Everyone needs a Ruger 10/22 
They are semi-auto and are a great entry gun. I think they run around $220-250 to buy new? They aren't without their flaws but they're handy to have

I second the 10/22. Best entry level gun money can buy.

10/22 is a great rifle and I own two of them. That said my favorite 22 to shoot is a Henry lever action.

I have 3 10/22s but my favorite is the old Remington pump 22s. I have a knock off built by Rossi. Great gun.
What model Remington?
I've been considering one of these!

I have a Marlin semi-auto I got when I was twelve. Great little gun. Haven't priced one recently, but was always less than a Ruger.
Also little single shot Henry that is a great gun to start kids out on.

Model 29, The old ones
Nice. My favorite .22 is my late 1950's Model 572 Fieldmaster. (slide-action, tube load, aluminum sleeved barrel)

I have a Rossi pump but it's a copy of the old Winchester 62. Which, I also have one too. My Rossi is about 45 years old. The Win 62 is about 80 years old.
I didn't know they made a Remington copy.
My old 62 still works. The Rossi hasn't worked for 35 years. Never got around to trying to get it fixed not sure what that would entail.

P.S... I'd just get a 10/22.

I have a Silencerco Spectre II on one of my 10/22's. Mildly disappointed in the suppression, to be honest. With high speed ammo, anyway. I mean, it is quieter, but not "that" much. A lot of the noise at the shooters ear with a 10/22 is coming out of the action, which a suppressor actually makes worse, because of the increased backpressure. It's pretty cool with subs, but I have no use for subs except plinking. It is really great for that though.
The integral suppressor might be better? Dunno… And if it's purely for plinking and using subs all the time is viable, it is pretty cool. Really all you hear is the action cycling.
Surprisingly, or maybe not, but the suppressor makes a MUCH bigger difference on my 22/45. That thing is just plain a hoot to shoot, with subs or high velocity. Subs especially though, it's movie quiet.

I have three 10/22s and three of these henry's (2 youth for kids and a golden boy) and I love the lever action the most

I have a integrally suppressed 77/22 Bolt action. It is movie quiet. No action noise, just a light puff from the barrel. I'm going to buy another stock for my 10/22 and try the barrel on it to see the difference.

I have two of the common wood carbine models and I bought the 10/22 I-TAC 1296 for my youngest boy when he was doing his hunters safety.
