I would say the Ruger, for the customization factor and aftermarket accessories (stocks, barrels, etc.).
.but I absolutely lust over the T/C...

hmmmm under $600... its a Ruger 10/22......
If you bump it to $700 its hands down the Buckmark Rifle in a target barrel......
The 10/22 is super easy to work on but all the aftermarket parts on a 10/22 are going to cost ya.......
With a buckmark, all of your parts are there, all ya gotta do is play with them a little..... but easy to work on ..... not so much..... paly with it a little and you should be good..... but it is a little bit more involved than the 10/22...
Cheers!

If it came to a choice of either new or old semis, I would have to put my 1947 Mossy 151M in first place. It eats what ever I throw at it, never needed any "add-ons" to get it to shoot and still does a great job at either 50 or 100 yards. For varmints, it is fabulous.
And for the amount ($0)I paid for it, I could not want for more.

I'm going to have to throw in my Mossy 146B(bolt) & 151k(semi), without a doubt nothing compares to a mossy! NOTHING!!!!
You asked for the "best" semi... I like my 10/22's but they really are ok semis that have a ton of aftermarket support. With a significant investment you can build a terrific .22, an absolute tack driver no doubt about it. But out of the box they are just ok.
The out-of-the-box champion is (hands down) the T/C R-55. Period. A wee bit over $500 new, but there is absolutely nothing that you need to do to the gun to make it a dead accurate and highly reliable .22.

if u want a semi , that means u want fast action shooting or thats the way i see it. u have to be able to hold the rifle up comfortably and the stock
has to fit u to be able to shoot acurately. i have 2 semi,s a T/C R-55
and the Ruger stailess 10-22 target. they both have good and bad points.
the t/c is 1/2 lbs heavier than the ruger bull barrel but the weight on the
t/c is in the back receiver area and is better ballanced. it's easy to hold up and swing and shoot. the ruger weight is all in the bull barrel and is muzzle
heavy. that is fine if u are strong like arnold swarth######. i tire quickly
with the ruger so i cut 1 inch of the barrel and tapered it. that took 3/4
lb of the muzzle end but it feel like 3 lb lighter. the stock fit is poor for me
on both of them and had to modified to fit me. the ruger stock bedding need tweeking. every time u remove the action , the POI changes. my t/c has
IMHO a design flaw in the fiering pin. every 5000 to 8000 rounds, the fiering pin breaks. i have not had good luck with the t/c factory. i ordered 6 fiering
pins around $2.50 each. that is fine except i got a bunch of factory
rejects. they were all dished and all to short. they would fire at all. not even
a mark on the shell. i sent pics to t/c and complained and that was 6 months
ago and no word. overall i perfer the t/c for the ballance and acuracy.

best semi-auto .22 ?
I owned a Remington Speedmaster model 552 BDL ( deluxe ) it was a great rifle , accurate , never failed , well made , didn't matter if it was dry or just oiled cycled flawlessly, I also owned a couple of old Mossberg's , 151K , and 151M , over 50 years old and they were very good , Lakefield model 64 is another good semi.all of these rifles were bought at gun shows or auctions , and all were under $300 ....later Joe

It looks like the T/C is probably the winner?
How is the quality and worksmanship on the R-55 rifles? Is the R-55 made of all metal parts?
I admit I am old-fashioned and practical and I don't like things break down on me.
I like the Benchmark Heavy barrel version. I know they are a little pricey, but I would not mind if the price matches the quality. Also the Lifetime Warranty is a good seller too.
Thanks
