22 RIFLE
I have a Ruger .22 lever action rifle. A very nice gun. I need a better scope for it though. It's a cheap $20 type scope no where close to the quality of hte rifle. The rifle holds 10 rounds in a small/simple clip. It's been a great gun for shooting at gophers. I like it but it wasn't cheap.

I agree with Iowafun, the Ruger 10/22 is one of the most popular semiautos sold. The 10 round rotary clip doesn't protrude below the stock (in the balance area of the gun when you want to carry it with one hand). There are also some tube feed models as well as clip styles from other manufacturers that are good. Remington, Marlin and Savage are all well built and accurate. Most have scopes mounts built in. Some don't have a front sight and are meant for scoped shooting only. The length of pull varies slightly (distance from trigger to end of butt stock) among the models. So, if you are tall or short they will fit the individual differently. Suggest going to a gun shop that carries all the brands and pull it up into shooting position and check it out for comfort. Some offer a MonteCarlo stock which allows you to rest your chin better and some have a thumb hole mounted in the stock for better grip.

My vote goes to the Ruger 10/22 also. It was a present 36 years ago and shoots as good today as it did brand new. I'd be afraid to guess how many rounds have been fired through it

DITTO,
I have a Ruger 10/22 with 4 25 round banana clips we shoot 1500 to 2000 rounds at a time. Only problem I have had is when I encounter a weak or bad round. I love the gun. It is not much good after 100 yrds but I find it on target (golfball size) at 75 yrds.

Thanks everybody for all the replies.
I think I know less about buying a gun than I did about Buying a Tractor.
Some Questions:
Clip or tube loading?
Lever or bolt action?
Would like one that uses long, long rifle and short cartridges..

I think you will have to get a pump to shoot shorts. I do not know of a Auto that will shoot them. They (shorts) do not have enough power to eject the shell. I prefer clip when the clip breaks just buy another. I have a 1939 winchester pump that is tube loaded and it shoots them all. Not for sale.

I've got a 1906 tube feed Remington pump that my grandfather bought new in the early 1900s. It's in pristine shape and shoots like new. Not for sale either
