Friend asked me what I would get, said mk4. Then browning if he wants new, look at old highpowers but he is not really in internet guy so thats not going to happen.
So out of all the poly stuff from sw, walther, the ruger sr22, etc etc etc in that vein whats regarded as the least fussy, most reliable.
Something 3.5-5 inch barrel, conventional looking for plinking up at the cabin. Not competition.
Yes I tried to get him on board a 22/45 he was not having it.

The S&W MP22/C is considered a pretty reliable gun. I have two SR22s which are pretty reliable. Bought one and it was so much fun I bought another. I bought both mine used as I don't think they are worth the cost new. The Taurus TX22 is considered a good, reliable and hi-capacity 22 plinker. Better value than either the Smith or Ruger. Don't know anything about the Walther.

The Buckmark or S&W Victory would be my 1st choices.
I've had a couple people tell me they were very happy with the Browning 1911-22lr, but I have no personal 1st hand experience with it."Saepe errans, numquam dubitans --Frequently in error, never in doubt".

I mentioned the SW victory as well, since I know he has sw wheel guns, I think this might be partly for his kid to think its cool, he just said he doesn't like the looks of sw vict, browing buckmark, ruger mk4 etc. Disappointing he is being so fussy.

I have two SR22's and both are good guns but the most reliable .22 I have that eats every ammo I put through it, including bulk ammo, is my Taurus TX22. And the TX22 is a bigger more comfortable for bigger hands than the SR22.
And the 16 + 1 round capacity TX22 sells for $50 to $100 less than the SR22.
Edited to add:
The TX22 also comes with a threaded barrel and silencer adapter.

Looking for something no zinc, I am anti zinc/zymek, so is he, he has had cheap 22 lr that were zinc like a long barrel phoenix arms he got for a song, and its still the worst thing he said he ever bought, despite buying it for something like 45-50 bucks on a whim.
