Savage, Ruger, or Marlin in a 10/22?
Does it matter? I am looking at the Marlin 925C and the Savage Mark II Camo.
http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/BoltAction22/925C.asp
http://www.savagearms.com/markiicamo.htm
I like and have heard good about both. Just wanted more input. About the only big difference I saw was the Savage had a banana shapedmagazine that held 10 rounds, and the Marlin had a 7 and straight magazine.
Are there other magazines that can be bought besides the stock ones that come with the rifles so this is a non-issue?
Is the any disadvantage to getting the camo versions of weapons?
update: I also saw this one so I threw it in even though it's not bolt action (I still don't know which is better):

Thanks.

Hard to beat the Ruger 10/22. It's kind of like the old Chevy 350 V8.

The Ruger 10/22 is cheaper and lighter, which I did like. The Savage .22 that I held (several of them) were much heavier than I expected, at least compared to the Ruger. I think the Ruger was around $180. I just looks cheap to me and I don't mean that offensive. I'm willing to change and appreciate the weapon.
I read two other things that interested me. One was a guy who had a kid that couldn't do the bolt for whatever reason. I didn't think they were that hard to use, but I'm older. The other comment was that gun X, don't remember, magazine dug into their back while they were carrying it. That could move me towars the Ruger because of the smallermagazine form factor and the easy of not having a bolt.

you will love the ruger if you get it. My dad bought one years ago, then when I was born bought it as my first birthday gift type deal.... I've been shooting it constantly since I was five. I have no idea how many rounds have been put through it, and it is still dead accurate. Just got a squirrel with it on tuesday from 35 yards, right through the head. It is not only a great hunting rifle but it is so fun and cheap to shoot! Go with the 10/22~!

My vote is for the ruger 10/22. There's a ton of aftermarket products for it on the market,you'll never wear it out,very reliable,you can get extra capacity magazines for it,and you can personalize it any way you want.

no, I love bolt action, and have a few .22's that are bolt. But You will love the 10/22. To me, for the price it is the best gun I have ever bought. I can shoot it all day for cheap. If you want, you can basically customize it as far as your wallet will let you. We have three in our house right now, and I am thinking about buying another one and putting a hand crank on the trigger. it is just the best .22 out there for the price...and it is very accurate out of the box.

just so I get it right. It's just called Ruger 10/22 right? I called the local store d i c k's sporting goods and they said it was just called the Ruger 10/22 with no other model numbers and it was $199. Thanks.

I vote Ruger 10/22 as well. I have 5 different .22 rifles (bolt, pump, and auto)and the 10/22 is my favorite butI have tricked it out too. Thats the other thing I really like about the 10/22, they have literally a ton of after market stuff for them...The only thing left stock on mine is the action and it too has some springs and pins in it....
