.22 Magnum

Lately I have been on a .22LR kick. Has always been one of my favorite rounds and with the rising prices of ammo, it has really become my favorite round. I have now been kicking around the idea of getting a .22 Magnum. It's really not a question of "if" more like what kind. I am not worried about the ammo because I have recieved some from a friend. If you were going to buy any .22 Magnum Revolver our there, which one and why? I am looking for something that isn't going to break the bank and although it isn't a must, I would really like to find something that I can mount a scope on. The only one that I have found to meet that requirement so far is the Ruger and that is a little more then I am looking to pay for a .22 Magnum. What say you guys?

smith and wesson 351pd 6" 740.00 to 775.00
taurus tracker 4" or 6" 450.00 to 500.00
ive got an old ruger singlesix and with it came two cylenders.. mine shoots 22mags alot better than 22lr. but it shoots good either way. im not a very good pistol shot. but i still like em.
If you really want a 22wmr pistol, I'd go for a Ruger single six with both cylinders, or the Automag. Also, I've read that Excel Arms will be makgin a 22wmr kit for the 1911... *drool*
But with the price of 22 mag ammo these days, I never shoot it.

if you are wanting a revolver that is 22 mag and that can be scoped, you have a couple of good choices.
The Taurus Tracker is one.
The one that I am about to pick up is the Ruger Super Single Six Hunter. Has both 22LR and 22Mag cylinders and has the scope mounts included.
Here is what they look like

Them are pretty neat looking little guns. About how much do them cost? I was unaware that anybody made a semi-auto chambered in .22 Magnum. I may have to look into them and see if I could find a place where I can take a look at one.
I really would like to get one of them Ruger's like you posted medic, but I haven't decided if I want to pay that much yet.

I have 2 semi auto 22 magnums. The Automag now being made by High Standard. Had a couple issues at first, now runs great. Pricey at $695. Also have an Excel Arms Accelerator in 22 mag. About $400, also love this piece. Would not be afraid to suggest either piece to someone in the market, I have been very happy with both of them. Google High Standard and click on the AMT line. also google Excel arms for more info.
