Cheap quality Semi .22LR's
I like my Ruger 10/22 but I need another semi .22lr as a backup.
I don't have much time to search reviews so of these two which would you buy:
Savage 64 FXP.....or.....Remington 597

Check out a Marlin 795...cheap, accurate and uses a detachable mag.

I have the savage 64 and I like it. Use round nose ammo and it cycles great.

The rem 597 is a decent gun. No plastic parts. Detach mags.

64 is an old Cooey design. Dead reliable.

Love my 597. Haven't had any feeding issues with it at all. Good and accurate. For a budget basement gun I have zero complaints.

Enjoy the easy ride, anti hunters. Strange to me why we seem to be doing your job for you.
Excuse me while I go puke.

I have the Marlin as well. Have 2 10rd clips. Kids have a blast with them plinking.
I did have an issue jamming for a period. I think it was the ammo. New boxes since and no issues.

Why not just get another 10/22. On sale they are pretty cheap and you already like the one you have. That way you can share mags and other parts. The 10/22 is very easy to resell, some of the others, not so much.

I have a savage 64. Pretty decent gun and very accurate for less than $175 I paid. Put a 4x weaver on it and can put 10 rounds into a dime easy.

This would make sense most times. I need a .22 to dispatch critters caught in footholds and the rifles will be in separate locations. The el cheapo will be used and abused. It's complicated but lets just say that I don't mind wrecking the el cheapo and keeping the 10/22 as a good rifle.

If wholesale still existed, I would recommend the Rock Island Armory 10/22 which is a knock off, of the ruger that I got for $120. Other than that I can recommend a savage or marlin?
