What's a decent 22 pistol for plinking?

[matt86m]

Looking for a 22 pistol to plink with. Not looking to break the bank but would like something with some accuracy. I know its rim fire but,,,

What do you say?

i love our Walther P22 with the extended barrel.  
 

The standard barrels at 3.4” are a little picky with ammo but the extended seem to cycle everything.

Would you consider a revolver?

Here's some good info.

Can't go wrong with a Ruger, Browning or Glock.

Ruger first, then after that a Ruger, then if they are not available, a Ruger.

HK416 22LR with a 50 round magazine or 100 round drum.  They have them in stock down the street.  (In Arizona)

Recently got 2 of these Beretta 70S'.  Nicely made.  Fun to shoot but these 2 don't seem to like hollow points so far.

22 pistols in general seem to be overpriced.  Got these on a whim but rifles make more sense.

Browning benchmark buy once cry once.

Ruger mk2 bull  there is no better .22 plinker. If you cant hit a soda can at 100 yards within 10 shots with it, give up shooting. Its not for you

Maybe but I think id go semi-auto first

Ruger first, then after that a Ruger, then if they are not available, a Ruger. 

So you're telling me to go look at Ruger?

Sounds spendy

I'm not saying it was Ruger, but it was Ruger.....  they offer a lot of different options and models...

Made in Ontario California which is kinda cool. 

It was really affordable when I grabbed one a 5 or 6 years ago. I think on sale it was like $145.00 or something... ive put a several dozen mags through it.. just keep it lubed

If you don't like the grip angle of the regular Ruger Bull Barrel, get the Ruger 22/45 that has a more 1911 feel to it.  Awesome plinker.  S&W 617 with 10 round cylinder would be MY second choice after the Ruger.

Very nice gun. The M&P AR22 is nice also

Not really anymore and possibly less than the Ruger.

Base models are reasonable. This is the one I have. You are welcome to try it out.

That's not bad. I was thinking $400 is the top for me so that's close
