hands!!! Maybe that won't bother you??? I do own several different 22's, but the 22lr i use the most (rifle) is a Remington 552, it's very accurate, well made and is slim and trim! I think it's a better 22lr than the Ruger, but to each there own!

The 22lr handgun i use most is a S&W model 18 and i've drug it all over and shot a ton of small game with it!

Anyway, there's lots of choises out there, hit some gun shops and see what one you like best!!
