    Cheers @Tentman
    Good info there.

    I've molested all the 22s available, and the 3 rifles I picked out seemed the pick of the bunch.
    I liked the familiar AR feel to the Ruger, and the Ruger rotary mags is good as pretty much available anywhere.
    The carbon RPR was significantly lighter than the steel version and also is suppressed already. Alloy chassis all gets cold on the long nights shooting as a con. Seems quality control has been an issue with Ruger and been a few slip through that should've been scraped by the sounds.

    The Bergara I've read have had cold bore issues where they need 5-8 shots to then be accurate.
    But it had a fantastic feel to the action and had a real nice mag release. Stock felt nice to shoulder as well.

    The Howa stock felt very plastic and hollow as well. Like a bad Easter egg.
    Action felt good though and the mags weren't bad either.

    Each had their pros and cons.
    Without being able to field test them, I wouldn't like to say which 1 was the better.
