A rather wide selection of autoloaders fall in the $300 to $500 range. Autoloaders include the Thompson/Center Classic, the Remington 552 BDL Speedmaster, and the some of the Browning Buck Mark models. Target type autoloaders in this price range include the Ruger 10/22T, T/C Benchmark, and Browning Buck Mark Target models. The Ruger 10/22T has a heavy, beautifully finished hammer-forged barrel and comes with no sights. With a blue barrel, the list price is $445 while the stainless steel version has a list price of $495. Retail prices are normally about $100 lower. Performance of the Ruger 10/22T is discussed in Chapter 13. For shooting that may involve low-level bench rest or silhouette competition, the choice would be a toss up between the Ruger 10/22T and the T/C Benchmark depending on personal preference. At 7.5 pounds without sights, the Ruger 10/22T and T/C Benchmark are somewhat heavy for general field use, but either would be an outstanding rifle for the hunter who likes to sit in the woods watching for squirrels. Keep in mind, there is a lot of personal preference in these suggestions (not necessarily to be taken as the author’s recommendations), but they are based on experience with several of the rifles described.
