I have a preban Feather AT22 that is a great plinker. There are also a number of great upgrades (i.e. AR15 stick, barrel shroud, scope mounts, etc.).

I got my Marlin 60 for $170 or so, and have been very satisfied with it. I don't know if it will shoot shorts, but this is one I can recommend based on my experience.

+1 on the Henry. Low price but each one I've handled has an action smooth as silk and is as accurate as can be

Well I got one
I went and bought a Marlin Model 60. I got it used from the gun shop. Cheap, looks great and it came with a scope. Now I just have to wait 5 business days Stupid ATF, I didn't get delayed last week when I picked up another pistol, but I get delayed for a .22 rifle I think its a trick by the gun store to get me to go back and spend more money!! I wasn't planning on getting a semi, but I figured the ammo for it is cheap I may as well go through a lot of it!

Another vote for the CZ 452/453 rifles. Simply the most rifle for money period. Mine shot sub 1/2 in groups out of the box with inexpensive ammo, and even better with match grade ammo.

Best stick with the ruger 1022 or a marlin semi-auto
"Original" 10/22's are probably rare, they're so easy to modify. Neat, down-to-earth semi.
The Marlin Golden 39A is, I think, one of the most beautiful .22's ever built. An American classic. Beautiful wood, beautiful blueing. And a tackdriver. Takedown, easy to clean from the breach. BUT --- ya gotta like levers ...

Read very few posts. Get an old Mossberg for 125-150 nad they will shoot the pants of most 3-400 new rifles. Most are bolts.

The last 10/22 I owned (15 years ago) wouldn't shoot straight enough to hunt with. This was, of course, before the heavy barrels and all the aftermarket barrels, target stocks, etc. came out.
My opinion's changed after shooting a female friend's stainless 10/22 just after Christmas. At 50 feet she can clean an NRA light rifle target standing with a bunch of X's. This is with the thin barrel, not the target.
I'm still not impressed with the cost of one, though. I've yet to see one that wasn't 100 bucks more than a Marlin 60 or one of the Savage or Remington semiautos.

I have a marlin 60 and it's great. I like it more than a 10/22
what is the deal with those feather .22s?
I've heard of them and they seem cool but kind of expensive.

Marlin 39A
I love the feel, the weight, and the look.
I also like that fact that it shoots Shorts. Nice and quiet.
I shoot .22 pistol mostly, and wear ear protection, of course, all the time.
However, I enjoy taking the muffs off, unencumbered, and shoot some Shorts from time to time.

I AM WITH DOC.....With one addition.
1) T/C Arms (Classic or HB)
2) T/C G2/Contender/Encore
3) Ruger 10/22 (HB)
4) Remington (597 HB)
5) Marlin Model 60 Just keep it clean! and dont use cheap ammo in none of them...pay the extra $1 for better ammo!
If you want to shoot shorts I would forget the auto and Go with #2.
and the best option would be buy a #1 or #2 and a 3,4,&5 for the heck of it!
If you ever buy a T/C you will be hooked! Hey Doc ever shoot .22CB's in your contender? Its like stealth hunting squirrels.....they think there buddy had a heart attack instead of getting shot

Only one way to go....22LR in a Ruger 10/22 for what you are looking for. Later if you want you can throw a competition bore barrel on it and have it shooting like an RWS or close to 1913 supermatch accuracy all the better!

"universal" rimfire?
Alligator94; just so happens that I have a relative that's looking to part company with such a rifle. It's a Remington 550-1 (1946 manufacture date, I think she said) -- and if you're still looking for such a thing, let me know. As a collectible shooter, it's great. Way accurate w/any .22 rimfire ammo. I've personally put quite a few rounds through it, and I can't make it miss.
The only times I've run "mixed" tubes was when combining long and lr. I can't recall the thing ever choking on me, regardless of load used, but then it's always been kept clean. It's one of the good ones (milled from steel forgings), and the bore and innards are pristine. The bore and innards are the only things pristine about it; it's been a "user", and is in NRA good condition, at best.
Find one of these, and you'll have what you want.

Bass Pro Shops currently has the 10/22 field rifle (not carbine) on sale for $139. Probably the best 10/22 deal going right now.
In reality, you can't really go wrong with just about any .22 rifle... new or old. If you want to save money, attend a gun show or browse local pawn shops looking for used name brand .22 rifles. Usually 75 to 100 bucks will get you a fine shooter after a little cleanup and oiling that will be on par in terms of accuracy with any new .22 rifle selling today for $500 or less.
