Hey Blast,

I have owned a pile of .22's over the years and think I now have 6 at home?

If I had to start from scratch again; I would buy a Ruger 10/22, in stainless steel with a synthetic stock. It would not be as nice as my Browning T-Bolt or compactable as my Marlin Papoose but I think the Ruger would get the job done in most situations.
