RE: best .22 for the money
 

Thanks for all the responses.

Problem is (and I definitely should have mentioned this when I posted, but I only just did the research) most of the weapons listed are semi-auto, which is illegal in my state.

Also, does anyone know why semi auto .22s seem to be the cheapest models? Doesn't make sense to me.

RE: best .22 for the money
 

I mentioned the Marlin 980V. It is a bolt action rifle, and a great one at that. The bolts are usually a bit more expensive beacause they are usually more accurate them a semi, and because the bolt itself and the mechanics behind it are more pricey than what makes up a semi. Heres a link to the specs on the 980V. . .
If you do decide on this rifle, im sure you wont be dissapointed by it.

You didn't specify if you wanted an inexpensive gun or a good quality one.

If you want inexpensive get a Marlin or Savage. If you want to spend a little more then get a Ruger 77/22. If you want top of the line Cooper or Kimber. I have a Browning A-Bolt .22 and love it. Too bad they don't offer it anymore.

oops!, Sorry I missed the part about you being on a budget.

Get a Marlin! The micro-groove rifling they use is great for .22's
