22 magnum rifle recommendation

[Springfield XD40 Man]

Hey guy's, I have a simple question. I'm currently looking at buying a 22 magnum rifle, and I want an auto-loader. Would the Ruger 10/22 be a good choice? I just want something to take care of small pest animals on my property, from squirrel's up to a fox, and probably some target shooting. Any opinions or recommendations?

Marlin 922M (discontinued but still highly available)
Ruger 10/22 mag

I think those are your choices in autoloaders. Me, I've got the Marlin 922M, and it's very nice and robust, but to do it again, I'd probably get the Remington 597 for future parts availability reasons. They should all work, however.

I have the Ruger 10/22 mag and have been amazed by its accuracy. But you can't go wrong picking from FirstFreedom's list. Pick up and handle all of them and choose the one that fits you the best and just feels good. They are all accurate rifles so you can't go wrong.
