semi auto or bolt better?
I am debating between getting the marlin 925m bolt (.22 Mag) and the marlin model 60 semi(.22 lr.) i plan on using it for squirrel, coons, rabbits and other small game. 1st off.........what is more fun to shoot? semi or bolt? 2nd off what is more accurate?

I have a Marlin 60 and love it for small game. Some consider a bolt action more accurate,but the bolt simply forces you to take your time since you only get one shot, a properly sighted semiauto can be just as accurate.

Going by your requirements, go with the semi.
I have a Savage semi, don't remember the exact model #, But with an average rimfire scope I'll head shoot any squirrel I want. Lighter than a 10/22, inexpensive also. Super happy with it.
