I'd say a Marlin 795. I have an older 10/22 but have never liked it. Don't get me wrong, it shoots well and with the aftermarket extractor it will grab everything from the chamber be they empty cases or duds. It simply feels unpleasant to me. I have a Nylon 66 and though it only has irons it carries and shoots so well. My boy's Marlin 795ss is one of the best little 22's I have ever shot. Accurate and consistent and is a pleasure to carry. It belonged to my mother.
I may try and trade my 10/22 for a pre-Remington 795ss and a few bricks of ammo.
So my recommendation is for the Marlin 795
