I'm looking to pick up a Bolt Action 22 for range time and to teach the kids to shoot. I'd like to keep it in the $200 range. I don't want a youth size or a single shot. One of the primary reasons for me picking one up is to help affordably scratch the itch when I want to dump a bunch of brass at the range.
I'm considering some of the semi-auto options like the Marlin 795 or 60, Ruger 10/22, or the Remington 597, but I keep coming back to the bolt actions. In my mind, the bolt action should be less finicky with ammo.
I can't justify the CZ's, higher end 22 rifles, etc. Primary use will be range time as described above with maybe some light varmint hunting involved.
What rifle would you suggest?
