I like the Ruger. Personally, I'm a sixgun guy. I like accuracy over rate of fire, since self-defense is not something I worry about. Do you have any real use for the run besides plinking? If so, you will probably be happier with the .22. If your .22 is not a Ruger Mark II, go get one. I think a Ruger Mark II and 10/22 provide all the shooting fun you can handle. My .44 Magnum is a lot of fun to shoot, and a different challenge, but it's really only something I got into because you need that kind of power for hunting.
