I like the Ruger 10/22. There are very many "upgrades" available for it.

Isaac, I own a Savage and Ruger in 22lr. Both are quality rifles. My Savage is slightly more accurate compared to the Ruger but both function reliably. This will boil down to personal preference as they are all close in feature/function. Savage is know for out the box accuracy with a wide range of ammo. Cheers and stay safe!

All are good choices, but if you are looking for a budget rifle, consider the Rossi RS22, under $150, although it is out of stock right now. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/100165/rossi+usa+rs22+semi-auto+22+lr+18%22+black+synthetic+10%2b1

Isaac, Any or all of the rifles mentioned are great. Buy whatever you can get your hands on. Edward made a great call if you want dependability, great features without spending a bunch of money with the Rossi. Savage makes a great gun, but the standard most semi auto rim fire rifles are compared to is the 10/22. Your asking a question that has no right answer. Just the answer for you not us.

I vote for the Mossberg Patriot synthetic line with the mounted Vortex scope all in ready to shoot for about $400.00.

the ruger 10 22 is a great choice and with all the aftermarket parts you can have a lot of fun upgrading and customizing it the henry lever action is also a lot of fun
