Volquartsen!

I voted Marlin. They're accurate andoperate reliably.

Best? For What?
Cooper.
For a kid? no. Then I would go with a 10/22 loaded one shell at a time.

Can't answer a simple "best for?" without know what it's "best for" entails. Range plinking, hunting, target, competitive shooting?

I have to agree with Maine Shooter as without knowing what you are being the best at it is difficult to say the least.. Although I choose other in relation to growing up I used a Springfield that taught me how to shoot. It was a single shot bolt action with a part on the bolt you had to pull back in order to shoot. Shooting one shot at a time you learned how to make it count.

My Marlin 60 is still running like a top. Dad got it for me when I was just a baby. Been shooting it for darn near 20 years. They're a little different now. The front sight is hooded, the bolt handle is rolled steel instead of forged, etc. Still good guns.

Not a good question! Too many variables. The Sako TRG 22 is the best production 22. But who wants to spend $2500 for hunting or plinking. So to answer the original question, the Sako TRG 22. Best reasonably priced plinking or hunting rifle for me is the Ruger 10/22. Best hang in your truck window rifle is the marlin 60.

Browning Buckmark for my purposeshehe

I'm a big 10/22 fan, though.
