I'm trying to round out my collection with one more rifle. I have a .223/5.56, .308/7.62, 9mm semi and 12ga pump, and I feel like I've a glaring omission. I'd like a .22 LR for cheaper plinking and practice, as well as a general purpose "survival rifle".
I'm trying to tune the shooter at this point. I was wondering if anyone had much experience with .22 rifles patterned after the AR platform (with the collapsible stocks and quad rails, etc), and whether they're worth a damn. They're pricey compared to simpler offerings and I just don't know what I'd be paying for.
I'm thinking that I should keep it simple since I already have the other rifles. It seems like the ruger 10/22 is a very popular platform. I was also considering a bolt action, since I used to shoot those when I was first learning and it was a blast, but I don't know anything about a good vs bad bolt action .22.
I'd love to hear your perspectives.
