With so many options for .22s out there I'm not sure which would be the best option for a middle of the road shooter that wants to pop off rounds at the range and hunt squirrels, rabbits, etc. The folks at the local big box sporting goods store only had one in stock (Ruger 10/22 for $175) and I just want to make sure I'm not just buying what they have left in stock. If I'm getting one I want it to be one that will last a while and be reliable for years to come.
