What is the best 22wmr semi auto?

I speak from experiance on the 10/22mag , there is a reason they are discontinued . I had a huge thing with 10/22s about 6/7/8 years back(somewhere the start of CGN I beleive ) probley built upwards of 20 regular 10/22s , a couple of 10/22lr-> 22mag conversions and a few of 10/22mags as well . My conversions functioned better than the real deal.
I had both models of the 22mags single and dual extractors, I know the actions like the back of my hand and they did not function all that great . I also found that the barrel Hole was also milled of center on ever one I have owned an played with and the barrel Canted off to one side , witch ment for for heavy windage adjustment. I could make them shoot ,and put a tonne of cash into them and had a great time doing it ............

I love the 10/22 and will buy guns to have a set , but the (2) 22 mag semis that sit in my safe is a target model..................... Remington 597.

No problems what so ever and I have worked the one , and keep the other just to have .

get the 597 mag

is your 597 the Laminated Heavy barrel Model ?,every one is to there own opinion ,guess it comes down to what shoots better . Never Had a Marlin in a semi so cant speak from experiance , But have had them in a bolt action 22mag and The savage Heavy Barrel out shot it

May very well be, just a few things on that one, checked the scope it was $161 usd in 1983 digest, Japan glass, the MSRP on the Marlin is $441 , same book has the 10/22 MSRP $223 , might be just numbers though, does look like a junker:D ;)
I tried to figure out guns, and its whats popular that gets high dollars, not what goes into making them, material wise.:)
 
I have the marlin on the camp carbine chassis and it's a beauty for sure, wouldn't let it go for less than $1000 though....
 
Hk 300, Brno zkm 611, if you like blues steel guns. Had a volquartsen 22mag for a while never a lick of trouble. The magnum research version is junk
