Marlin 39 Mountie. You can take it down, it is accurate, and plus I just bought one from a great member here.

I'd want a ruger 10/22

[AK4me]

Id take my Ruger 10/22 and Mk III cause those are the only .22s I own. (besides my spikes .22 upper, But Id rather use the 10/22)

[q3131a]

10/22 or AR7 Explorer

[stitchnicklas]

my 10/22 ruger-it is set up in a archangel kit with full rails,mbus flip-up sights,and a eotech sight. also i have 6 hi-cap mags for it (legally) too...!!! i got 180 rds till reload time

[Lex]

M6 is a good choice too. It is so strong it can be use as a weapon to hit with.

[bombadillo]

I'd go Marlin 60 and a Mark III slab side because they work and I own them both.

10/22 or AR7 Explorer

I've had my 10/22 since the early 80's

just put the money on the counter today for the AR-7

is it the newest model? I heard that the newest model is grey and orange with room for 2 mags in there. If it's the new one can we get a range report, I can't get any info on the newest incarnation.

My personal choices include a Ruger 10/22, Ruger MkIII Hunter and a Maglin 981t.
Of the three I would pick the Marlin because it is just as accurate as the other two but holds more rounds.

My Marlin 60 w/peep sights & sling.

Actually................I bought a early Charter Arms AR-7 ( Still had the orig, box and instructions ) from another Cal-Gun member

[Seesm]

10/22 (super accurate even stock with no mods, semi auto, large capacity mags) = WIN

[Pyrodyne]

AR-7 and Beretta U22 NEOS. Beretta just released a carbine kit for the NEOS, haven't tried it yet. I once took my AR-7 out in the rain, it's quite accurate, easy to grip in pretty nasty weather, rain seems to have no effect other than making the target more difficult to see. My box of ammo filled with water and every round went bang. Mags are a little difficult to load in the cold.

A U22 won't let you down, it's quite reliable. Every FTF was ammunition's fault, every magazine issue was due to sticky fiocchi rounds (some sort of waxy substance made the rounds move slowly through the magazine too slowly).

I have to respectfully disagree with you. The AR7 and ANY semi auto .22lr can be finiky when it comes to ammo. I'd rather have a gun that will not fail when I need it most. Although, I'd love to shoot your AR7 sometime and compare it to mine. I really don't like the way mine shoots.

As far as the Neos goes, I worked at a range where we sometimes rented one. Yea, I said "sometimes". It had more than it's share of problems. I would NEVER consider it to be a reliable gun. I've never had major problems with a Ruger pre MK, MKI, II or III though.
