I've been reading numerous posts on here and other forums trying to decide on a 22 rifle. This rifle will mostly be used as a plinker and a target rifle. I want it to be accurate right out of the box (no tinkering to get the results I want) I defeinately want it to be semi-auto because I would want to use it in plate comps. I came up with a small list.
Thompson classic or other model .22 I think this is my first choice
Marlin 60 or 70 These are OK but, was looking for something better.
Walther G22 I really like this one but I am not to sure on dependabilty and I hear it's a pain to take apart and clean. Plus the trigger was long a mushy
any other recommendations? I really don't want a ruger 10/22 (this time) I've shot them before and stock I didn't like them only after you sink $300 or more do I like them and I would just rather buy and shoot this time.
Edit I forgot I would want it to be accurate out to 100 yards for long target practice.
