10/22 without question. You can find several books about modifying the Ruger and doubt you can say the same for the Marlin. You can buy all types of mods including countless heavy barrels. The 10/22 in my opinion is the AK47 of the rimfire world....except with better accuracy. It is tough like the AK, guess that is what I am getting at. Have had my on countless hunts and target shoots. Has taken a beating over the years and still ROCKS! It is more compact and easier to move around while hunting in brush. Just an all around good gun.

Oh, on a side note heard today you can't get some repl. parts for the Marlin anymore due to it changing financial hands. Won't be any more new made either for the same reason....could change in the future. But, who knows how long that will be.
