Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I've always preferred my Marlin 60 over the Ruger 10/22. Don't get me wrong, I like the 10/22.
It's a little pricy, but the most accurate 22 I own is a CZ 452 Scout. It's the youth model I bought for my son and is ridiculously accurate. I would take that over any other I've shot or own.
If you are a lefty, forget the AR-7, the way the receiver assembles to the stock is offset to the right. This makes for a cumbersome grip for the left handed.
My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

How about a Single six?
Shorter... lighter ...I can hit a 16" steel target off hand at 100 yards with my 6.5" pistol. And you can put it in a holster.
Thinking outside he box. PLUS you don't have to ask the game or the bad guy to wait a second while you assemble the damn thing.

I like the AR-7 if your purpose is a lightweight compact rifle to harvest small game with a .22 LR. Mine is accurate and lightweight even with 5 spare magazines (2 of them 15 rounders).
For self-defense as well as hunting slightly larger animals (e.g., coyotes), I like the Beretta CX-4 Storm. It takes the same magazines as my M9/92fs, is lightweight and easy to handle and has a rail for optics if desired. If I had to live with just one, this would probably be it.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I learned quite a bit just by having to look all of those up.
I may end up with another .22 handgun after all, but will be looking at all the options the next time I had to a funshop.
Rossi model 62 pump, copy of the early Winchesters. I've owned a couple. They break down pretty small, accurate enough out to 100 yards or so, and will feed pretty much anything in .22 short, long, or long rifle(unlike most autos).

Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
What about something like a Thompson Contender or some other "pistol" with approx a 10" barrel?

If you're going that long see my previous post. .38/.357 or 44 in a small multi shot package.Originally Posted by Irving

Get a break-action shotgun and drop some $ on this . Cool concept, only 300 or so have been sold and who knows if they're any good.
I have an AR-7, but i really prefer my AR15 running the 22 conversion bolt. The bolt runs a little less than you'll pay for a full rifle.
