As as been mentioned, I don' t know why you wouldn' t want a Ruger 10-22... best .22 LR for the money. But I have a Marlin Model 90 that has been a good rifle... accurate and never jammed yet. I keep it clean and use only high quality jacketed ammo and that helps the dependablility a lot.

One of the strongest points of the Ruger is how you can accessorize it.

Get the 10/22. Our Marlins (bolt and semi) are more accurate if thrown.

Strobe:

Are your Marlin' s barrels bent? Exactly how far can you throw them?

They sure shoot like they are bent. All the dust they have been collecting would probably ruin the aerodynamics.:D

Just depends on what you are going to hunt with it. Rabbit hunting with a 10/22 or Marlin 93 lever is hard to beat and squirrel hunting with a CZ bolt is hard to beat.

I say get what fits you best. We' re not talking a custom rifle here. Most .22 caliber rifles will serve you just fine for what you can use them for. The Ruger 10/22 is easy to get aftermarket parts for. But why would you want a 300.00 .22 ?(after adding a few accesories) If you just want something to " look cool" . If you want an expensive, custom and very accurate 22 then buy a Kimber or a Cooper. And there is nothing wrong with the Marlins, they are not the largest gun maker in America for nothing. They sell more 22' s than most of the others combined.
