RE: Semi Auto or Bolt
Well when i went and bought my Ruger 10/22 a few months ago i bought the gun, bushnell varmint scope, 500 rnds of remington Subsonic's ( in the semi's you cant shoot hyper velocity bullets or flat pointed bullets such as the Remington Yellow Jackets(pic below) they must be rounded or else they dont load properly so that is something to take into consideration) an extra 10 rnd and 25 rnd clip, and bore cleaning kit for $450 at Whole Sale sports.

Got me the Savage Mark II .22 the other day, accu-trigger, bolt action, 10 round clip, with 3x9 scope at D|ck's Sporting Goods for $229 (regular $259). I haven't shot it yet, but it looks and feels like a sweet gun! They put the scope on and bore sighted it for me. It was going to be my son's gun, but he chose to take the Glenfield Model 60 I have, presumably because I killed both squirrels I shot at on our hunt together one morning last fall.

RE: Semi Auto or Bolt
i realize ammo cost is abit more of a concern when you can get a brick of .22 for 50rds of .17. but i know after getting a marlin 917V I lost any desire to purchase another .22 rifle short of an extra model 39A. The .17hmr is an incredible round capable of ridiculous accuracy. My buddy has a cheapo simmons scope and at 65yards can take his target paper down shooting the 4 tacks holding it up with only one shot apiece. But if you remain content on the .22 I vote Marlin anything, if you get a rimfire you can't go wrong with Marlin. I LOVE Ruger except their rimfire rifles. I've had the worst trouble from a magnatude of 10/22s i've used. most of them are feeding related but feeding or otherwise its still a problem. If I empty a 550rd brick of Federal .22 in my model 60I might have 1-3 missfires and most of the time its ammo related.
