Many variations in the S&W lineup in .22. Check out their website! I am currently looking for one myself for a future purchase.

I like my 22A.  with cci minimags or federal automatch it's 100% reliable.
other brands would stovepipe occasionally. and, you can have 3 different barrel lenghts which you
can change out in about 30 seconds.

I have no complaints.  Mine is easy to maintain, reliable with most ammunition with the exception of bulk Remington.  I'll get an occasional failure in 100 rounds with the Rem bulk.  Oh, did I mention accurate?  I think it's the best bang for the buck and my wife loves shooting it.

I bought this one about two years back and had to have S&W do some adjusting. They recomended CCI mini mags? Functions perfectly with the CCI MMs.
