I've got both a Remington 597 and a Marlin 60, both are great. The Marlin is a nicer made gun, also more accurate.
Can't beat a 10/22 for semi auto accuracy with all kinds of accessory options. It would be by only choice for a .22 semi auto. Bolt action .22s options are tougher to pick from. I haven't did much looking at bolt action .22s in awhile so I can't offer any suggestions.
Thanks for the quick replies all!
Allow me to add a couple of additional considerations....
1. I'd prefer semi-auto, without a doubt,
2. Must have a mag, not a tube underneath,
That being said, 10/22 is THE choice. Period
Right. Except for the Marlin 795, the Remington 597, and the Savage 64, all of which meet the criteria and any of which I'd take over the Ruger. Period.

Or if you want a really nice one, wait for the CZ 512 coming out later this year:

Do you have something against the Ruger? I have not studied the other models you have listed there, but the Ruger has a couple things going for it. It has far more aftermarket than any of the others listed, and a much longer history behind it. It's also very easy to completely dissasemble.
