Received a few gift cards to Dick's and would like to get a new .22 rifle(don't have one).

From their website I am considering the following and would like advice; this will be a range/plinker gun as I do not hunt.

Ruger 10/22
Savage 64gxp w/scope
Remington 597 w/scope
Marlin 795

I want this rifle for a fun and cheap(to feed) gun for my daughter and myself. If there are other options at Dicks's, I have only looked online, I am open to them.

I am partial to semi auto but not adverse to other options.

Any guidance is appreciated.
 
10/22

If you can only afford one get a 10/22, if you can afford two get two 10/22's.

Just kidding but seriously, anyone who is into guns should have at least one of them... when shooting outside my 10/22 always gets the best workout of all of my guns.
 
Of those listed, I've owned the savage 64 and ruger 10/22. I can't say which is more accurate. Both were good enough for my plinking and hunting. The iron sights on the ruger are better (although I ended up using a scope on both anyway). The 10/22 is also just more fun to me, and the customization options are nice for when you want something a little different.

I can't comment on the Marlin and Remington models.
