Which .22?

[Eagle Eye]

I am in the market for my first .22 pistol.
Budget is around $400 +-100.
Will be used around the homestead for critter control but also a toy.

If you were in my shoes, what would you get?

+1000 on the Buckmark!! Easy to clean , easy on the wallet, and feels great in the hand!! Accurate as you can shoot!!

MK IV.I bought 2 buckmark campers 2 years ago.I put 4000 rounds through one and about 3000 through the other.After a trip back to browning they lasted about another 500 rounds.Got rid of both of them.I have put over 10,000 rounds through one buckmark and about 2500 through the other.No problems so far.I am not a browning hater, just don't care for buckmarks.
