Thanks for all of the responses...
After reading all of the suggestions and perusing the inventory of four local shops, I decided to go with the Mossberg Plinkster (convertable single-shot, bolt action) for my son, and the wife may use it a bit also. But I could not stop there. While looking around I fell in love with a Browning T-bolt. However, it is expensive. After trying to find a deal on one, I ran into a CZ 455 American locally and "pulled the trigger" on one. I also considered the Savage BTV, which I liked, but it was a little heavy. I am sure it would be perfect for just target shooting from a bench, but not as good as a plinker. So, its the Mossberg and the CZ. Next I'll be looking for a scope for my CZ. Thanks again to all!

The 10/22s certainly have a following. My grandfather had one and it was a fine rifle, but I have no intention of customizing and that model is just not for me. If the wife picks up shooting, I'll probably get one in synthetic for her. When I took her to the shop (to kind of prime her for my purchase), she picked out the 10/22. Felt nice to her and she like the sights the best, compared to a couple of other semi-autos...

IMHO - The 1923 Savage model 23a or the Savage model 19 and its varients are by far the most accurate, easy to use rifle for starter shooters than any modern rifle out there. This family of rifles were used as Match rifles for military shooting teams since 1917 and are still in use for team shoots. They were also made for the Boy Scouts and came out with the Model 19 N.R.A. You can still find them in the $150 range with the orig iron sights. The orig peep sights go for about as much as the gun, but they are nice. The model 1919 resembles the P-14 .30 cal in looks and handling. It was very popular with the military folk coming back home. Of all the 22's I have had, this family of rifles are still the most accurate, reliable and easy to maintain.
They are a 5 shot (can be fed single shot) bolt action, magazine fed, 23" bull barrel rifle of timeless design. No need to add the mall ninja stuff on this rifle. There are however 10 round magazines avail from Triple-K and they actually work. |

10/22 if you want to customize the crap out of it.. without noticing you will have built yourself a $2000 .22
marlin 60 for a classic that looks like a classic and shoots like a dream (my choice) savage and CZ both make very nice mag fed bolt .22s cant really go wrong with any of them.. i dont think i will ever get rid of my marlin 60.. when i die the grandkids can fight over that but till then im keeping it.. the 10/22 is great and i want one just because i want one..
