I love the 22mag myself and i once had the Ruger bolt action that came out around 1992-93 but i sold it as i remember paying about $235 new for it. My current 22mag is a Ruger Single six with a 6" barrel in SS which cost me as much as a new Glock but it's a tack driver and i love it.. try some of the CCI VMax 22Mag shells as there nasty..
