If you looking for a .22 plinker, I'd get a Ruger 10/22. They are cheap (starting around 200), and huge amounts of accessories available for them from tacticool to match stuff.

Heres my impartial partiality

Henry looks damned old school with the octo barrel
The rem looks nice but it looks like my 766 crossman i had as a kid and im afraid id try to put bbs in it

well i already have an AR15 so all my tacticool stuff is gonna go on there...the reason i want a pump is so i can fire 22 short or subsonic 22lr with no problems

That makes sense. With that in mind, I'd go for the Henry. I kinda like that old nastalgic look.

You can fire 22 sub sonic in the 10/22... just possibly not in the semi-auto basis. Mine will do it some times yes, sometimes no. I used to shoot a bunch of 22 CB Longs at pigeons in grain eleveators. It was purely single shot, but that was all I could get at each pigeon, anyway. CB longs are the same bullet as 22 short - 29 grain bullet - in a LR case. very quiet and very slow.

10/22's are where i would go with a 22 plinker... 3 in the gun safe. The punp does sound interesting, but then, so does the SIG 522.

Just get what makes YOU happy.
