I am looking at three different .22's. Which would you guys say is the best option. They are all brand new by the way.
Savage 64BXP semi or bolt, wood stock with a 4x32mm scope. 159.98
Remington OD Green 597 Semi, 3-9x32 scope and boresighted. 179.98
Ruger 10/22 10 shot rotary. 189.99
I plan on doing some target shooting, and some varmit hunting. What would you guys recomend. If you say Savage, bolt or semi? __________________

all those choices are good
but you can't go wrong with a 10/22
lots of aftermarket parts and upgrades as well
I would get a 10/22
try them out if you can __________________

Well your about to get a somewhat loaded answer.
The truth is that a 10/22 isnt a match grade plinker out of the box, as most any gun isnt. However, if your thinking of going into some competitions, the savage in bolt action is a good start. 10/22 shall forever and always be my choice for small game however. __________________

The 10/22 will serve you well. Second is the 597 and last the Savage. JMHO. __________________

I have the 597 camo and it's a great gun. It doesn't have all the aftermarket garbage that the ruger's do, but it fits a grown man better than the ruger's stocks do. 
It's also accurate right out of the box. Throw a decent scope on there and you're all set for way less money.
Later, you can get a VQ hammer and extractor for better performance. | |

God another 10/22 fanboy in the making.
Get the 10/22 and call it a day.
Or if you want a real mans semi auto get an older mossberg 352k. | |

I would choose the 10/22 for the same reasons, it's a great gun to begin with, but the opportunities are endless for upgrades. I do not recommend the 597, as a gunsmith I have seen my fair share of issues with these rifles, though they have gotten better. | |
