marlin makes good fair priced semi's and bolts.

You might find a Ruger 10-22 for close to $200. I saw one at Wal-Mart for a little over that. If not, I would try to scrape up another 25 bucks or so and get a 10-22.

It is a great gun, and for the price, you can't beat it.

I bought a Marlin for under $200 at Wal-Mart to teach my kidsthe basics of shooting. It has a stainless steel barrel and a decent little scope. I love that little gun.

Don't go to bass pro in Toledo looking for a good price!!! I was there yesterday... they have a Model 60 in their used rack for $290!!!!

A basic Ruger 10/22 should run $180 at Wal-Mart. I love mine.
Marlin model 60 is great though my dad has one that's 50 years old and still shoots.
Savage makes good 22's as well.
Get any of these and you won't me disappointed.

For $200 you have a lot of choices. Get you a Marlin or the Ruger 10/22 and you won't be disappointed.

You know, that question comes up a lot, the thing I like about the 10/22 is that later when you get a little extra money you can upgrade the 10/22 with some quality stuff and really make the 10/22 a true shooter. I have one that I worked on for a couple years and now it will shoot a killer group at 100yds and is a blast to shoot, this is a super accurate gun at say 50yds for squirrel hunting with just about any ammo....

Remington 597. My girlfriend bought one the other day. It out shootsmy factory configuration 10/22. The have all the feeding issues figured out. Also, some people said the trigger was heavy, Her's breaks at 5 lbs. Not too bad for hunting. She picked it up with an extra mag for $190.

Mossberg makes the Plinkster in several versions and last time I saw one (a couple of weeks ago), a bolt action it was about $100 new.

i looked at one at the local walmart 189 used with a cheap scope. i went to walmart they had one for 125 not sure the brand. they had a real nice 10/22 with a stainless looking barrel though i do not think it was true stainless for 225 new

+1 on the comment about the Marlin model 60. I've had one ever since I was 14 years old. Great little plinker and very reasonably priced.

I just picked up a Marlin 925R from Ace Hardware for under $150.00. I put a 4X32 Bushnell scope on it ($35.00). It can consistently put 56 rds.(7rd.clip) of Remington Gold Bullets hollowpoints in a quarter sized target at 50 yds. Lots of key hole shots also. Just don't clean it too much. Has great accuracy out to 100 yds. Haven't shot it any further.

I'm a big CZ fan (got a 453), but with the $200 limit I'd go for either a Marlin or the 10/22 "IF" I was looking to upgrade the rifle later on.

Make your first shot count!

i had a marlin model 60 and a plastic part inside failed and it jambbed so i got rid of it. the 10/22 is great and a classic but the bolt doesnt hold open on the last shot if that matters to you. had a henry lever and it bent up rounds and didnt load smoothly. i dont think they have made the perfect 22 yet although i love my old stevens crackshot.

RE: cheap 22 rifle
