Not sure if this has been talked about .But to my knowledge the Ruger 10/ 22 is the best of the semi-autos because of dependability and lots of after market stuff.Started this thread because we were dicussing guns in the PAL thread and thought it off topic
The 10/22 is a really nice peice of kit, I own one myself. Another good reliable gun is the Remington VTR. All in all though, the nicest .22 I ever shot was the Calico .22 Sporter. Unfortunately it's now one of the prohibited weapons we can't buy anymore.

For clarification, remington has a few models of the VTR. What you're looking for is the Remington VTR 597, which is the 22 rimfire.
You absolutely cannot go wrong with the 10/22. Mine is GREAT. A friend of my moms purchased one when it first came out in 1964, and still has it in his barn as a vermin rifle. Never failed on him once.
It's better to prep for something that may never happen than not prep for something that does.

Rugers are nice, but I wouldn't trade my Remington Nylon 66 for anything. 14 shots, semi-auto, weighs 4 pounds and at 50 yards I do 1.5 inch groupings

I had a Nylon 66 for 37 years and never a problem. The only problem I have with it now, is that I gave it to my son. He uses it all the time and I haven't heard any complaints from him yet.

Love my Ruger! Not as much as my husband but close...lol)
Hey Tazweiss
Which Nylon did you have? The Apache Blach, Black Diamond, Mohawk or the rare Seneica? I bought the Apache Black 33 years ago, picked up a Black Diamond last year for about 2 bills with taxes. I love them

The Apache Black with a 4 power Bushnell Banner scope. Even after 37 years it was still deadly accurate. At 100 yards I could still clip the cap off of a plastic water bottle on a consistant basis.

I for one prefer my old Cooey 64 .22 with it's 10 round mag. It's been far more reliable then any other semi .22 that I or my friends own (one has a 10/22 which is a fine gun in itself).
Picked up my old Cooey for $40 at a gun sale. It came fitted out with a cheap 3x scope on it too.

I think he 10/22 by far!!!!!!!!!!!! I bought one a few years ago and it has never failed me.I bought it used for $90 and it was an older one with the metal trigger housing. I put a match grade barrel on it, volquartsen trigger assembly, a new stock and some decent glass which improved it quite a bit. Some rifles are more accurate but more touchy when it comes to being dropped and tossed around while something like the 10/22 will stay accurate while being beat. If you do get a 10/22 make sure you get a nicer V-Block which holds the barrel in. Whatever you do stay away from the "Henry AR-7 Survival Rifle" biggest piece of crap I have ever owned.
I bought an AR-7 years ago. I still have it. Definately not the most reliable or accurate gun I've ever had. I carry it in my rucksack for emergencies only.
The worst peice of crap I ever owned was a Squire-Bingham .22. The only time it came in handy was when I removed the stock and used the barrel for prying some boards off an old fence.

If you can find one....Henry - U.S. Survival AR-7.
Its the rifle that pilots used to cary in their plane, 22lr, the whole rifle breaks down and all parts including 3 mags fit in the stock.
Its water tight and floats, fits in your pack.

Question Can-AM and it`s timely, I was just considering purchasing a Henry - U.S. Survival AR-7.
You don`t seem to be too impressed. Could you elaborate a bit with you`re concerns about it.
