I had been going through the whole 22 thing for the past couple months and finally decided on a Mark III hunter(top of the line Mark III). I looked at all the guns suggested here. Really wanted to like the Sig/Hammerli but couldn't get a comfortable 2 hand grip on it. Felt to me like the grip was more designed for 1 handed shooting like the rest of the Hammerli target pistols, plus my thumbs would rub on the slide. The Brownings felt like decent guns, but I personally prefered the Ruger I got over any of the buckmarks(with these two it's like the whole STI/EVO, Chevy/Ford thing)
In the price range, for a target/plinking 22, the Rugers, Brownings, and Sig Trailside are the 3 I'd recommend looking at.
The Sig Trailside has been discontinued though last I heard, so if you want a new one act fast.
