Rem and Savage .22's
#2
There was just a thread about the best 22 semi for the money. Every single answer was a Marlin Model 60. I don't think there is a better performing 22 for the money. If money is no object, than your answer will not be Remington or Savage.

+1. Marlin Model 60 is the way to go IMO.

If you are going to shoot it and never modify it the Marlin 60 is a great choice. However, if you want to modify it or tinker with it, the Ruger 10/22 is the way to go. The downside is that out of the box the Marlin 60 is often more accurate. You can make the 10/22 more accurate though. Either one of those two are the way to go for semi auto .22's. For a bolt action the Savage Mark II is the way I'd go. Remington just doesn't seem to have a very good .22 out there.

Rem 597 .22 is an absolute TURD
Marlin Model 60 is the one you want.
EDIT-
WHY did you even start this thread? Your other thread was unanimously answered with a single Make and Model of the BEST budget .22 on the market. Please don't come on here in a few days and start a new posting on why your Rem 597 .22 won't feed.

The savage is more known for their accuracy with their bolt action 22's. I cant say to much about the remington because i havent shot one, but you dont hear to many good or bad things so i take it their in the middle.
If you want to customize your gun in the future than definitely get the ruger 10-22.
If you have to have a semi auto than the marlin model 60 really is the best choice.
the mossberg 702 plinkster is also a nice plinker gun, just dont expect the accuracy to be great.

I got to shoot one of these of a friends. It shot decently, but the trigger was absolutely horrible. It also felt pretty cheap. It would be great for a truck gun or something that would get beat up, and they are cheap. However, you could tell it was no where near as nice as a Marlin 60 or Ruger 10/22.

The trigger on the 10/22 stock is too heavy for me too, and I' really am not crazy about it. However, it was a lot better than the Mossberg I shot. You can also get an aftermarket trigger pretty easily and pretty cheap for the 10/22's and turn it into a great trigger. I'm not sure about the Marlin however. The only trigger I've seen from the factory that I think is great is a Accu Trigger. That being said I've never changed my triggers, but I don't like most of them and a trigger job could help them out. I just don't want to have to pay for it so I don't have one done.
