Pay attention if you look at the Henrys--some of their base versions have plastic parts.

Thanks! Basically, I'm looking for two .22s. I want a boltie (priority) and a semi. The boltie is a must, but I will buy the second if someone will cut me a deal for the pair under $400. $350 or under would be even better.

I'd say to look at the Rugers--base 10/22, and the American bolt action rimfire. Might want to raise your budget just a bit.

If not that, then the Savages, they have a great reputation. Once upon a time I'd have recommended the CZs, but they're not cheap, and I've heard the 455s aren't as good out of the box as the 452s.

Local MoD has a synth. stock 10/22 on sale for $189. You can find Savage MKIIs all over the place for less than 2 bills. I have several of the Savage rimfires in three calibers. Great guns for the money.

Any decent pawn shop should be able to hook you up for a lot less than $350. I think I paid $60 for the last .22 I bought in a pawn shop (Marlin Model 60), but I could have had my pick of the litter for $100.

I picked up a pair of BNIB Savage Mk II youth models this summer, for a grand total of $410. Of that, $25 was S&H, and $25 was dealer's transfer fee. The only difference between the youth model and the adult version is the length, and the adult stock is nicer (got a little monte carlo, and some pressed checkering). Otherwise, they are pretty much low-budget lasers.

That was the first rifle that I ever bought.

This. 1000 times, this. Henry golden boy is probably my favorite rifle overall.
