Would have a Marlin 795 or older Marlin 60 any day over the Ruger or Remington. Marlin rimfire rifles use the micro-groove rifling and I've never come across one that didn't shoot well. Have a friends M60 in my gun cabinet that shoots 10 shot half inch groups at 50m with Mini-Mags - as good or even slightly better than my Brno Model 1 with target ammo.
Used and seen plenty of Ruger 10/22's that had terrible accuracy, a couple that were average and one that shot well. The Remington 597's I've used and seen shoot okay but not as accurately as a Marlin.
